Puglia's Valle d'Itria
A masseria for the week, trulli towns at dusk, and coves reached by boat rather than car park.
Italy.
A masseria for the group, a chef on call, and the coast roads worth the drive.

Who it suits
FamilyCoupleGroupFriendsCorporateBalanced pace
Italy is easy to visit and hard to do well. The difference is who opens the door: the vintner who pours from the barrel, the fisherman who takes you out at five, the restaurant that keeps its terrace table.
We plan Italy villa-first — one great house per region, a car, and a short list of things worth leaving it for.
Highlights
Three things you'd remember.
Tuscan back roads
Cellar tastings with growers who don't take walk-ins, and a truffle morning in November.
Amalfi without the crush
Shoulder-season dates, a private boat and a driver who knows the timing of every hairpin.
A shape to start from
The itinerary, before we change it for you.
Every trip we send is rewritten at least once. Treat this as a rhythm rather than a route — then tell your specialist what to cut, slow down or add.
- Days 1–2
Rome
Two nights, a dawn Vatican entry, and a food walk in Testaccio to reset the palate.
- Days 3–6
Puglia
Masseria with pool and chef; Ostuni market, Lecce's baroque, and a boat day off Polignano.
- Days 7–9
Amalfi coast
Private transfer over the mountains, a boat to Capri's quiet side, a lemon-grove lunch.
- Days 10–12
Tuscany or Florence
Either a villa in Chianti with tastings, or a city apartment with the Uffizi before opening.
- Days 13–14
Home
Late lunch, evening flight, and a case of the wine you liked shipped to your door.

Italy, in frames
Italy questions
Asked often.
For four or more travellers, a villa is usually better value and always better rhythm. We staff it so nobody cooks unless they want to.
Yes — appointments, cover letters, itinerary proof and insurance, all handled by our documentation desk.
You might also consider
Bali & Indonesia
Bali’s temple towns and coastal villas pair well with Komodo’s dry hills, coral reefs and carefully timed days at sea.
Bhutan
Monastery mornings, empty trails and a country that limits its own visitors. Go now, go slowly.
Botswana
Follow Botswana’s waterways from the Okavango Delta to the Chobe River, with time to watch rather than chase wildlife.
