Verona & Olbia in €50s-€90s rtn

A quick and easy short-haul tip for you JFCers, just in case an Italy escape was calling your name :-)

While Cologne gets to fly to Italy's bluest waters at the perfect time to visit — trust me, you don't wanna be stuck in the Sardinian peak summer crowds — Paris has an underrated gem in their inbox today.

After you're done checking Juliet's balcony (spoiler: it's not the real one), make your way to Vicenza. With basilicas, bridges, and palazzos straight out of a Renaissance novel, the city's a stage for anyone who delights in architectural beauty.

The Teatro Olimpico and Basilica Palladiana are just two of Andrea Palladio's iconic masterpieces, but take a few steps outside the city centre, and you'll get to see my absolute favourite: the Villa Rotonda.

And after soaking in all the sights, what's better than dancing your shoes off at a music festival beneath the city walls?
