COME WITH US TO ITALY
Last summer, we wandered through Rome and Sardinia with our extended multigenerational family — kids from toddlers to teens — gathering the moments, meals, and places that made the trip unforgettable.
ROME
to stay
- Fendi Private Suites — a modern, elegant hideaway right in the heart of the city.
- Hotel Eden — a classic favorite from another trip, full of timeless charm.
to eat
- Vladimiro Marcello — an old family favorite that always feels like coming home. Had my first bite of real Roman food here when I was 15!
- Felice a Testaccio — long tables, classic Roman dishes, and the kind of meal you linger over.
to do
- Private tours with Context Tours — especially the food tour that became an instant family highlight.
- Wander the cobblestone streets, toss coins in the Trevi Fountain, and linger over gelato (because, of course).
SARDINIA
to stay
- We rented a house in Porto Rafael through The Collectionist — Villa Raffaello — choosing peaceful days away from the bustle of Porto Cervo.
to eat
- Ristorante Giagoni in Piazza — a piazza restaurant under a breathtaking mountain backdrop.
- Beach lunch at Porto Pollo Ristorantino — perfect shade, fresh flavors, and sea views.
to sip
- Capichera Vineyards and Winery — we loved it so much we ordered wines to bring home; the kids were welcomed as warmly as we were.
to do
- Discovering hidden beaches — 20‑minute hikes to coves that felt like our own secret spots.
- Chartering a boat for a full day — seeing the Sardinian coast from the water, with glimpses of Corsica in the distance.
LA DOLCE VITA
Italy wasn’t just a destination — it was a pace, a feeling, and a series of perfect moments with family. We hope this little guide sparks a plan (or a daydream) of your own.
