This March having marked the year from when our beloved Italy first went down to Italy, I am writing this from a warm breezy Sardinian beach on the first days of what truly seems like the arrival of summer. While we still hope, with the vaccination regime underway, to be able to share this Italian sun, scrumptious local food, spectacular architecture, and glistening mediterranean sea with you as soon as possible this summer and if not, next, meanwhile we will continue to share our favorite Italian passions with your lovers of Italy via all means we can. We host weekly rooms on Wednesdays at 9am and 5pm Italian time with local guests: artists, artisans, authors aristocrats and actors will take to the stage with us to discuss all things Italy. Nevertheless, it is very possible to just switch on like the radio and relax and listen to what’s going on, there is no obligation to speak and usually, in the rooms, there is a mix of listeners and listeners wishing to join in the conversation.

As I’m sure you know, the situation has been and is constantly changing and will depend on your country of origin, your citizenship/residence, reason for travel and eventually your vaccination status. We advise everyone to have full travel cover insurance and check our cancellation policy but we are honoring cancelled trips due to government-imposed restrictions with vouchers through to 2022.

Each region is rich in artistic and cultural heritage: from Florence, the birthplace of the renaissance, to Sicily, studded with stunning ancient Greek temples, to Venice and its grand canal, to Capri – filled with ongoing magic as a place loved by ancient Roman emperors and by the glitterati today…! Let us take care of your sabbatical We can help you decide where to spend your sabbatical in Italy and help organise your new life working remotely from Italy- whether it’s for a few weeks, a few months or for a year or more.
