Today we’re chatting about Italy, one of the most iconic destinations in the world. The country’s riches in terms of art, history, food, wine, and stunning landscapes have lured millions of visitors per year. So a true luxury experience in this part of the world means having the insider connections to get off the beaten path and experience the true heart of Italian culture. Spend your days sipping aperol while overlooking the shimmering Mediterranean sea, picking lemons from an orchard, or zooming around Rome in a classic car - all while knowing your trip is in the hands of the foremost experts on Italian travel. Our guest today is Andrea Grisdale, the owner of IC Bellagio. IC Bellagio has been designing ungoogleable experiences in Italy and curating the best guides in the game for 20 years.
