Explore Italy's Most Stunning Train Journeys: A Perfect Villa Escape Add-On

Italy is a country of endless beauty, where every corner offers a story, a flavor, or a view that takes your breath away. While staying in a charming villa offers the perfect base to immerse yourself in la dolce vita, adding a scenic train journey to your itinerary can elevate your Italian experience even further. @afar

In a recent article by AFAR, some of the most picturesque train rides in Italy were highlighted, showcasing routes that take you through dramatic coastlines, rolling countryside, and even across to Sicily. Here are a few highlights to inspire your next trip:

The Ligurian Coast

Imagine a train ride hugging the cliffs of the Italian Riviera, offering mesmerizing views of the turquoise sea and colorful fishing villages like Cinque Terre. It’s a journey that feels like a postcard come to life.

The Dolomites

For those enchanted by mountains, the train route through the Dolomites is an unforgettable adventure. Snow-capped peaks, green valleys, and charming alpine towns create a landscape that’s both peaceful and awe-inspiring.

The Palermo to Catania Route

Heading south? The ride from Palermo to Catania in Sicily combines rugged coastal beauty with glimpses of Mount Etna, adding a dramatic flair to your travels.

Stay in a Villa, Travel by Train

The beauty of these train journeys lies in their accessibility from some of Italy’s most iconic regions. Whether you’re staying in a villa in Tuscany, Umbria, or the Amalfi Coast, these train rides make for the perfect day trip or multi-day exploration.
