Quintessential Italy's trips this year explore the beauty of Northern
Italy,
from the romantic Lake region to the regal magnificence of Venice. Each
location is your home base for a week spent discovering the best places,
food, shopping and people each region offers.
Step back in time on a week-long journey into the world of Venetian nobles
-
a world of fine food and wine, villas and palazzos, and evenings spent in
a
private castle outside Venice - as guests of Count Giordano Emo Capodilista.
The castle is ideal for an intimate and one-of-a-kind experience:
never opened
to the public before, it is the home of Count Giordano. All rooms are filled
with
family antiques and portraits.
Shop to your heart's content at Italy's best designer outlets and factories.
Combine the best bargain-hunting for designer clothes, leather, accessories,
silk
and jewelry with a vacation discovering the splendors of northern Italy:
an evening at La Scala opera house in Milan, a tour of the magnificent castles
of Aosta and an excursion of Lake Como villas and gardens by private boat.
A dream trip for shoppers who want the unique opportunity to visit
Italy's
best outlets and factories, but also want to experience the beauty and charm
of
Northern Italy.
Enjoy the rolling hills of the Valpolicella wine region, near enchanting
Lake Garda
as guest of Count Serego-Alighieri, descendant of the immortal poet Dante.
Food and wine are the focus this week, while we explore the beautiful villas
and
cities of the Veneto region.
Ideal for food and wine enthusiasts and those who want an exclusive
and
off-the-beaten-path vacation. The hunting lodge of the estate has been renovated
into beautiful suites and rooms.
