Italy
Few destinations reward indulgence quite like Italy, where extraordinary hotels, centuries of art and some of the world’s most celebrated food and wine are woven into everyday life. In Rome, private after-hours tours can reveal ancient landmarks without the daytime crowds, while grand hotels, rooftop aperitivos and elegant restaurants provide a suitably luxurious counterpoint to days spent among ruins and Renaissance masterpieces.Head north to Florence and Tuscany, where the pace slows considerably. Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and remains filled with works by Michelangelo, Botticelli and other masters, while the countryside beyond offers vineyard estates, medieval hill towns and beautifully restored villas. A private wine tasting in Chianti, truffle hunting near San Miniato, or a leisurely drive through the Val d’Orcia turns sightseeing into something much more personal.
For pure glamour, Italy’s lakes and coastlines are difficult to rival. Lake Como has attracted aristocrats and sophisticated travelers for generations, with historic villas and gardens lining its shores. Farther south, the Amalfi Coast delivers cliffside hotels, private boats and long lunches overlooking the Mediterranean, while Capri adds hidden coves, designer boutiques and an unmistakable sense of occasion.
The secret to traveling Italy well is resisting the temptation to see everything. Choose a few places, arrange the experiences that matter most, and leave room for an unplanned afternoon—the long lunch, tiny wine bar or quiet piazza you never intended to find often becomes the most memorable luxury of all.
