Romantic Italy: Dolomites, Venice, Capri & Amalfi Coast
Thanks to decades of cinema, centuries of art, and millennia of history, everyone is more or less familiar with the fantasy of Italy. You think you know Italian food and Roman landmarks, but not until you arrive in the country do you realize that everything you thought you knew is really just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Every region—every town even—has a unique personality so no matter how many times you visit Italy, you’re always left craving more.
Embark on a breathtaking 13-day journey through the captivating landscapes of Italy. Begin by immersing yourself in the majestic Dolomites, where towering peaks and alpine meadows invite exploration and adventure. Then, venture to the enchanting city of Venice, where gondolas glide through the intricate canals, and centuries-old architecture mesmerizes at every turn. Next, bask in the sun-drenched beauty of Capri, a Mediterranean paradise known for its azure waters and glamorous lifestyle. Finally, experience the dramatic cliffs and vibrant coastal towns of the Amalfi Coast, where picturesque villages like Positano and Ravello offer a taste of la dolce vita. This unforgettable itinerary blends nature, culture, and seaside charm, ensuring an unforgettable Italian escapade.

The Dolomites feel like a world apart, where the architecture skews Bavarian and you’re more likely to hear a guten Tag instead of buongiorno. These jagged mountains are a base for travelers seeking both thrills and peace. Spend one day mountaineering or skiing and the next bathing in the healing waters of natural hot springs. As you’re enjoying a plate of the fusion cuisine, know that all of the ingredients were likely gathered within walking distance of your table.

Visiting Capri is like stepping into a pop art painting, thanks to splashes of color from the iridescent blue in underwater caverns, the juicy red and green of a Caprese salad, or the almost neon yellow of an after-dinner limoncello. Once the daytrippers head back to the mainland in the early evening, this teeming island becomes surprisingly intimate, just in time for a glowing Aperol spritz to sip on while watching the sun set over the horizon.
Why we love it for you? Perched atop the scenic island of Capri, La Palma Hotel stands as a beacon of refined luxury and Mediterranean beauty. With its striking architecture and panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this exclusive retreat effortlessly captures the essence of the Italian Riviera.

Why we love it for you? If a 17th-century convent doesn’t sound glamorous, just a few minutes at Monastero Santa Rosa is enough to prove otherwise. A no-expense-spared remodel turned it into one of the most jaw-dropping hotels on the Amalfi Coast without betraying its historical charm, largely thanks to engineering miracles worthy of canonization. There’s nothing gaudy about the rooms, just as when nuns lived in them, which lets the vistas of tiered gardens, cliffside towns, and the azure sea triumph.
