THE BESPOKE DOLCE VITA EXPERIENCE
And discover the hidden gems that 99% of tourists will never see!
Most tourists only experience 1% of Italy.
But what about the rest?
Each year, millions of travelers arrive in Italy with the same checklist: Venice, Florence, Rome, the Amalfi Coast.
These iconic places are undeniably beautiful, but they reflect only a small slice of what this country truly offers.
THE RESULT? OVERTURISM!
Overcrowded streets, long lines, rising prices and rushed experiences. But there’s another Italy...
One made of silent landscapes, ancient rituals, villages untouched by time.
Beyond the crowds lies a deeper connection, where beauty feels personal, and discovery is still possible.
Bespoke Italian Escapes, Designed with Intention
Your journey through Italy should feel as effortless as it is unforgettable.
At Holiday’s in Umbria, we embrace the beauty of slow, intentional travel
No tight itineraries. No checklists.
Just experiences that breathe deep, vivid, truly yours.
Think vineyard picnics in a vintage Fiat 500, or sunrise balloon rides above rolling golden hills.
With deep local knowledge and a love for timeless elegance, we design trips around you.
Your rhythm. Your passions.
Your personal way of discovering Italy!
