Rent a supercar and discover the best holiday destinations in Italy

Summer is just around the corner. It makes us want to spend days outdoors, admire the sunsets over the sea and leave behind the stress of everyday life for a few days. There is nothing better than planning a few days of rest, whether it is a romantic weekend or a fascinating adventure. 

But how can you choose a destination in the country with the largest number of World Heritage Sites? Our ideal vacations involve renting a supercar because it allows us to travel to discover lesser-known landscapes, those that everyone should see at least once in a lifetime. So, we propose to you some ideas for vacations in Italy that will make you dream with open eyes.

Rent a supercar to explore around the Castles of Rome

It’s impossible to imagine a list of places to go on vacations in Italy without starting in Rome. World capital and eternal city, Rome is not just about the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain, but also full of little treasures among its hills. Just outside the historic center and its timeless charm, you can discover the area of the Castles of Rome, named after of the high number of villas and castles nearby the city, which once belonged to feudal families.
Today, many of these fortresses are open to the public. Our favorites include:

• Frascati, a city of wine and famous for its view of the Capital, adorned by large gardens and sumptuous villas that also often house fabulous hotels;
• Castel Gandolfo, often named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, overlooking Lake Albano;
• Ariccia, accessible through a majestic, monumental bridge in your super rental car, is famous for having been an important Grand Tour destination for many artists between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. You can lose yourself in its streets and discover the best taverns where you can taste the world-famous porchetta IGP;
• Nemi, a town beloved for its traditional strawberry festival in June, but also for the Museum of the Roman Ships;
• Genzano, the town of the Infiorate, where a performance has been held to cheer up the month of June since the end of the 18th century. Between religion and folklore, flower petals decorate every street, creating true works of art.

Renting a supercar to explore the Marche is another ideal plan

Some of Italy’s lesser known but highly promising vacation destinations are there, small, and diverse. From nature to the ancient villages where the likes of Raffaello and Leopardi were born, this region is filled with magical places to explore. Why not do so by renting a supercar? 
Everything you are looking for in a vacation can be found here: the mountainous landscape of Appennini, the crystal-clear water of the Riviera del Cornero, the amazing art hubs such as Urbino, Gradara or Ascoli Piceno, the untouched nature of the Gola del Furlo and the Marmitte dei Giganti, the capes that plunge into the sea, the mysterious caves of Frasassi, its traditional cuisine and the great agricultural landscapes. The charm of the Marche is everything you have to discover there mile after mile in your super rental car.

Rediscover Umbria by renting a supercar

This region is also too often overlooked when thinking about the best places to vacation in Italy, but it has everything needed for a dream trip.
The first must-see in a road trip in Umbria is Gubbio, remarkable for its cultural and architectural heritage, together with its neighboring town Perugia: its alleys, historical monuments and landscapes will transport you to a dream world. From there, you can decide whether to travel to Lake Trasimeno to visit the fortress of Passignano, overlooking its enchanting waters, or continue to Assisi, one of the most beloved spiritual places in the world.
In the city of St. Francis and St. Clare, a visit to the Basilica, the Hermitage of the Carceri and the Porziuncola is a must. Continue your journey through the hills of Umbria with a stop in Spello, the town of small stone balconies adorned with flowers, which in June celebrates the Infiorate di Spello: an event where real works of art are created with flower petals.
From here you can continue in your supercar and immerse yourself in the Middle Ages among the typical dishes, art, and crafts of Foligno and Bevagna. Then, head to Todi and Spoleto, until you reach the Valnerina to admire the Marmore Falls, one of the highest and largest in Europe. Finally, you cannot leave Umbria without stopping at Norcia for an outstanding gastronomic experience.
