It was a thrilling day. Lots of moving parts and pieces brought together perfectly by love. Happy to have been a part of planning it.

This couple transformed a famous mansion—which served as the set of the 1974 rendition of The Great Gatsby—into a tropical oasis for their New England wedding.

Abruzzo overlooked? Not by us. We've been cooking and sipping and basking in Abruzzo's charm since 2012. You should, too.

Hemmed in by mountains, the region and its curious traditions have flourished in isolation, resulting in a simplicity both rustic and refined.

Who will save these Italian towns? YOU! By seeking them out when you travel. That's MorsoSoggiorno's mission and you can live it. We've already been to a few of these unique destinations. And they didn't disappoint.

Near-empty villages try to hold on to an endangered way of life — and some of the country’s most important artisanal traditions.

The stuff of my pipe dreams. If this incredible property were a small hotel, it would figure prominently on MorsoSoggiorno's bucket list. Carefully curated, unique, and far from the madding crowds.

When his Rome apartment grew too small for his collections, an American curator found a historic home — and layers of lost history.

Nice to see natural wines getting the attention they deserve. Our trips visit many natural and biodynamic wineries. Worth seeking out for the many rewards they offer. Yum.

They’re rowdy, unfiltered and extremely unpredictable. Be prepared to have your mind blown.

As a kid, I remember Christo wrapping the islands of Biscayne Bay in Miami. In a similar spirit, he allows visitors to walk on water on Lake Iseo, Italy, this Summer.

The artist Christo inaugurated his first outdoor installation in over a decade, also the first since the death of his partner Jeanne-Claude in 2009.

Tomorrow: Spain with a fabulous group. On our agenda: Mugaritz in the Basque province. Found out today that Eater voted it the 7th best restaurant in the world. Can't wait. ¡Olé!

Suffering from wanderlust? We have the cure for what ails you: travel to stimulate your senses and soothe your soul. The rolling hills of Barolo country, the Baroque splendor of Turin ("the Paris of Italy"), and the pristine beauty of Lake Como in October, 2016. The hot sights, sounds and smells of…

Ah, the wine experiences at Salone del Gusto. Too fabulous to explain, let alone remember. Come, raise a glass with the pros at Morsosoggiorno.com this September in beautiful Turin..

Abruzzo. Our first destination. Rugged and beautiful, full of strong women with incredible stories to tell.

La sposa del mare. Così è soprannominata Anna Maria Verzino, pescatrice di Casalbordino Lido (Chieti) che quest’anno ha compiuto 80 anni.

Want to live past 100, and do it in style? Apparently, living la dolce vita is the key. Let's go to Italy and see for ourselves.

A report published on Tuesday revealed the number of centenarians in Italy has tripled over the last 15 years.

Lots of these places on my trips. Just sayin'. We don't bill ourselves as off the beaten path for nothing. Join us one day soon.

Condé Nast Traveler just named the top 6 places where your dollar goes furthest. #1 on the list? Our June destination, Spain.

The euro and U.S. dollar are neck and neck for once—and that's not the only place where a dollar will go far these days. Here are six places around the world you should visit right now, while our fickle global economy is on your side.

From travel guru Wendy Perrin, a reasonable assessment of how to keep your perspective while traveling in very scary times.

The recent terrorist attacks in Brussels underscore that we’re living in a world where anything can happen at any time. But the answer is not to stay home.

Chefs, camaraderie and cuisine. Is there anything I love more?

My guests on the June Morso Soggiorno adventure to Madrid and Basque Country will get to sample, first-hand, the brilliance of Basque Cuisine at Mugaritz. If it's anything like our over-the-top experience at Akelare last July, they'll be blown away.

A region of tight-knit traditions with a passion for fine ingredients stands apart as an incubator of quality chefs and innovation.

Always dreaming of my next trip......

Sambawan is one of the best kept secrets of the Philippines. Breathtaking sunsets and a magnificent underwater world make this a fabulous destination for snorkeling and diving – and one of nature’s true masterpieces.

It's always good to know where to find the world's most fashionable men (at least the ones who don't live at my house). Great tips for dining and larking about in Florence as well. Makes me wish I were there to rub the shiny bronze nose of Il Porcellino at the Mercato Nuovo.

Twice a year, the Pitti Uomo menswear show—and a gang of preening global influencers— transform Florence into an all-city runway for classic gentlemen’s style.

A funky little video of the extremely fabulous MorsoSoggiorno destination, Castello di Guarene, promoting, of all things, a Japanese wedding reality series. Go figure. Still, the location is fabulous, so turn the volume down and feast your eyes.

Part of the amazing wellness spa services at Castello di Guarene, our luxe accommodations in Roero during the Salone del Gusto and Piedmont tour in September, 2016. Just as magical in person. Come see for yourself!

Oggi è proprio un giorno da centro benessere! :)
