Experience the elegance of the Nani Bernardo Palace, designed by Architect Vittoria in 1550. Marvel at its harmonious aspect, enriched by a valuable hidden Venetian garden. Should Nani Bernardo be unavailable, the alternative stop is Ca' Rezzonico Palace, another marvel of Venetian architecture - or a similar equally stunning palace, specially selected by Lucia.

Designed by Architect Vittoria, on commission from the Bernardo family, the Palace was built in 1550. 
Around 200 years ago, the current owner's ancestors added a new Italian garden to the palace, demolishing a series of houses on the side closest to the Grand Canal in the process and gave the Palazzo Nani Bernardo an entirely new, and harmonious aspect that is still evident today.

Another element is the really valuable back garden, very nice and extraordinarily extended in length, made during the eighteenth century. In case Nani Bernardo is booked out for a private event, we will replace this stop with Ca. Rezzonico Palace or an equally stunning palace.

Argentina

This curated premium wine experience is designed for travelers seeking intimacy beyond the typical winery tour. You’ll visit two lesser-known bodegas selected by your host, Julieta, which reflect the heart and soul of Mendoza’s winemaking culture. These bodegas often fly under the radar, offering smaller productions, hands-on methods, and a deeper look at Mendoza’s independent wine scene. The experience centers on meaningful encounters and great wine, set against a backdrop of majestic landscapes—scenes your guide, a professional photographer, will help you capture.

Inspired by the slow travel movement, Julieta tailors the pace to be gentle and unhurried. She’ll accompany you on tours of both wineries, working in tandem with the host at each estate to explain technique and terroir. Between tastings, she’ll share the kinds of stories locals usually keep to themselves. These vivid tales and captured moments will help you relive the experience long after the final glass is empty.

This wine experience in Mendoza stands out for its personal touch—there are no scripts or tourist traps on Julieta’s watch. She works with a small network of boutique wineries in Mendoza’s Luján de Cuyo and Maipú regions, each chosen for its innovation: some specialize in white wines in this Malbec-dominated region, others are pioneers in sustainable methods, and several are led by female oenologists. These bodegas lie off the main tourist circuit and see fewer visitors than the blockbuster estates, offering a more authentic and intimate experience.

In addition to exploring these off-the-beaten-path wineries, you’ll meet the real people behind the bottles. Julieta will guide you through the visits and keep the energy alive between tastings. As a professional photographer, she can help you capture high-quality images on your device, and will also snap spontaneous portraits without interrupting your journey through the vineyards and cellars.

Madrid rewards those who walk. Over four days, this itinerary moves through the city's living history—from the market stalls of El Rastro to the galleries of the Prado, from Moorish ruins to modernist rooftops. You’ll begin in the old quarters, where each plaza tells a story, then step into the quieter elegance of the Museum of Romanticism and the soaring intensity of a late-night flamenco performance. There’s time for high design and bold flavors—dinners at Sala de Despiece and DiverXO make space for Madrid’s cutting edge. And yet, nothing feels rushed. Mornings ease in with art and architecture, afternoons with café corners or the Bernabéu's pulse. It’s a rhythm of movement and pause, tradition and reinvention, with Madrid’s streets as the thread that holds it all together.

United States

Fes moves at the pace of intention—through hands that craft, stories that endure, and streets that remember. This four-day itinerary is designed to experience the city not from a distance, but from within. It’s a journey built on conversation, tradition, and daily rituals that still carry meaning.

Your time begins in the calm of a riad, where a portrait session and henna ceremony introduce the elegance of Moroccan hospitality and dress. In the afternoon, a guided photo walk invites you into the medina’s light and movement—capturing not just images, but insight into how the city breathes.

On day two, you cook what you’ve sourced, learning to prepare classic dishes in the flow of the market. The flavors carry memory, the process carries lineage. Later, at Al-Attarine Madrasa, geometry and detail reveal the intellectual and artistic sophistication of Islamic Morocco.

The third day opens at the Nejjarine Museum, tracing the arc of wooden craftsmanship. Then comes a deeper look at Berber culture—through healing traditions, bread-making, and domestic arts practiced for generations. These aren’t performances—they’re living legacies, generously shared.

Your final day moves toward the future, exploring how traditional forms evolve in contemporary Fes. A visit to the Merenid Tombs offers a high, quiet view over the city, framing what you’ve just lived through: not a list of sites, but a rhythm of presence. You’ll close the experience over dinner in a restored historic house, where old beauty continues to welcome.

Fes In the Folds of Time

4-day itinerary in Fes exploring medina life, Berber heritage, henna, souks, crafts, Moroccan food.

This Milan itinerary is sleek, elegant, and curated — the perfect expression of Milanese sophistication across architecture, design, fashion, and food. It’s about Milan as it’s truly lived: designed, composed, and always in conversation with its past and future.

Milan is precision with personality—a city where modern lines meet Renaissance texture, and where fashion, architecture, and food are expressions of the same pursuit: style with substance. This three-day itinerary moves through that balance with intent, beginning in the geometry and vision of Gio Ponti’s architectural legacy. From the Pirelli Tower to lesser-known gems, the morning reveals how Milan’s skyline was shaped not just by ambition, but by design thinking.

The afternoon shifts to the Navigli District—Leonardo da Vinci’s hand in its canals, but today, the flow belongs to artists, gallery owners, and baristas. You’ll wander cobbled paths, stop for an aperitivo, and settle into a slow dinner at Osteria Conchetta, where Milanese cuisine is served without pretense but full of detail.

Day two leaves the city for the lakes. A curated visit to Lake Como weaves together water, stone, and stillness. At Villa del Balbianello and through the towns of Como and Bellagio, nature is never separate from design—it’s framed by it. This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s about atmosphere. Scale, silence, villas on cliffs. Beauty at rest.

On your final day, the focus returns to Milan with a walk through Brera. Here, art meets appetite—small galleries, curated boutiques, and a lunch scene that respects tradition while playing with it. The afternoon brings you to Castello Sforzesco and its layered museums, followed by a pause in Sempione Park—green space as counterbalance. And finally: dinner at Tartufotto, where truffle meets elegance in the heart of the city.

Milan in Form and Flair

3-day itinerary in Milan with Gio Ponti's landmarks, Lake Como villas, Brera art, truffle-laced food

From ancient medinas to soaring mountain peaks, this 7-day itinerary in Morocco begins in the heart of Marrakesh and ends high in the Atlas Mountains. A full week of cultural contrasts, spiritual traditions and modern art, plus rooftop sunsets, hands-on cooking classes, vibrant souks and quiet trails. Each day balances immersive experiences with time to explore independently, inviting you to see Morocco through the eyes of artists, chefs, guides, and storytellers.

DAY 1 – MEDINA FOUNDATIONS & ROOFTOP VIEWS | Begin in the heart of the old city with The City of Seven Men, a walking tour that weaves together faith, folklore, and Moroccan tea in a local home. In the afternoon, visit Bahia Palace, where carved cedar and painted ceilings reflect Marrakesh’s opulent past. As the sun sets, join Skyline Stories of Marrakesh, a rooftop journey through a thousand years of history. End the night over dinner at Le Foundouk, with views to match the mood.

DAY 2 – FLAVORS & FAITH | Spend your day with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm and generous cooking class in a private home. In the late afternoon, explore the remains of El Badi Palace, once a symbol of Saadian grandeur. As evening falls, experience A Gathering of Sufi Presence—a powerful blend of Hadra music, spiritual storytelling, and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Wrap up with cocktails and city lights at Dardar Rooftop.

DAY 3 – ART & ATMOSPHERE IN GUELIZ | Today is centered in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s contemporary quarter. Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a curated visit to a local gallery and studio meetup. Then discover the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent at the museum, followed by a stroll through the vivid and peaceful Jardin Majorelle in the Psychedelic Mirage story. Pause for shopping, cafés, or a relaxed dinner at Al Fassia, a Gueliz institution run by women.

DAY 4 – HERITAGE & STORYTELLING | Dive deeper into Marrakesh’s medina with A Thousand and One Crafts, a private walk through its hidden workshops and time-honored techniques. In the afternoon, visit the Mouassine Music Museum and the Photography Museum, both offering quiet insight into Moroccan life and creativity. End the day with 1001 Stories in Marrakesh, an intimate evening of storytelling, music, and dinner. L’mida rooftop awaits to close the day with vibrant flavors and city lights.

DAY 5 – SWEETS & STILLNESS | Begin your day with a heartwarming class at Signs & Sweets, where deaf chefs guide you through the art of Moroccan pastry in a café that empowers and connects. In the afternoon, pause for renewal with a traditional hammam ritual—an invitation to slow down and reconnect. End the day with a sensory feast in one of Marrakesh’s most atmospheric restaurants.

DAYS 6–7 – INTO THE ATLAS | Leave the city behind for a two-day trek into the High Atlas Mountains. Your guide leads you from the village of Imlil toward the summit of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Along the way, you’ll pass Berber hamlets, alpine trails, and star-filled skies. Spend the night in a mountain refuge and descend the next day with the stillness of the mountains etched into your memory.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

A Passage Through Morocco

A Morocco 2 week itinerary from Fes to Marrakesh with culture, coast, and Atlas Mountains.

Rovinj invites slowness. It’s a town best explored on fork or glass in hand, with time to stop—often. This three-day itinerary offers a thoughtful pace through its stone-lined alleys, seaside kitchens, and sun-drenched vineyards, where each experience feels close to the land, and closer still to the people who live by it.

Your journey begins in Rovinj’s Old Town, a maze of worn steps and cascading homes perched above the Adriatic. Mornings are for wandering the harbor and watching the rhythms of the fishing boats; midday leads you to the local market, where seasonal produce and handmade cheeses speak to Istria’s generous soil. In the afternoon, a boat ride through Lim Fjord adds contrast—quiet water, steep cliffs, and stillness that settles in.

Day two is dedicated to flavor and touch. “A Kitchen Among Olive Trees” is more than a cooking class—it’s a full-sensory dive into Istrian culinary culture, hosted by locals with deep knowledge of land, oil, and tradition. The afternoon brings you to St. Euphemia Church, where a climb to the bell tower reveals sweeping views of sea, rooftops, and sky—a quiet reward before another intimate dinner.

The final day pulls you inland. A full-day wine experience takes you to Rovinj’s vineyards, where crisp whites and deep reds are poured beside vineyard paths and old cellars. It’s a generous and slow-moving day, designed for both learning and tasting. You’ll close with one last look at the fjord, a soft light setting over the water as you reflect on days well spent.

This is an invitation to pause, cook, sip, and look closely. Rovinj rewards travelers who resist the rush.

Slow Days in Rovinj

3-day itinerary in Rovinj exploring coastal streets, Istrian cuisine, olive groves, and local wines.

Lisbon reveals its charm through tiled facades, narrow alleys, soulful voices, and windswept shores. This four-day itinerary is designed to move with the rhythm of the city: unhurried, personal, and full of subtle texture. From the moment you arrive, you’ll step into neighborhoods where time feels suspended. Old-world shops still open their doors to regulars. Stories unfold not just in museums, but in daily life, on street corners, and over plates of bacalhau.

Day two leads beyond the city to Sintra, where misted palaces rise out of forested hills. The romance of Pena Palace and the layers of history at Palácio Nacional are only part of the story—this is a place where Portugal’s past still breathes. The evening returns you to Alfama, where Fado carries generations of love, loss, and longing into the night.

Day three returns to the city’s architectural dialogue. You’ll walk from the skeletal grace of Carmo Convent to the industrial beauty of Pilar 7, before diving deep into the history of azulejos with an art historian. Each tile tells a story of empire, faith, and form—art that both preserves and transforms.

On your final day, the city gives way to nature. Arrábida Natural Park opens up cliffs, caves, and coastlines shaped by time and tides. Led by a naturalist, you’ll step into a landscape both ancient and alive. It's a fitting end to a journey that blends the built and the wild, the intimate and the monumental.

The Charming Soul of Lisbon

4-day itinerary in Lisbon exploring historic neighborhoods, palaces, Fado, azulejos, wild coasts.

This is a stunning itinerary — a true slow-burn, full of history, nature, food, and texture. 

Sicily stretches between earth and sky—an island of contrast and continuity, where every hill, breeze, and coastline carries the weight of story. This seven-day itinerary moves with intention across that spectrum, from mountain to monastery, vineyard to volcano, cathedral to coast. It begins in Palermo, where gold mosaics shimmer inside Monreale Cathedral and narrow streets echo with centuries of layered life.

From there, the journey leads west to Erice, where mist clings to medieval towers, then down to the Zingaro Reserve—where cliffs and coves open up to the sea. In Marsala, you’ll encounter a different kind of landscape: windmills, salt flats, and the crisp, mineral pull of local wine. These aren’t stops—they're textures in a deeper conversation with place.

Midweek, you shift eastward, through Agrigento’s ancient Greek temples and the baroque turns of Ragusa and Modica. A cooking class in the countryside offers something slower: olive oil, family knowledge, and time shared under trees. Siracusa invites further stillness, with Ortigia’s quiet beauty and Marzamemi’s soft, seaside rhythm.

The final stretch leads upward—to Mount Etna, where Sicily’s volcanic heart breathes in silence and smoke. From there, a descent into Taormina for one last night: open-air theater, coastal views, and a closing meal with the city lit behind you.

Seville invites attention to detail. This four-day itinerary moves between grandeur and intimacy—morning light through cathedral vaults, cool stone cloisters, flamenco’s charged silences, and meals that stretch into conversation. You’ll step through centuries at the Alcázar, ascend La Giralda, and follow the threads of sacred art, from Baroque iconography to modern reinterpretations. Yet Seville isn’t preserved in amber. At places like CAAC and Cañabota, the city’s creative energy hums. Architecture, cuisine, and performance aren’t staged—they’re lived, layered into daily rhythms. With time set aside for late dinners, quiet courtyards, and local artists, this journey balances guided encounters with space to follow your own curiosity. It’s a city of contrast, yes—but more than that, it’s a place where the contrasts speak to each other.

Italy: Canals to Colosseum

7-day itinerary across Venice, Florence and Rome, an iconic mix of history, culture, art, and food

This 10-day itinerary moves through Andalusia’s most expressive cities—Seville, Cádiz, Ronda, Málaga, and Granada—balancing guided experiences with time to wander. You’ll follow a one-way route from Seville to Málaga to minimize travel and deepen your experience. From Moorish palaces to Roman ruins and vibrant markets, this trip is an invitation to engage with Andalusia as a living culture. Along the way, you’ll find curated experiences, hotel and dining recommendations, and insights from two locals who know this region intimately.

Seville is your entry point—fly in and settle into a city where architecture, energy, and rhythm shape the streets. Visit the Alcázar, take a masterclass in flamenco’s quieter meanings, and explore hidden workshops in Triana. | Cádiz follows, and with it, the feeling of arrival into a deeper past. Here, you’ll walk seaside ramparts, taste freshly caught fish in local markets, and join locals for a casual tapas crawl. Don’t miss the Carnival, if your timing aligns. | Ronda offers slower breath and cliffside drama. With its sweeping views and old-world charm, this is the perfect place for a horseback ride, a visit to a family-run bodega, or a hike into the surrounding countryside. | Málaga, long overlooked, now leads with contemporary art and bold cuisine. | Granada, your final stop, gathers everything—Islamic architecture, Jewish heritage, Spanish tradition. The Alhambra is a must, but so are the Albaicín’s narrow alleys and the city’s soulful street corners.

Trains run between some major cities, but not all. To follow this route with ease, we recommend car rentals or arranged transfers between accommodations. Begin in Seville and fly out from Málaga.

Cádiz as a place of convergence: María José was born and raised in Cádiz, and her eyes sparkle with pride and nostalgia as she describes this ancient city where history, culture, and the sea converge. It’s a place where stories of Phoenician sailors, Roman conquerors, and Moorish poets are continually retold. Reflecting on her childhood, she recalls the close-knit neighborhood where people relied on one another. Carnival—an annual February tradition—was central. Lucía remembers it too; her grandmother was a seamstress who hand-stitched elaborate costumes each year. 

The essence of Andalusia, María José says, is best experienced not through spectacles, but through shared moments. Conversations in taverns. Crafts passed down through generations. Hospitality that’s unforced and real. Strangers are often welcomed like friends—invited into homes, kitchens, or village fiestas. Here, you’re never just an observer.

There’s growing interest in pairing cultural travel with nature, wellness, and gastronomy. Think horseback safaris, slow treks, and olive oil tastings under ancient trees. For María José and Lucía, true luxury is about access to spaces and stories that are otherwise closed to tourists: a private sherry tasting in a centuries-old bodega, a sunset boat ride in Doñana, or a morning spent with artisans in a whitewashed village. This is the Andalusia they want travelers to know.

There are so many museums and art galleries in Paris that it's hard to decide where to go first. Most tourists want to stand in line at the Louvre, admire Claude Monet, or visit the National Museum of Art – but as so few check out the famous street art of Paris, we knew it was our thing to do.
There is so much history behind each piece of art or painting out there that it is worth investing some extra money and time to immerse yourself in Paris's artistic exploration fully. We did a whole self-organized art walk visiting 7 streets, with an audio tour, and visited the different places on our own (though you can get a personal guide). 
Our highlight was Rue Saint-Maur – a 2km-long street painted mainly by the artist Kashink. The artist plays with classic elements of Parisian street art and combines them with modern political messages.

Catania's fish market, known locally as "A Piscaria," is the heart of the city. It’s loud, it’s surprising, it’s humbling, it’s real. Colours, fragrances, and market place shouting.

A visit to Catania's fish market allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture, adding a unique and flavorful element to your Sicily travels.

The fish market comes to life in the early morning, around 5.30 a.m., when the fishmongers arrive. But from around 7.30 a.m., the market offers a more calm environment; it's easier to roam among the booths, and soak up the environment.

So amid the current situation of the world myself and two other friends managed to score flights to Colorado for $47. We rented a Jeep and decided to travel all around Colorado. This was my first time ever out west as I am an eastern girl! 

If you are ever able to visit Maroon Bells please do! Preferably at night so that you can watch the sun set over the mountain top! The sound coming from the small river combined with the smell of fresh air made me want to pitch a tent and never leave! The weather was not as cold as I expected. I was hoping to see more wild life but besides a few ducks there was none. I still had a fantastic time.
