How To Travel Italy In Style From The Lakes To The City To The Shore

Forget the crowds, swarms of tourists and the pre-packaged tours.  This year take the time to see the glories of Italy from a different perspective – your own.  These three elegant and intimate resorts showcase the best of Italy in three very different settings; Lake Como, Rome and Capri.

On the Lake

On the banks of Italy’s Lake Como, tucked into an expansive, serene garden, lies the CastaDiva Resort with its stylish accommodations in a collection of distinctive mansions with names inspired by operatic heroines. Opening in May 2010, CastaDiva’s centerpiece will be the 18th-century Villa Roccabruna, the one-time residence of opera singer and Bellini muse Giuditta Pasta. Soon, guests will be able to enjoy the same stunning views of the lake and the ever-changing play of light on the water’s surface that once inspired the composer.

From a majestic pool floating right over the lake, to charming garden paths wending past little brooks, to a spa evoking the elements of water, earth, fire and air, CastaDiva offers world-class renewal to a privileged few. The spa’s relaxation area, housed in a historic 19th-century dock, have chaise lounges placed dramatically on a glass floor suspended over the water.  Each evening, a dancing fountain enchants guests with a show of lights and water choreographed to Italian arias.

Just beyond the resort, guests will find endless diversions: seven golf courses, hiking, and watersports ranging from diving to boating. Charming villages along Lake Como beckon visitors to explore streets steeped in tradition and culture.  

In the City

In the heart of ancient Rome, the elegant Hotel Gladiatori Palazzo Manfredi welcomes guests with authentic Italian hospitality and an unsurpassed attention to detail. Its 16 guest accommodations are stylish and sumptuous, with windows and a rooftop garden terrace that reveal breathtaking views of the Colosseum, Imperial Forum and the Domus.

Guests can choose to explore the city via the hotel’s sleek Lamborghini Gallardo, available for daily rental, or simply stroll the magnificent Via dei Fori Imperiali to attractions ranging from the Piazza Venezia and Quirinale Palace to the Trevi Fountain and Via Condotti, Rome’s most exclusive and elegant shopping street.

On the Shore

Carved from a cliff’s edge on the island of Capri, overlooking the waters of Marina Piccola and its dramatic Faraglioni rock formation, the Hotel Punta Tragara caters to a select few guests with unequaled hospitality and unforgettable views.

This intimate hotel, with only 44 rooms and suites – no two alike – was originally a private villa designed in 1920 by famed architect Le Corbusier.  Each of the hotel’s guest rooms and suites is positioned to make the most of the cliffside locale, with balconies affording private views of the shimmering bay.

Guests can enjoy two seawater swimming pools, indulge in a pampering treatment at the luxurious new UNICA Beauty & SPA, and dine on inspired Mediterranean classics by candlelight at the Monzu Restaurant – each vantage point offering yet another picture-perfect view. 

Perched above the charming town of Marina Piccola, the Hotel Punta Tragara offers direct access to the sea and to two of Capri’s most exclusive Beach Clubs. It is just minutes from the bustling Piazzetta, the prime shopping street of Via Camerelle, and the picturesque Via Tragara, one of the most beautiful walks on Capri.
