With its epic cities, feted gastronomy, romantic landscapes and historic sites, Italy has enough variety for a lifetime of holidays. But what has been your favourite discovery? Perhaps it was a foodie break, a lazy beach holiday at a less-known Mediterranean resort, a culture-fuelled weekend at an under-the-radar town, or a hiking tour exploring the country’s wilder side.

Share your suggestions for Italy beyond the usual big-hitters, for a chance to win a holiday voucher.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
