Italy has been voted best country for a holiday according to the latest prestigious Conde Nast Readers' Travel Awards 2012.

Why? Because it has the best climate of any country in the world, the finest restaurants and the friendliest people. Oh, and it also gets top marks for culture.

Our fave bits are the Amalfi coast (above) and glorious Tuscany... check out these pics and see why!
