About Us
Why choose Citalia?
As the leading Italian Specialist we offer an extensive range of Italian destinations and properties, plus a host of transport options. We can create the perfect holiday for you by tailoring it to suit your exact requirements. In addition, our special offers, some exclusive to Citalia, bring you the best in value for money.
Flexibility
As our lives become busier, frequent short breaks are becoming increasingly popular. To meet this growing demand we offer total flexibility with a wide range of flights so that you can decide how long you want to stay and what day of the week you prefer to travel.
Your Choice
Our team of expert Travel Advisors have travelled extensively across Italy and can offer informed advice and personal recommendations to ensure you get the most out of your holiday. You may wish to:
- Ask us to book your flights and chosen accommodation
- Book car hire instead of a shared or private transfer
- Take a multi centre trip taking in two or more destinations; you could combine a city with a relaxing week on the lakes or take a ferry or flight from the mainland to one of the islands
- Create your own itinerary based on rail travel within Italy
- Pre-book excursions or tickets for a sporting or cultural event in Italy
We pride ourselves on our knowledge and flexibility and look forward to offering help and advice to create your dream Italian itinerary.
