After cruising around some dazzling isles and visiting some lemon groves, we’ll head back to Rome. But we’re not done yet – not even close. Sicily beckons, with its valleys of ancient archaeological wonders, volcanoes to explore, coastal towns to fall in love with and all of the heavenly carbs we can fit in. After a full week on this paradise island, we’ll be head-over-heels for absolutely everything Italian. It’s called Ultimate Italy for a reason
