Everyone dreams of living La Dolce Vita: delicious cuisine, breathtaking landscapes, legendary scenes, and cultural treasures. An immersion in a destination in its purest form, a way of life perfectly encapsulated by Belmond’s Italian properties, where time spent leisurely understanding the local rhythms is of utmost importance. Whether in a state of reverie with sweeping views of the Italian Riviera or wandering the endless rolling hills of Tuscany, this is the intrinsically Italian concept of Villeggiatura - a term defined as a prolonged stay in a single place. An expression at the heart of the Belmond experience, with a deeper meaning, embodying the ability to feel a sense of belonging in a foreign city, an environment for mental and physical regeneration. Journey with Belmond to the most-beloved Italian destinations, from Portofino to Florence, from Venice to Taormina, with Villeggiatura: Italian Summer Vacation. Plan for the upcoming summer season at exceptional hotels - Cipriani, Splendido, Splendido Mare, Villa San Michele, Castello di Casole, Caruso, Grand Hotel Timeo, and Villa Sant’Andrea.
