Catered Journeys for Curious Souls

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 that includes genuine encounters with the locals. Know that you are investing in our quarter century+ of building long-term relationships, handpicked properties and carefully crafted itineraries. You belong here.

While many travelers rush to the glittering coastlines of Amalfi or the iconic streets of Florence, our short break in the southern Marche region quietly rewards those who stray from the well-trodden paths. Discover Ascoli Piceno, the region’s hippest town. We’ll also visit smaller hill towns with stunning panoramic views … and the narrowest alley in Italy; a woman-run winery that has dedicated its efforts to saving a nearly extinct grape; and Offida, where making bobbin lace is still a thing and gourmet food is served in a former stable.

We invite you to savor life as the locals do in Le Marche, one delightful moment at a time.

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. And we’ll be doing that in the company of women only in fall 2027.

The short answer: Calabria is one of Italy’s 20 regions; the country looks like a boot and Calabria is its toe. This region’s stunning coastlines stretch between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas in Italy’s southernmost reaches. Pristine beaches, rugged mountains, and charming villages create a diverse and captivating landscape. Calabria offers a slow journey into an Italy deeply rooted in culture and natural beauty. Known for its rich history with strong influences from Greece and Albania, Calabria features ancient ruins, medieval castles, and historic towns like Reggio Calabria and Tropea.

Adagio is collaborating for this journey with our longtime friends from fellow travel designers Escape Artists; we are limiting each agency to 5 women, for a total of 10 guests.
