The brief
Usually, when we think of luxury Italian travel destinations we think of places like Positano, Cinque Terre or Capri. I was recently planning a trip to Italy with a friend and our challenge was to find a luxury travel destination which was not overrun with people….wait for it: in August. Anyone who has ever been to Italy knows that August is peak tourist season for foreign tourists as well as the time the Italians have their ferie (summer holidays). If you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday, the popular places can border on hellish.
