About Us

With our broad 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.

As our lives become busier, frequent short breaks are becoming increasingly popular and to meet this growing demand we have put a greater emphasis on flexibility. Choose our flexi prices and decide how long you want to stay and what day of the week you prefer to travel.

Many of our customers enjoy the independence of creating their own holidays. You may wish to:

• Ask us to book a brochured holiday, but with a low cost airline
• Have a transfer instead of car hire
• Alter the itinerary of a featured holiday
• Create your own multi-centre; combine a city with a relaxing week on the lakes, take a ferry or flight from the mainland to one of the islands, or lakes, enjoy the contrast of two lakes in one visit
• Create your own itinerary based on rail travel within Italy

• We offer competitive rates at hotels and Villas throughout Italy
• All round quality and value hotels from simple 3 star, to 5 star deluxe properties
• Flexible durations (depending on the hotel's minimum stay requirement)
• The facility to book accommodation not featured in our brochure (subject to certain requirements being met) - For main resorts please note that the minimum stay for accommodation not featured in the brochure is 7 nights. We can book 3 star hotels and above. 'Accommodation-only' is not available.

• We offer a choice of flights from our reputable charter services, to scheduled flights with major airlines such as British Airways, British Midland, Alitalia, Air France and Meridiana
• The option to fly into one airport and back from another - perfect for multi-centre holidays
• Rail travel to, and from Italy with Eurostar and Artesia, or rail travel within Italy
• An international journey on board the luxurious Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express-an irresistible way to begin or end a holiday, or indeed for those who prefer the shorter journey, why not try the luxury train to link Venice and Rome?
• Self-drive holidays by ferry, Hoverspeed or Eurotunnel with the chance to stop over in Paris, throughout France or places of interest across Italy.
• Flexible car hire with free drop-off and pick-up at different locations (a limited number of groups and locations are excluded). The superb motorway system in Italy means easy road access to most places of outstanding beauty within relatively short journey times.

We can organise a number of finishing touches which can make all the difference to your holiday:

• Private transfers, to and from, the airport or train station
• Flowers, fruit or wine placed in your room to welcome you
• Pre-arranged tickets for special events such as the Verona Opera

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service and our well-informed travel centre will arrange a holiday that meets all your requirements and expectations. Once there, you will be able to benefit from our Concierge Service for advice and assistance, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Book with us confident in the knowledge that the standard of your holiday is assured. Citalia has promoted quality holidays to Italy for 80 years.

We have a real passion for Italy and a thorough understanding of its people and culture. Our experience together with our meticulous care, attention to detail and personal touch really does make us the leading and longest established Italian specialist.

The combined knowledge of Italy within our company is immense.
