The Only 3 Places in Italy I’d Take My Best Friend

After living in Italy for 20 years, I’ve learned there are places you visit once… and places you keep going back to. If I had just one week to show my best friend the Italy I truly love, we’d skip the crowds of Rome and Venice — and head to three unforgettable spots instead. We start in Sicily, where ancient ruins, street food, and coastal beauty hit you all at once. Then up to the Dolomites — quiet, majestic, and crowd-free. Finally, we slow down in Puglia, where whitewashed towns, olive groves, and lazy beach days give you that real Italian escape. These are my top picks for anyone craving beauty, peace, and real moments — and yes, I’m heading back to Puglia next week with my sister’s family. There’s no better place to recharge and reconnect. 🛵 Want to experience Italy to the fullest?
