La Dolce Vita on the Amalfi Coast — May 2023
Discover Capri, the Coast and Beyond
THIS IS OUR “SELL OUT” TRIP!
We offer an insider view of the island of Capri and the Amalfi Coast like no other. In 2023, we again offer this luxurious holiday experience. Guests on Adagio’s Amalfi journey will sample pizza at its source as well as the local wines that accompany so perfectly the local fare. From our fabulous base in Sorrento, guests will explore the unforgettable mountainside towns of the Amalfi Coast and the excavations of Pompeii. We’ll view the famous coastline not only from the comfort of our little bus, but also from our privately-chartered boat. We’ll also have plenty of time to enjoy Capri’s many delights at our own pace; Capritown at night, when all but the locals have left, is a rarified experience! Read on….

Savoring Puglia – October 2023 – Barefoot Luxury
With a Visit to Matera: "City of Stones" and 2019 European Culture Capitol
Clearly, everything the Italophile craves is here in abundance: ancient towns with the tangible past right in your face; ornate churches dreamt up by Europe’s finest architects; the footprints of an endless procession of conquerors and cultures, stamped in stone, gold and marble; seas of olives; olive-green seas; and fish and veggies the envy of most other regions of Italy. Tired of hearing about Tuscany? Come take in the baroque splendor of Lecce, ‘Florence of the South’, and the many lesser (but no less remarkable) Pugliese towns. But it’s perhaps outside of its cities that Puglia shines brightest. For it’s in the countryside – the source of its food, wealth and culture — where you’ll find the region’s soul.

Let’s be honest….do you know where Calabria, Italy is located? There are many reasons that most of us will answer “no”. Adagio intends to put Calabria on your map.

Sicily Short Break: the Aeolian Islands in June 2025
By sea and by land
The Aeolian Islands are a volcanic archipelago located off the coast of northeastern Sicily. Said to be named after Aeolus, the mythical ruler of the winds, the dreamy Aeolian islands are one of southern Italy’s greatest natural and cultural treasures. The group includes seven islands – each one with its own identity. We’ll travel around a few of the most beautiful by catamaran, and spend two nights on Salina. The verdant valleys and charming towns of Salina have earned it the reputation of being the prettiest of the Aeolians. We’ll enjoy some of its local products, like freshly grown capers and Malvasia dessert wine, complete with a delicious saline note.
Molise: Visit Italy’s tiny and most curious region in September 2025
Molise: where the people are the land
THIS TRIP IS NEARLY SOLD OUT.
Who’s even heard of Italy’s Molise region? One writer for the cultural magazine Italy Segreta states: “I’ve heard Molise compared to The Chronicles of Narnia: step foot into the region, and you’ve entered a land all its own. And then there is the creativity of Italians that shines just like their newest word ‘Molisn’t.’”
Molise has its share of Romanesque churches, hill towns, castles, ancient ruins and crystal clear water. This week you’ll be based right by that water in the medieval town of Termoli; and you’ll enjoy all of the above attractions in a slow, adagio way. Note that food and wine are strengths here. But in the end, the Molise experience is about the art of living. We work hard to offer you a top notch holiday. Know that you are investing in our quarter century+ of building long-term relationships, handpicked properties and carefully crafted itineraries. You belong here.
Splendors of Sicily – Fall 2025
A Tantalizing Cultural Mosaic
The allure of Sicily lies in its contrasts. Palermo, cradle of the Mediterranean and “a city of extremes, a mixture of panache and poverty.” Along our west to east route we visit Agrigento’s magical Greek temples; top wineries; meals that are tantalizing cultural mosaics. Majestic Mt. Etna and its surrounding cities, once the center of Magna Graecia, mark the end of our 10-day adventure.
