FILYGUIDES: SUMMER SPOT
These are the places we return to every year, the ones we talk about among ourselves before even writing them down here: a glamping site in the Maremma, an Umbrian castle, a mountain refuge accessible only by cable car. No place is chosen by chance — only destinations we truly love, spanning the sea, the countryside, and the mountains. Because the most beautiful part of summer is often hidden, and it’s worth seeking out.
Sea
Glamping Terre di Sacra
Our go-to address for those who want the sea without sacrificing silence. Luxury tents immersed in the Mediterranean scrub of the Maremma: one of the most beautiful places we have ever slept.
Capalbio, Tuscany
Bagno Arsella
It doesn't need to be reinvented. A historic beach club, the real deal, with the light of Versilia that you can't find anywhere else.
Lungomare di Levante, Marina di Massa, Tuscany
Locanda Lorena
You can only get there by boat, and that is exactly the beauty of it. One of our absolute favorite lunches: ultra-fresh fish and a view over the water, between Palmaria and the Cinque Terre.
Palmaria Island, Liguria
Punta Ala
The pine forest, the Polo Club, the beach. A triptych that for us is synonymous with elegant, timeless summer.
Punta Ala, Tuscany
Countryside
Castello di Reschio
If we had to choose just one place to represent our idea of the countryside, this would be it. A medieval castle restored with such care that it shows in every detail.
Tabaccaia di Reschio, Lisciano Niccone PG, Umbria
Fattoria Casamora
A more intimate, less well-known address, but one that always brings us back. The true Tuscan countryside, with its slow pace and authentic hospitality.
Valdarno, Arezzo, Tuscany
Eremito
No Wi-Fi, no distractions. Just woods, silence, and an entirely different concept of luxury. One of the places that changed our way of understanding a vacation.
Località Tarina 2 – Parrano (Terni), Umbria
Aethos Saragano
An ancient village reinterpreted with a design that never betrays the soul of the place. Olive trees, vineyards, and that feeling of being outside of time.
Saragano, Umbria
Mountains
Selva di Val Gardena
In summer, the Dolomites tell a different story. Selva, at the foot of the Sassolungo, is the perfect starting point for those seeking pure air and breathtaking views.
Val Gardena, Dolomites, South Tyrol
Vigilius Mountain Resort
You can only arrive by cable car, and that is already half the experience. A retreat where architecture serves nature, not the other way around.
Lana, South Tyrol
