Stylish adventure in Lake Como
If you’re looking for excitement, explore Lake Como. Perched in the mountains, Villa Deluca lies on the site of a medieval watchtower. Over a century old, it has been revitalized with modern Scandinavian and Japanese design. Handcrafted wood and marble create the sleek, modern ambience of the dining room and large, glass windows offer panoramic views of the breathtaking surroundings past the edge of the infinity pool. Lounge on the terrace with a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the vast forest and crystal waters.
If you need to decompress, have a session in the gym, carved into the cliff face with a view of the valley. Then, take a dip in the jacuzzi before heading to the sauna. Walk down to the private dock where you’ll find the boat captain waiting to take you out on the foggy, winter waters of the lake. If you want to tour the area on land, we have classic cars for rent, including a Ferrari 250 GT Lusso, of which only 350 were ever made. Spend an afternoon exploring the beautiful, winding mountain roads in one of these incredibly rare cars for a rarefied experience.
A traditional refuge in Puglia
If you are looking for good food and great wine, visit the farming region of Puglia. A haven from the modern world, Masseria Miria lies at the centre of an old farm, with scenic fields and vineyards melting into the countryside. Allow yourself to be transported as you relax in front of the rustic, stone fireplace with a good book. Then, head downstairs to an ancient cellar that has been converted into a gorgeous Turkish Hamam. In the evening, seek refuge in the walled lemon grove, filled with beautiful winter-fruiting trees.
For a day trip, visit the nearby vineyard which supplies Masseria Miria’s house wines. Tour the cellars, carved into solid limestone before heading upstairs to the historic manor for a local tasting. The vineyard takes a unique approach to its craft, forgoing the use of wooden barrels in order to preserve the original taste of its distinctive wines. This delicious and traditional experience is the perfect opportunity to take home a piece of the land and culture of the region.
