Slow Travel and Why it’s so Important
We see it time, and time again. Our wonderful guests plan a jam packed trip with tours booked, dinner reservations made, and hotel hopping every 2-3 days only to realise, once they arrive at our Estate, that they’re tired and perhaps are doing too much. Upon checking in they discover that in actual fact, they’d really like to slow down and finally savour the Italian moment.
