What a wonderful view!
Meravigliosa: meh-rah-vee-LYOH-sah. The gli sound is like 'ly' in 'million'.
Use at any scenic viewpoint, summit, or panoramic spot. It's a natural conversation starter with other hikers and a great way to bond over shared appreciation.
Che + noun/adjective is an exclamation structure meaning 'What a...!'. Vista means view, and meravigliosa means wonderful or marvellous. This simple phrase will earn you smiles from any Italian.
Che panorama incredibile!
What an incredible panorama!
Panorama is the same in Italian — stress on the last syllable.
Non ho mai visto niente di così bello.
I've never seen anything so beautiful.
More emphatic, use for truly exceptional moments.
Si vede benissimo oggi!
Visibility is excellent today!
Comment on clear weather conditions.
Italians have a word, belvedere, specifically for a viewpoint or scenic overlook — it literally means 'beautiful sight'. Many Italian hilltop villages have a dedicated Belvedere spot that locals consider a point of civic pride.
