The Colosseum
Arriving through Austria from the north, the alps hold us captivated by a stunning, hard-cut vista of majestic mountains. We wind through alpine roads, magnificent tunnels, timeless villages and terraced vineyards clinging to the hillsides.
Italy, an unexpected patchwork of rustic European charm, Mediterranean bliss peppered with ancient ruins and architecture from across the ages stitched together with modern infrastructure. She wraps us in her warmhearted hospitality and sizzling September sunshine.
The charm of Tuscany’s Cortona lends itself to unique shopping, a boutique hotel stay and a religious experience with chocolate, while a visit to Pisa thrills the children.
From the historic romance of Venice to the opulence of Vatican City, Italy is a family favorite. Beyond the automotive chaos that reigns on Roman roads, Rome’s antiquity is weaved within a modern edge which hasn’t overwhelmed. Everything is touched with the slight, worn-in comfort of the Italian way of life. Italy’s pleasure, beauty and simplicity leaves a imprint in our hearts.
