These past 36 months, I visited so many amazing places; I’d like to share with you. Most are best to visit in fall, winter and springtime. Leave summer to travelers with no other choices – and in return, you benefit! You will get a slower pace, delicious slow food, beautiful seasonal color, charming hotels with attentive staff , many with luxurious spas, some even boast a wine estate, yet all very special.

Just a few of my visits - Rome, Venice, Verona, Cortona d’ Ampezzo, the Dolomites , Vicenza, Palladian Villas of the Veneto, Lugano, Stressa, Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Piedmont wine region , Val d’ Aosta region , Alba, Turino, Portofino, Camogli, Isle of Elba, Corsica, Nice, Monte Carlo, Cannes . Eze, Juan d’ Pain, Grasse, and Villa Sur Mer, big and small , all special, Italian and French hotels , the best professional guides , discovering local shops in each of these cities, including the Outlet in Seravalle. My Malo handbag is a dream (a real find).

Some of the highlights were the views of the Matterhorn from the Hotel Hermitage in Gran Paradiso National Park in the Vald’Aosta region of the Italian Alps, an Epicurean Culinary tour of Cuneo, the local market and food shops included, a visit with their most famous chef in the Lovera Palace, sipping in wine cellar dating back to Roman times, and making baby artichokes sauce with fresh pasta. A private visit to a historic Jewish Synagogue, site where many patriots – in the French and Italian résistance saved thousands of people crossing the Alps. The fabulously trendy, hip Albergo l”Ostelliere with a guided tour of the wine cellars of Villa Sparina, historic center of Casale Monferrato and Casale’s Synagogue , the Relais San Maurizio, the monastery built by Franciscan monks to grow the Lord’s vines is today a garden of Eden. Set in the little village of Langhe, near Alba renowned for its white truffles. The property boasts a ‘vinotherapy’ Caudalie (all treatments use products made from wine) a visit to a typical chocolate factory at Easter (gigantic eggs) and a bling full gold showroom in Velenza! I love the ancient city of Alba. It is truffle central every fall in Piemonte. Experience two independent excursions – Regional Cuisine of Piemonte and Discover Wines and
Castles of Piemonte. The essence and flavor are bellissimo!

I will personally select the best 5* hotels at 4* prices for you.
