There is a place, in the hills of Modica, where time has stopped. Not in the sense that nothing happens, on the contrary. But there, the days pass slowly, to the rhythm of light, wind and silences full of life. The villa cannot be seen immediately. You have to travel along a small road that […]

I’ve never been a comfortable vacation type. But this time I needed something different in my life. A refuge. So, pushed by a Sicilian friend, I ended up here, a few kilometers from Piazza Armerina, immersed in the rugged and beautiful countryside of the Sicilian hinterland. The mansion had been described to me as “a […]

In the lush Vallagarina valley lies Besenello, on the left bank of the Adige River. For those familiar with the valley, Besenello is especially known for its marvelous castle, Castel Beseno, the largest fortress in Trentino. It entirely occupies the hilltop overlooking the town.

While walking near Lake Santa Caterina, I came across a property that immediately caught my attention: a family-run hotel, simple and genuine, with huge potential to become a small […]

The villa appears almost without warning, when the road lifts gently between the hills of Petacciato. The sea stretches in the distance like the backdrop of an oil painting, against which the house rises as a white, essential monolith set into a landscape that still retains a trace of wilderness. The large square window sees […]

It’s a hot August day, and the sun is already shining high over Trento when I hop on my bike. The morning air is still pleasantly cool, and the city’s quiet streets seem to gently lead me toward a little adventure. The final destination is a special house in Ischia, a quiet hamlet of Pergine […]
