Italy Vacation Rentals - South
Southern Italy, also called the Mezzogiorno, is the less-prosperous part of Italy - less populated and off the beaten tourist track. In recent years Puglia (sometimes called Apulia in English) has become a popular tourist destination with its beautiful beaches, historic towns, great food and milder weather. (The Abruzzo, Campania and Sicily are also part of southern Italy but have their own sections.) Regions - Molise, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria
