Wow! What an introduction to the beautiful city of Barcelona! Our gorgeous guide Conchi took us to Mont Juic to see the 1992 Olympic venues that transformed the city, then a walking tour through the Gothic quarter and then culminated with a driving tour and a “jump the line visit” to the see Gaudi’s spectacular Sagrada Familia. An absolute highlight.

A Taste of Tuscany - a gay luxury experience!

Join us this July and you’ll visit stunning San Gimignano. This medieval masterpiece is located about an hour south of Florence and was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1990. During the Middle Ages, its location in Val d’Elsa, 56 km south of the Tuscan capital, provided an important rest stop for pilgrims traveling to or from Rome on the Via Francigena.

San Gimignano is famous today for its fortified tower houses, a skyline that has become famous all over the world. It truly is breathtaking.

We’ll explore the town together with one of the locals who’ll share her cities secrets with us. This is just one example of the included excursions we have curated especially for you.

Check out our website for all the details but be quick as we only have four rooms left in our private castle!

And now we resume our regular programming… Day 8 (Part One): Italian Cooking Class! Today we all enrolled in Chef Roberto’s and Chef Umberto’s cooking school. They are the two head chef’s from Le Pietre Vive - one of Siena’s best restaurants. They taught us the tricks of the trade and shared with us Nonna’s secret recipes which we then recreated and sat down, Italian family style, and ate! It was such an awesome experience and we can’t wait to get home and recreate them!

Day Three (Part Three): By the end of the night Louisa had us all on our feet dancing the night away - her voice was SENSATIONAL! We even got the gorgeous Nonna out from the kitchen for a few appreciative spins on the floor - her food was incredible (I can still taste her Lasagna). We then took the party back up to the pool for a few final cocktails and some boogieing! Buona notte! 🇮🇹🪩🕺🏼💃🏻🏳️‍🌈 #hermesholidays #hhtot24 #tuscany #dancing #welcome #party #italy #pride #lgbttour @castellodelleserre
