If you’ve got a cache of vacation days with no plans on how to use them, an Italian vacation is shockingly affordable right now.
Great Value Vacations (in partnership with Travelzoo) is currently offering 5 night packages from a ton of US airports for about $1,000 per person, or 7 nights for around $1200 (plus an extra $100 off per person with promo code LOVETOGO). Every package includes airfare into Rome and out of Naples, hotel nights in Rome and Positano (pictured), daily breakfast, a rental car, and more, so you can dig in and explore the cities, or use them as home bases, and take day trips all around the Amalfi coast.
Prices vary by date and departure airport, and dates are available through September, but the best deals all seem to be concentrated in early March, so if you have the flexibility to take a quick trip, I can’t think of a better way to blow your tax refund.
