CITY-BREAKS: Places are generally within 45 minutes
total transfer time from the airport - train or bus from the
airport to the city centre followed by a 10-15 minute walk or
5 minute taxi ride. All places have been selected so that you
can easily explore the city on foot with minimal use of public
transport.
by-TRAIN: fly to the recommended airport and
take a train to the place you will be staying for your short
break. Airport transfer times are generally less than 1h30 by
train. Almost all FLY-TRAIN breaks can be enjoyed as a FLY-DRIVE
break, but in general convenient and cheaper by train.
WE-MEETU holidays: fly to the recommended airport
where we will meet you on your arrival at the nearest airport
or mainline railway station, and take you to your hotel either
by car or mini-bus.
SELF-DRIVE: fly to the recommended airport, hire
a car, and drive to the place you will be staying for your short
break. Airport transfer times are generally less than 45 minutes
by car.
All short breaks are selected according to the following criteria:
Easy access from the main regional cities and airports - Comfortable
transfer times - City, countryside, seaside, lake and mountain
locations - Charming places to stay on a B&B basis - Highly
recommended locations that make an ideal base for a 3/4 night
break.

We are continually refining and
adding to our portfolio of Short-Breaks in Italy.
All our short breaks are presented with photos and descriptions
taken and selected by us personally to give an impression as
true to the reality as we can, in partnership with local family
run hotels and guest houses.
These are genuine Short Breaks chosen and researched by people
working for or in partnership with Xtrallusion.
This is NOT an unverified 'web portal' or online directory
- we select only those places that satisfy our criteria for price,
quality, charm and location.
Places
to stay have been carefully selected so that you can reach them
easily - ideal for long weekends and short break holidays when short transfer
times are important. |
Testimonials: "The location, ambiance and service at
the hotel was wonderful. Everything was A1 and all the staff
were delightful. The town was an ideal location both as a base
and as a little resort in it's own right. If we didn't want to
go far there were still lovely strolls and more interesting walks
on the doorstep." Elsie Sedgwick, London, UK. |
