While the situation in Italy is still difficult, we’re hoping to inspire some daydreaming and planning for the year to come with our upcoming blog posts. We have hope that one day soon we’ll be able to enjoy the beauty of travel without thinking twice. Until then we’ll keep showcasing the treasures that the country has to offer.
We’ve handpicked five luxury experiences in Italy so that when you’re thinking about packing your bags for your next holiday, you’ll know exactly where to go to be pampered. From Lake Como to Puglia, we’ve rounded up luxury Italian experiences that you won’t easily forget.
Explore Lake Como Aboard a Vintage Riva Yacht
Nothing says luxury like a trip across the iconic Lake Como aboard an exquisite vintage Riva yacht. The design of the Riva yacht dates back to 1771 when the Riva family were making boats by hand in Laglio. The craftsmanship and classic feel of these boats is an example of the rich tradition that makes the region so special. There’s no better way to spend the day than exploring lakeside towns like Bellagio and Menaggio, sipping on prosecco and enjoying the majesty of the surrounding mountain ranges.
Visit the Pearl of the Adriatic Coast in Puglia
The quieter option for a seaside escape, the beaches of Puglia are the perfect place to put your feet up and relax. The region of Puglia is known for its mix of old world charm and contemporary flair. Stroll through sunny town squares and some of the oldest olive groves in Italy while you indulge in homemade gelato. While Polignano a Mare is one of the more popular towns in the area, we recommend a visit for its small port and charming architecture. The region boasts a diverse range of accommodation options so you can take your pick of beach front villas, eco-friendly resorts or sumptuous boutique hotels.

The magnificent ski resort Madonna di Campiglio is northern Italy at its finest.

Whether you take on the slopes, opt for a walk along the mountain trails or enjoy the serenity of the mirror-like lakes, you can’t imagine a more picturesque setting to let the worries of the world wash away. What’s more, Madonna di Campiglio is home to the exquisite Lefay Resort and Spa, which, if you ask us, is the pinnacle of Italian luxury.
Sample Modena’s World Famous Parmigiano and Balsamic Vinegar
There’s a reason Italy is the culinary capital of the world.
