Italy & Paris
The Italian la dolce vita is difficult to describe. It is something that truly needs to be experienced first-hand. It is found in the ambient sounds of Rome's cobblestone streets, in the rows of vines of Tuscany's tranquil vineyards, reflecting in the immaculate and azure Mediterranean waters, and in the daily interactions with Italy's jovial citizens. The unbridled romanticism of a journey through Italy paired with a few nights in Paris will leave you with memories lasting a lifetime.

While most of Italy is about sightseeing, there’s nothing to visit per se on the Amalfi Coast. Instead of lavish churches and ancient monuments, the rugged coastline is the sight, best enjoyed from a hilltop al fresco restaurant, the bow of a yacht, or inside your car while navigating one of the world’s most scenic drives. Amalfi is a luxurious destination with a humble past, where glitzy villas still intermingle with sleepy fishing villages and bucolic lemon orchards.
Sitting marvelously atop the cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea is Hotel Le Agavi. This chic property evokes feelings of the aquatic scenset below with its blue, white, and gold color palette. Hotel Le Agavi's lovely pool and restaurant terraces offer romantic vantage points to catch the rising and setting sun over the Amalfi Coast.

Take it easy on your last full day on the Amalfi Coast. We recommend enjoying a beach club before getting one last romantic dinner in town.
The Remmese Beach House is available for hotel guests to use: an exclusive descent down to the sea by private elevator, where the coast is even more colorful, the views and atmosphere even more special. Water of a thousand reflections, from green to blue to deep blue. Listen carefully: the waves produce a different sound to the cliffs, the sea merges with the green of the carob trees, the rocks shines with the colors of the bougainvillea.
Experience the most beautiful sea, spread out on your lounger or sitting below the sun umbrella reserved just for you. There’s also a beach towel for your use. Our exclusive sundeck on a wooden platform is the ideal place to relax. Far from everyone and everything. Discover the luxury of a swim in hidden coves, accessible only by our guests.

It’s easy to feel inspired while climbing the Eiffel Tower or wandering the Louvre, but the city’s true soul resides in its quotidian pleasures: a flaky croissant from the corner patisserie, discovering a quiet cobblestone street, drinking an apéritif along the Seine. Perhaps you’ll find your own muse in the City of Lights.
