Our Hidden Gems of Italy

Orvieto

Shadows dance on the ancient stones and secrets are whispered through the ages in this clifftop town. Explore the mysterious depths of the Etruscan Underground, gaze upon the haunting beauty of the Duomo, and let the city’s hidden stories unfold before you.

Pienza

This jewel of urban planning is known as the ‘Ideal City’ and is the fruit of Pope Pius II‘s Renaissance vision. He set about transforming his birthplace in the 15th century, and the results are so stunning that UNESCO designated Pienza as a World Heritage site.

Alberobello

White beehive huts with conical roofs spread in front of you like the clouds drifting in the sky above and you start to believe you’ve stepped into a fairytale. This is another UNESCO gem filled with over 1,500 unique dwellings called trulli.
