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.

A Taste of Le Marche
South of Venice, north of Abruzzo
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.
