This is the Italian adventure you've dreamed of, and at Play Italy, we're dedicated to keeping it dreamy.
 
How, you ask? By championing the unsung hero of travel: insurance. Not the most exciting of travel companions, we admit, but trust us, travel insurance is your backstage pass to a worry-free experience. It's there to catch you if you stumble, covering everything from a sprained ankle on the cobblestones of Verona to a missing suitcase filled with newly acquired Italian fashion.
 
With Play Italy, your journey is enveloped in a cocoon of security from the get-go. So, let's make sure the only stories you bring home are of the wonders and marvels of Italy, not tales of what went awry.
 
There are tons or travel insurances you can choose from over the internet, which can cover your entire trip to Italy and even other Schengen areas in Europe, a quick search on the web should do!

Immerse yourself in Italy's exquisite allure without a single financial worry clouding your horizon—that's the Play Italy pledge to you.

Picture this: reclining in the lap of luxury at a waterfront restaurant in Sardinia, savoring a glass of the finest Prosecco as the Mediterranean sea whispers tales of yore, or acquiring an exclusive, handcrafted piece that not only speaks to your soul but also whispers the rich narratives of Italian craftsmanship. This is the luxurious journey we envision for you.
 
Let us navigate you through a budgeting strategy as sophisticated and refined as the Italian fashion lining the streets of Milan. With our guidance, you'll luxuriate in the pleasures of wine tastings in Chianti, private gondola serenades under the Venetian moonlight, and acquiring unique artifacts that symbolize the pinnacle of Italian elegance and artistry.
 
The only surprises on this journey? Those magical, unplanned moments that you'll treasure forever, like stumbling upon a private vineyard tour led by a passionate vintner or an impromptu private concert in a historic Roman amphitheater. Join us, and let's craft a journey where luxury is not just experienced, but lived.

●    A Light Jacket or Wrap: evenings can be cool, especially by the sea or in the countryside.
●    Swimwear: for those idyllic afternoons by the Amalfi Coast or Lake Como.
●    A compact umbrella or raincoat: just in case you encounter a surprise shower.
●    A Portable Charger: to keep your phone ready for photos, maps, and more, without worrying about different outlet types.
●    A Small, Secure Crossbody Bag: keep your essentials safe and your hands free as you indulge in gelato or snap photos.
●    Travel Adapters: Italy uses Type C, F, and L plugs, so come prepared.
