Couples and small groups who want to combine beach, city and dining; families seeking a comfortable resort with some outings to discover the territory. Also suitable for those travelling for the first time with children in an Italian context.
When to go
From April to October. May, June and September combine pleasant sea and comfortable visits; July and August are the hottest and liveliest months on the coast.
