Rome to Venice cultural tour in Italy

Planet

We tend to promote destinations that undertake initiatives aimed at protecting and improving the natural environment, by visiting these destinations you will support the efforts of the local authorities to engage in environmental projects. For example Perugia has adopted an automated rail system with traction rope to facilitate travel within the city as part of a sustainable mobility project.

We select our accommodation preferring those that have a historic background. By doing this we support our cultural heritage and help the owners to sustain the costs of maintenance and restoration. There are many different types of buildings that can be considered witnesses to our history and cultural heritage, they may be castle, historic residences and also old farms that have all been turned into accommodation for tourists. The buildings are harmoniously set in the surrounding environment that can be either in the countryside, in a village or a town. The upkeep of such buildings is not only expensive, finding and using the suitable materials is necessary in order to avoid changing their characteristic features. The challenge for the people directly involved, namely the owners, and for those who indirectly share their aim is to avoid any type of restoration that is definitely more expensive, time consuming and does not produce the same results as a constant upkeep
