Why choose… for ‘your day’
Florence
Morning light hits the Duomo, narrow streets lined with artisan workshops lead to hidden courtyards, while the scent of leather and espresso lingers. Get lost in alleyways, grab a panino at a tiny counter, and climb to Piazzale Michelangelo for sunset. At dusk, the Ponte Vecchio glows with jewelers’ lights. It’s like walking through a living museum a place where the Medici’s ghosts might still wander.
Tuscany
Rolling vine-striped hills, cypress trees lining dirt roads. Eat pici pasta in a family-run trattoria, drink a glass of Chianti, watch farmers harvest olives, and drive through endless vineyards. Slow. Quiet. Feels like home even if you’ve never been.
Umbria
Think Tuscany’s quieter cousin. Stone villages (the St. Francis’ Assisi), winding country roads, and oak forests smelling of sun-warmed bark. Lunch is crusty bread, olive oil, and a hunk of cheese. Peace hits you here.
Venice
Really quiet at dawn just water lapping against bridges. Get hopelessly lost in alleys and calli, snack on fried seafood (cicchetti), and sip wine in a tucked-away bacaro. By noon, it’s crowded, but early? Magic. As is the great carnival of masks and laughter.
Puglia (Apulia)
Whitewashed trulli (weird cone houses), olive groves, and flat, hot landscapes. Beaches are rocky but stunningly blue. Dinner? Orecchiette pasta, bitter greens, and the creamiest burrata. Simple and real.
Lake Como
Ferries chug past elegant villas and luxury gardens. Stroll Bellagio’s steep lanes, sip an Aperol Spritz by the water, and watch mountains turn pink at dusk. Feels fancy but oddly peaceful.
Every place tells a story
