American and Northern European travelers are changing the way they experience Italy.
Instead of moving city to city every two days, they’re staying longer in one extraordinary place, living like locals inside centuries-old villas overlooking Lake Garda.
Morning swims before breakfast.
Boat rides at sunset.
Children running through lemon groves while grandparents drink wine under frescoed ceilings.
This is the new Italian Grand Tour: slower, more intimate, deeply personal.
And once you experience Italy this way, hotels feel very far away.
