Step into a world where Italy unfolds through beauty, craft, and soul.
The Italian Collection is your curated guide to the country’s most exquisite stays, shops, and experiences, a celebration of the art of living well.
Discover Florence and Ravenna through handpicked hotels, artisans, and guided journeys that reveal the Italy only insiders know.
Ravenna
Golden mosaics, quiet wonder, and the rhythm of real Italian life by the Adriatic.
“Ravenna! In thy holy streets hath been
Byron’s great spirit, Dante’s solemn tread.”
Oscar Wilde
Lake Lecco
A poetic, peaceful escape—mountains, water, and stillness.
“Lecco is one of those places where silence speaks louder than words.”
​
Antonio Fogazzaro
Florence
Renaissance art, cobbled streets, and endless reasons to fall in love.
“Firenze is like a piece of music — the harmony is never broken.”
E.M. Forster
Rome
Ancient ruins, timeless beauty, and the vibrant heartbeat of la dolce vita.
​
“Rome is the mirror of the world.”
​
Giotto

What to Taste
A golden-hour aperitivo with olives, prosecco, and local gossip
Warm piadina folded with cheese and rocket on a quiet Ravenna street
Classic tagliatelle al ragù in a tucked-away trattoria in Bologna
A perfect cappuccino, sipped slowly—never after 11am, naturally
“Italy isn’t just a destination.
It’s a lifestyle.”
What to See and Do
The Italian Collection
​
​ Curated Stays, Shops & Experiences for the Cultured Traveller
Discover Italy through the eyes of a curator, one who values craftsmanship, beauty, and soul.
The Italian Collection is a handpicked register of the country’s most exquisite places and experiences: boutique hotels, artisanal ateliers, wellness sanctuaries, enotecas, and guided journeys that reveal the true essence of Italian life.
Our collections begin in Florence and Ravenna, two cities where art, tradition, and quiet elegance meet.
Each destination invites you to slow down, to savour, and to see Italy not as a tourist, but as a connoisseur.
