Molise — Italy’s Adriatic Surprise

Molise: where the people are the land

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 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.

This trip to Northern Italy exceeded our already high expectations. We loved the four locations we visited: Venice, Vicenza, Lake Como, and Milan. We enjoyed the variety of walking (museums, churches, Villas and neighborhoods), e-bike, and water taxi tours you suggested and arranged, which were perfect for relatively fit and ambulatory senior citizens like ourselves. Some of our best meals ever! All of these experiences combined gave us a great opportunity not only to get to know but to appreciate the Veneto and Lombardy regions of Italy.

We recently returned from the wonderful bike ride in Puglia. Some of our group did the full 58 km and it was a beautiful ride! Sylvia and John Paul were absolutely wonderful. Claudia, I can’t thank you enough for curating and producing such an amazing series of adventures for us. Any one of these days would have been the highlight of a great vacation. To put them together in one trip made for an unbelievable and unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.

You have put your heart and soul into planning this trip for us Claudia, and we can’t express in words how grateful we are and how special you are.

In our experience, your services are an excellent value and made our vacation a trip of a lifetime and very memorable. I was involved in planning the trip with you and so I knew it was going to be incredible. Our adult children said it was by far one of the best vacations we have ever taken as a family. The connections you have and the knowledge you shared with us made it extra special.
