LAKE REGIONS
Lake Como
|
 |
Fly to Milan and spend two nights in town (the Bulgari or the Mandarin Oriental are great options), exploring the Duomo,the city's fashion, and the requisite risotto. Take the 1 hour train or drive to dazzling Lake Como. This narrow, thirty mile long lake is the reason to visit, with its vintage motor boats roaming the area. Play tennis on the clay courts, bicycle through town, and savor the cypress trees and scents of jasmine in the air. READ MORE >

COASTAL ITALY
Portofino
|
 |
If you're eager to see Tuscany, but also wish to experience the Italian coast, add Portofino to your list. It's easy to spend days walking the coast (including walking tours), but most enjoy days out on the water. Indulge in a day trip on a vintage boat, taking dips in the sea in between sips of white wine. Restaurants here specialize in coastal cuisine, like fritto misto and sea bream. SEE MORE >

SOUTHERN TUSCANY
Wine Regions
|
 |
For those who love road trips, quiet exploration, and stumbling upon treasures, the inland area of Tuscany is a dream. Because villas here are often set amongst vast acres of land, they have extraordinary privacy. Start your trip in Florence and head south, or fly to Rome and drive North - no matter which route you take, you'll find small restaurants with local delicacies and wine tastings. SEE MORE >
