Italy: where to travel in 2018

Salina Island, the most alluring of all the islands that make up Italy’s Aeolian archipelago

The American magazine Travel + Leisure has just released the latest ranking on where to travel in 2018. Just one of the magazine's 50 best destinations are in Italy.

Salina Island is introduced as the most alluring of all the islands that make up Italy's Aeolian archipelago. "It is not yet a celebrity haven like its neighbor Stromboli, where Giorgio Armani, Domenico Dolce, and Stefano Gabbana have homes; and it's not yet overrun with the luxury yachts of affluent soccer players like nearby Panarea. That the isle has stayed blissfully unspoiled for this long eludes those who know of its imposing natural beauty ?" steep mountains blanketed in blossoming trees and wildflowers, small villages speckled with olive and lemon groves, fig trees, and miles of terraced Malvasia vineyards".

If you are looking for a place to stay, Travel + Leisure has some good option for that as well: "the Relais & Châteaux property Capofaro Malvasia & Resort is one of Salina's finest places to check in to, thanks to its secluded location, private beach, Tasca d'Almerita wines, and restaurant spotlighting local flavors (think wild fennel, orange, and caper leaves). Once you've settled in, skip on over to the town of Lingua to watch the sun set on the Marina Garibaldi, and order the best almond granita of your life at the Da Alfredo waterfront café".
