Luxury Vacations in Italy

A culinary hot spot and epicenter of history and art, Italy beckons you to discover the true meaning of la dolce vita. Experience the glories of Southern Italy on a panoramic journey that reveals this Mediterranean-flavored region’s distinctive food and culture as well as the slow pace of rural life, from Sicily’s ancient ruins to the colorful cliffsides of the Amalfi Coast.

There are islands whose very names conjure up images that set them apart: the colorful, fearless wildlife of the Galápagos, the enigmatic moai of Easter Island, the lively town squares and fiercely proud people of Sicily. Combine with a stop in tropical paradise, a visit to real-life Middle Earth, some of the best wildlife viewing on the planet and much more, and you have an extraordinary adventure around the world, a journey packed with authentic cultural discoveries, food and wine worthy of every epic setting, and the kind of behind-the-scenes access that brings you right into the heart of a place. Our private Boeing 757 takes you in style, a dedicated crew turning each flight into an event while your tour managers keep everything running without a hitch.

Immerse yourself in Italy’s sun-splashed Mediterranean vibe on a journey that also explores its nearby isles, each offering you its own take on la dolce vita. From Rome’s Renaissance art and classic cuisine to rural Puglia and the storied islands of Sardinia and Sicily, explore local cultures, wines and favorite dishes while easily accessing diverse locales by private jet.
