Sweet 16 Experiences in Italy
In honor of the 16th anniversary of Dream of Italy, we’ve looked back through our pages to curate some of our most memorable Italian experiences. Truffle hunting with our favorite brothers tops the list! And how we love learning experiences, from making mozzarella (and meeting the buffalo who make the milk) to crafting Venetian masks. Plus mark you calendar for Andrea Bocelli’s yearly concert Slow Food’s Salone del Gusto every two years.
Sweet 16 Places to Stay in Italy
There’s something for everyone in Italy, that’s for sure. A key part of the Italian experience is where you stay and we’ve hand-picked our favorite places to stay: from a resort set among ancient hot springs to a “diffuse hotel” in a rural corner of Abruzzo. Explore our favorite modern design hotel in Rome and a country B&B that is perfect for families.
Sweet 16 Places to Eat in Italy
Let’s face it, quite possibly the #1 reason we go to Italy is to eat! For our list of 16 favorites, we picked a variety of dining experiences, from the street food in the markets of Palermo to our favorite food tour in Rome to Michelin-star restaurants in the Dolomites and Emilia-Romagna. Put these places on your must-dine list.
