This book delves into the rich feast of Italy’s northwest: the towering Alps of Aosta; the dreamlike charms of the Riviera’s Portofino and Cinque Terre; Piedmont’s wine hills, hiding towns, castles and sleek agriturismi; the gardens of Lakes Maggiore and Orta; the sparkling new attractions of Genoa, and its palaces stuffed with art; and, Turin, royal capital of the Savoys and Italy’s hottest new city break destination.

It features: a dynamic new two-colour layout for easy navigation; a new magazine style, combining stunning photography, tailored itineraries and a personal take on the country; and, clear, newly-designed two-colour maps throughout for increased ease of use.

These are the only guides with full-colour touring maps of the whole region. It provides extensive listings of hotels and restaurants – all personally recommended for a really local flavour. It includes Top Don’t Miss sights for each regional chapter, plus Author Choices of personal favourite places to stay and eat.
