Milano Marittima

Sprawling on Italy's coast, Milano Marittima sits surrounded by fragrant pine forest before an idyllic stretch of warm, golden sand. While basking on the beach and frolicking in the water is the resort's most popular activity, the creature comfort-packed city center offers a volley of fashionable shops, top-notch restaurants, and various haunts for late-night revelry.

There's also a handful of family-friendly attractions too. The Butterfly House, one of only a few in Italy, features a large climate-controlled rainforest environment, fluttering with colorful butterflies and insects.
