Ravenna - The City Of Love
​​
​
​
​
​
​
There are cities that dazzle, and then there are cities that whisper.
Ravenna is one of the latter — a place where time moves differently, and light filters through gold and glass in a thousand tiny reflections. Once the heart of an empire, today it hums with quiet grandeur: a living mosaic of art, faith, and sea-salted air.
Our curated experiences in Ravenna invite you to slow down, to trace the shimmer of Byzantine beauty, and to feel the ancient pulse that still beats beneath its cobbled streets. This is not a city to rush — it’s one to absorb, to savour, and to remember.
La Dolce vita
Curated Stays, Shops & Experiences for the Cultured Traveller
Mosaics, Mystery and Memory
The City of Eternal Verse
Beneath gilded mosaics and whispering cypresses, Ravenna has inspired some of history’s greatest poets. Dante found his final rest here, Byron wandered in search of inspiration, and Wilde experienced the city’s quiet allure. Walk where genius once lingered, and feel the pulse of creativity that continues to stir the soul. Here, the city itself becomes a living verse, inviting every visitor into its timeless poetic embrace.
Ravenna
The Poet's Muse
Echoes of Byzantium
From Stone to Soul

The Art of Music
Step into the rhythm and glamour of Italy’s musical heritage. In grand halls and intimate spaces, arias and melodies float through the air, each note a story of passion and artistry.

Under Dante’s Plume
The Words of Love
Trace the path of Italy’s greatest poet — from Florence’s vibrant streets to Ravenna’s quiet elegance. Under Dante’s plume, words became architecture, weaving love, exile and divinity into a map of the human soul. Wander through marble cloisters and candlelit chapels where echoes of La Divina Commedia still murmur, and let the timeless beauty of his language sweep over you. Every step is a journey into Italy’s literary soul.

Florence - The City of Re-birth
​​
​
​
​
​
​
There are places you visit — and then there are places that transform you.
Florence is one of the latter. A city where light dances on ancient stone, where every corner hums with beauty, art, and appetite. Our curated experiences invite you to step beyond the postcard — to taste, feel and live Florence in her purest form. Each experience is handcrafted for those who seek connection, story, and soul in everything they do.

Renaissance, Magic & Light
The Alchemy of Taste
A Culinary Pilgrimage
Florence is a city that nourishes both body and soul, a place where art, light and flavour intertwine. The Alchemy of Taste is an intimate walking journey through her most delicious secrets, a celebration of the city’s eternal appetite for beauty and life.
Wander through sun-dappled piazzas and bustling markets where the scent of truffle and aged pecorino fills the air. Sample hand-crafted cheeses and salumi, taste gelato born from generations of artistry, and sip a glass of wine poured through one of Florence’s legendary buchette del vino, the tiny portals in the Florentine walls.

A Wine Affair
An Ode to Tuscan Elegance
Hidden in the heart of Florence lies a sanctuary of wine and whispered stories, a place known only to those who seek the city’s quieter treasures. Here, beneath soft light and the murmur of Italian conversation, a sommelier guides you through a tasting of Tuscany’s finest reds, each glass a reflection of sun, soil and soul.
As you sip, time slows. The air fills with the scent of oak and crushed berries, and every note tells a tale of passion, patience and artistry. This is Florence at her most intimate, a quiet celebration of beauty, craft and the gentle intoxication of la dolce vita.

The Harvest Of Light

Cooking and Connection in the Tuscan Countryside
​
Beyond the city’s golden domes, where olive trees shimmer and the air carries the scent of earth and rosemary, life unfolds at a gentler pace. The Harvest of Light invites you into the heart of a family farm, where food is gathered by hand, stories are shared in the kitchen, and every ingredient is a thread in the tapestry of Tuscan life.
You will pick vegetables still warm from the sun, collect eggs from the coop, and roll fresh pasta as laughter drifts through the open air. Lunch is a simple feast of what the land provides — your handmade pasta, farm-aged cheeses, olive oil pressed on site, and the deep, generous wines of the region.
This is more than a cooking lesson. It is a return to rhythm, to beauty, to the quiet joy of creation. In the stillness of the countryside, you feel Florence’s light in another form — humble, human and wholly alive.
