Synopsis

What a shame to call this book just a guide when it is much more than that: it's a precious object of desire for  ladies who are fancying a getaway week to Italy or packing up ideas for the next Italian holiday. Beautifully and delicately illustrated, this feminine and extraordinary chic guide reveals to the readers the most authentic and exclusive Italy: shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars, museums, events and so many other places - whether they be all-time favorites or well-kept secrets - of the true Italians. And now the American ladies may discover these exquisitely rare and refined experiences for themselves too. The book is an elegant "Grand Tour" of Italy which tells about elegant boutiques, Italian style gardens, fine museums, and unforgettable experiences to live at least once in a lifetime, including B&B farms and outlets off the map. With a wink at environmentally sustainable tourism, each entry accompanies women to breathtaking experiences -- whether it's a tech-free break in an Umbrian hermitage, or buying a book in a bookshop that has Tiepolo's affrescos on its ceiling, a pasta-making class in Bologna or a watercolour class in Florence!
