Besides great cuisine, Italy is also a country with beautiful villages like stepping out of a fairy tale.

Perched atop a limestone cliff overlooking the dazzling Adriatic Sea, Polignano a Mare is one of the locations featured in many scenes. Believed to date back to the 4th century BC, this beautiful village is steeped in history, providing a relaxing feel when wandering through its old streets. The two sides are the beach and craggy cliffs, the whitewashed houses are delicately built along the cliffs, making the space seem much more open.
7. Chieti, Abruzzo
This is a secluded place between the Pescara and Alento river valleys. You can admire the cityscape below from the Maiella and Gran Sasso mountain ranges – some of the highest peaks in the entire Apennie range.
