TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST TRAVELLERS:

Gary & Jeanne

The highlights of the tour were the incredible landscapes and seascapes, the engaging and unique people we met (including truffle hunters and their dogs!), and, needless to say, the amazing food and wine! We drove to locations, along the coast and in small mountain villages, that we could never have found on our own. Our guides were always friendly, cheerful, and humorous, the perfect hosts/tour guides. We highly recommend, if it is possible, to do one or two "add-ons"- Sharifa will also provide excellent advice on what you might do. We are well-traveled people, and this is one of the truly great trips of our time together--recommended most highly!

Geordie & Nancy

Wonderful week with the people, food and character of Abruzzo. The meeting before we left to discuss what we liked to do most meant no stress, just enjoying every day while we were there. Sharifa provided activities and restaurants the average tourist would never have heard of. The amazing variety of food types and cooking was outstanding, always fresh from the local farms or fishermen, and our guides friendships with the chefs made it totally personal. This was Italy and Abruzzo the way it was meant to be lived.

Italy is a playground for travellers and it’s no surprise the country ranks third among the world’s most popular destinations. With 20 distinct regions, each offering its own blend of culture, architecture, cuisine and charm, Italy promises a unique experience for every visitor.

Out of our deep love for this incredible country, we’ve narrowed our list to five must-visit regions— each with something special to offer.

PUGLIA: The “heel” of Italy and home to the country’s longest coastline. In Puglia, music (Taranto) fills the air, smiles are always genuine and ancient Trulli architecture stands as a testament to history. And of course, no visit to Puglia is complete without a loving nonna insisting you “magnà” (eat!).

ABRUZZO: One of Italy’s most underrated gems— an absolute paradise for food and wine lovers. Nestled between mountains and hillsides, Abruzzo boasts a trendy yet unspoiled coastline waiting to be explored.

MARCHE: Lose yourself in a sea of sunflower fields and picturesque hillside towns. A dream for cyclists, this region balances the best of both Italy’s North and South. Did we mention it is the country’s shoe capital…

UMBRIA: A landlocked gem in the heart of Italy, Umbria is a haven of lush greenery, medieval towns and breathtaking cathedrals— including the renowned Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi. This region is celebrated for its bold wines, artisanal cheeses, truffles and earthy mushrooms.

SICILY: As Italy’s largest region and the Mediterranean’s biggest island, Sicily embodies the essence of Italian culture, art and history. Often described as a “continent within a country,” Sicily’s deep historical roots are reflected in its diverse cuisine, dialects and customs— each carrying the imprint of the many civilizations that have passed through its shores.
