Six regions

Six regions, each a different Italy

  1. Tuscany

    Villas, wine and food within a tight radius. The most set-up for a slow week.

  2. Umbria

    Quieter than Tuscany and cheaper. The hill towns fill an easy week.

  3. Puglia

    A masseria in the Salento: trulli, olive groves, two coastlines.

  4. Sicily

    Greek temples, baroque towns and the best street food in Italy.

  5. Marche

    The undiscovered Adriatic, and the least crowded of the six.

  6. Sardinia

    Turquoise coves and a wild granite interior.
