There’s so much more to Italy than the tourist hotspots. I love sending my clients to the hidden corners of Piedmont for bold Barolo wines, guiding them to Matera’s winding streets, or arranging a stay along Puglia’s stunning beaches.

Italy’s lesser-known regions hold just as much magic as its famous cities—sometimes even more. Let’s plan your getaway and show you a side of Italy that feels refreshingly authentic.

Belmond's classic river cruises are one of the best ways to explore Europe—here's why I love them:

Small Ships, VIP Experience: Belmond's ships are designed to make you feel like a VIP from the moment you step on board. With fewer guests, you'll enjoy spacious cabins and exclusive access to areas larger ships can't reach.

Unique Itineraries & Private Excursions: Belmond's cruises feature curated itineraries that take you beyond the standard tourist spots: private vineyard tours in Burgundy to exclusive guided walks through medieval Austrian towns.

Gourmet Dining: Dine on regional specialties as you sail through some of Europe's most culinary-rich areas. Enjoy French cuisine on the Rhône, local wines in Tuscany, or discover the regional dishes of Central Europe along the Danube—all with impeccable service.

There's something magical about a resort that knows exactly where to place itself. Amanera resort sits 60 feet above Playa Grande, where just 25 casitas enjoy what might be the Caribbean's most spectacular address.

This Dominican Republic property spans 2,000 acres and features a stunning golf course – reimagined by Rees Jones from his father's original design, with more coastal holes than any course in the Western Hemisphere.

The Bay View Pool Casitas is my favorite spot to wake up (even if you sleep through sunrise - no judgment). For pure bliss, head to the spa for their signature Taíno-inspired treatments. A favorite evening ritual? Ordering a hand-rolled cigar and local rum to your private clifftop dinner.

When you think of Tuscany, wine and pasta probably come to mind first. But here's a secret: it's also one of Europe's best wellness destinations!

The region is dotted with amazing natural hot springs where you can soak in healing, mineral-rich waters. Relax with spa treatments inspired by local herbs and flowers, start your mornings with yoga under olive trees, or take peaceful walks through Chianti's vineyards that feel more like exploring than exercise. Plus, you can join cooking classes to learn all about making healthy (and delicious) Tuscan dishes.

Get in touch to explore all that Tuscany has to offer or discover other trending wellness destinations for 2025!

Travel is changing in exciting ways for 2025. I’m seeing smarter booking systems, personalized wellness-focused stays, and more opportunities to connect deeply with local cultures.

But before you pack those bags, let's talk about some important travel updates and reminders. Have you checked your passport expiration date lately? And if you're heading to the UK, you'll need to apply for their Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before your trip.
