Italy
fine wine, art, and culture
Steeped in history and brimming with exquisite art, architecture and fashion, Italy has one of the most fascinating and preserved cultures in the world. Majestic mountains, rolling hills, and seaside wonders surround world-renown cities and undiscovered, authentic small towns influenced by families, traditions, and of course, food.
A Few Places You’ll Love
Amalfi Coast
This paradise is best described in three words: ‘La Dolce Vita’. The Amalfi Coast conjures up images of colorful, seaside living – lemon trees resting high above beautiful villages built into the rising walls of a rocky coast; small artisan shops filled with unique goods; al fresco dining overlooking the azure blue Mediterranean; and sipping Negroni cocktails poolside at any one of the luxurious resorts or private villas.
Noteable Attractions:
Pompeii +
An extraordinary society frozen in time under the ashes and shadows of Mount Vesuvius.
Naples +
Behind a gritty exterior lies a proud and loving community with marvelous architecture and the world’s best pizza.
Sorrento +
On your way from Naples to the Amalfi Coast, you’ll see Sorrento and get a glimpse of what’s in store.
Positano +
Whether it’s because of the food, vistas, people, or the simple elegance, Positano is one of the most romantic places you’ll ever visit.
Ravello +
Ravello is arguably the most scenic and peaceful town along the coast, resting high above the bustling city of Amalfi. A trip to one isn’t complete without the other.
The Islands+
Capri is like Rodeo Drive set on an island off the Amalfi Coast, and its neighbor, Ischia, is where the local ‘Beverly Hill’ types go to avoid the crowds and relax in the island’s natural thermal gardens. Both are spectacular!
Rome
All roads lead to Rome – the ‘Eternal City’. A wonderfully modern city sprinkled with remnants of the Roman Empire, Rome plays host to the Italian Parliament, the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and Vatican City. Everywhere you turn, the sweet sounds of music and the intoxicating aromas of Italian cuisine fill the streets. Walkable, friendly, brimming with secrets, and as luxurious and delicious as you’d like it to be, Rome is a must-see for any traveler, and if it’s not on your bucket list, it’s time to reconsider.
Noteable Attractions:
The Vatican +
city-state surrounded by Rome and home to the Pope, along with a trove of iconic art and architecture, including the famed Sistine Chapel.
Roman Ruins +
Strewn about the city are 40+ iconic ruins, most notably the Colosseum, Forum of Caesar, and Pantheon, marking the epicenter of the Roman Empire.
Via del Corso +
Shopping galleries, restaurants, hotels, and gelato shops line this main street in Rome’s historical center, steering crowds into the small adjacent alleys which lead to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and other Roman treasures.
Tuscany
Imagine yourself in the epicenter of the Renaissance – a time of cultural, artistic, political, and economic rebirth in Europe. That’s Florence, both then and now. Tuscany ripples from this city of curiosity and wonder, bringing you to colorful destinations like Pisa, Siena, Lucca, San Gimignano (and every little town in between), each with its own rich history, flavors, and traditions. The western coastline and crossing mountain chains produce the perfect climate under the Tuscan sun, giving us endless hills of sunflowers and some of the world’s greatest wines.
Noteable Attractions:
Florence +
Home to the Statue of David, the Uffizi Gallery, the Ponte Vecchio and a thousand stories, this stunning city still plays a major role in influencing art, culture and politics.
Tuscan Hills +
Just beyond eclectic cities like Siena, Pisa, and Lucca are some of the most beautiful rolling hills and fertile vineyards in the world.
Beaches +
To the south of Italy’s famed Cinque Terre you’ll find marvelous seaside cities like Viareggio, known for its wonderful food and spectacular Carnival.
