Overview

A place that still belongs to itself
 

There are places in Italy that feel like they’ve been carefully preserved for visitors — and then there are places like Chioggia, which have simply continued being themselves.

At first glance, it feels familiar. Canals cut through the town, bridges arch gently over the water, and the colors — soft, sun-worn, and imperfect — reflect in a way that calls to mind a quieter version of Venice. But the resemblance fades quickly.

Chioggia is not a stage. It is a working town.

Fishing boats return early in the morning, their decks heavy with the day’s catch. Markets fill with voices, not for show, but because this is how things have always been done. Laundry hangs between buildings, moving with the breeze that carries in from the sea. Life here is not arranged — it unfolds.

And if you slow down, if you allow yourself to notice, something begins to shift.

You see it in the way people greet one another in the street. In the rhythm of the day, marked not by itineraries, but by tides, meals, and light. In the quiet confidence of a place that has nothing to prove.

Just beyond the town, Sottomarina opens into wide, sandy beaches where the atmosphere is just as real. Families gather, umbrellas line the shore, and the day moves at the steady pace of the sun crossing the sky. It’s simple, grounded, and deeply Italian.

Chioggia doesn’t try to impress you. And that is precisely why it stays with you.

For those willing to step just slightly beyond the expected, it offers something rare — a connection to Italy not as it is presented, but as it is lived. And with the right guidance, it becomes more than a visit. It becomes a moment of recognition — of what travel can feel like when it’s allowed to be unfiltered, unhurried, and entirely real.

Stories That Stay With You

Here's what our guests share about their unforgettable journeys

“I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They know”

“This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place”

“As a travel agent, but also a traveler to Italy, thee is no other company I would recommend than the Italy Vacation Specialists. Not only do they really care about what they are doing, they also really know Italy and try to educate many people about ways they can best see the country and not fall into tourist traps. I have been on 4 trips with the IVS team, firstly when they did my first 2 trips f”

This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the sh”

“Dear Guiseppe and Jesse, We just returned from our most wonderful vacation to Italy and wanted to first thank you for putting together such a wonderful trip, and second to provide some feedback for the future. Hotels 1. Hotel Sovestro in San Gimignano was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made the first portion of our journey very stress free. They made us feel like we were p”

“I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti”

“I am a travel agent from Lebanon and have organized several group tours as well as individual tours of Italy with Italy Vacation Specialists. I highly recommend them as one of the very best tour operators in Italy to work with, given their professionalism and work ethic which I feel is second-to-none in the travel industry. All of the staff, the guides, the coaches and even the meals we enjoyed we”
