An Extended Journey of High-Rolling Havens and Ro

Rome ne se résume pas à son architecture ancienne. La Ville éternelle abrite un éventail apparemment infini de joyaux cachés. Les amateurs dart peuvent découvrir laristocratie de la mode, lart de la rue, les excursions en vespa sur la Voie Appienne et jeter des pièces de monnaie dans les fontaines. Vous pouvez également vous rendre sur rendez-vous à la chapelle Sixtine de Michel-Ange et dans les quartiers privés du pape au Vatican. Explorez les ruines historiques du Colisée, les églises du Caravage, la Place dEspagne et le Panthéon. Apprenez à faire des pâtes à litalienne, chassez les truffes, grignotez des glaces, sirotez un café et plongez dans une piscine vieille de 3 000 ans pour une expérience de bien-être. À Rome, la fusion de lancien et du nouveau permet de se faire plaisir.

Seductive Greek Sirens still sing from Sorrentos shores and lure us into her astonishing beauty of Vesuvian sites, Amalfi hikes and a wealth of pretty Positano pleasures. Wander maze-like Centro Storico laced with hidden gardens and historic churches then prepare your palate for old-school pizzerias and lemony gelato in picturesque Piazza Tasso. Peer down into the Valle dei Mulini or venture to Lattari Mountain trails and dig into Italy’s most famous sites: ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum. Hop a yacht across the Bay of Naples to chic Capri or round Sorenntina Penisola for ravishing Ravello’s terraced gardens. Between sips of luscious limoncello and a wealth of wonders, Sorrento smoulders with eternal dolce vita glamour.

Be drawn into a balmy blend of olive-strewn landscapes, starkly beautiful Greek temples, Byzantine mosaics, and ricotta-filled farm-to-table delights. Wander Palermos ficus-filled streets as you tour through the Florio family tale. Taste wine through a patchwork of fertile vineyards below rumbling giant Mount Etna and talented Teatro Greco, Sicilys most dolce vita hill town. Take in noble UNESCO heritage sites, tour leafy Villa Tasca, marvel medieval mosaic masterpieces at Monreale or Cefalù and continue the Greek theme to visit tumbled ruins and secluded temples. Welcome Baroque brilliance, Aztec chocolate, and modern-day charms in Sicilys honey-hued deep south towns. From Michelin-starred temple dining to Trapani beaches and fishermen mending nets outside hipster bars – such contrasts are at the soul of this irresistible island.

Beckon the buzz of a small UNESCO-listed island; proud of producing its own cheese, wine and rather distinguished gin. Sink into a lemon-scented laidback lifestyle that reflects elegant Georgian architecture, Spain’s oldest opera house, history, art and a monastery-based museum. Off glittering turquoise shores, visit the Royal Naval hospital, shop for world-renowned shoes, amble amongst butterflies up coastal paths and rest for tapas in harbour-side tavernas. Celebrated yet discreet – unhurried Menorca is the low-key location to go and not to be seen.

Leave craggy coastlines behind and venture to the heartland of the biggest Balearic. Where endless authentic charm, history and nature await. Celebrate at Spain’s oldest winery, shop chic Palma boutiques and marvel at blossoming UNESCO-limestone mountains aboard a vintage train. Experience a tranquil monastery, art at a historic hacienda and tons of protected wildlife. Delve into nature at reserves, feast on wood-fired paella at lively hangouts, pilgrimage to historic churches and tour old-world Mallorcan villages. And as for sapphire seas that frame spotless beaches – Mallorca is truly an immense Balearic beauty.

Le cœur culturel de la Catalogne Respirez le cœur culturel de la Catalogne, un mélange élégant d’énergie et de tradition intacte. Laissez-vous conter les origines de l’architecture captivante de Gaudi dans le labyrinthe enchanteur qu’est le quartier gothique. Savourez les saveurs des tapas fraîches et du cava frais sur les places, les terrasses tranquilles et les cafés convoités, ou glissez jusqu’à un club de plage étincelant pour vous détendre. Imaginez une visite sur le paisible Passeig de Gracia, où les bâtiments modernistes se fondent pour présenter des marques mondiales emblématiques. À la tombée de la nuit, préparez-vous à l’action urbaine et passez par les bars bohèmes animés pour faire la fête sur la Rambla. Si le style vous tient à cœur, cette ville colorée vous offrira de nombreuses occasions de faire la fête.

Lounging under a Provençal sun, Marseille is the oldest city in France yet seemingly grows younger each day. A multi-cultural melting pot with top-notch museums, galleries, smart squares and hip port-side bars, where you can tuck into a bowl of bouillabaisse, its famous fish stew. Meander past fountains built under the reign of Napoleon III and city hall erected during Louis XIV. Fall in love with the Calanques cliffs for a bit of French coastline drama, or wind through cypress trees and lavender fields to Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, famously once home to Van Gogh, Cézanne, and author Peter Mayle. Chase light, ripening Syrah grapes and drink in the nuances of terroir. From Marseille’s boisterous roots to its French coastline drama and nearby classic Provence, wander at will and fall in love with it all.

Yacht-studded seas and palm trees form Cannes’ iconic Riviera backdrop. Yet inside are a swish marina, perfumed forests, casinos, iconic boutiques, cinematic heritage, and supermodels. Stroll ancient narrow winding streets of the hilly Le Suquet and feel its medieval past, shop fashion labels on palm-flanked La Croisette, slide into sleek Michelin-starred restaurants, and lie low in plush beach clubs where glittering sea views take central stage. Peace seekers may ferry to leafy island of Saint-Honorat and the 500-year-old monastery. Take a spin along the Cote d’Azur to moneyed Monaco or glitzy St Tropez. Cannes has curves in all the right places – the oh so French social hub that defines seaside glamour.
