Listen Later

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso share their recent adventures across Italy, detailing a captivating journey from the bustling streets of Rome to the serene landscapes of Tuscany. Their four-day Roman escapade was filled with the vibrant life of local cafes, a private tour of the Colosseum, and a culinary exploration of diverse restaurants. They also discovered a newfound appreciation for the Negroni cocktail, trying different versions at Roman cocktail bars.

The second stop on their road trip included a stay in a historic palazzo, where they relished in having it to themselves. As part of Kimberly’s goal to provide clients with unique and reliable recommendations, they stay at these accommodations for confirmation. Their road trip will continue north with a longer stay in the Dolomites.

Travel insights from the hosts emphasize the convenience of direct flights to major Italian cities like Rome, Milan, or Napoli. They praised the renovated Delta Lounge at Boston Logan Airport for its improvements. In Rome, they noted the ongoing restoration of many sculptures and buildings in preparation for the upcoming Jubilee, and observed the lively yet unfinished setup of Christmas markets in Piazza Navona, accompanied by festive music in shops. A noteworthy update includes the Pantheon’s new entrance fee, which has improved visitor flow, while construction around the Trevi Fountain with it’s new elevated walkway is yet to be finished. A Vespa ride through Roman traffic added an exciting twist to their experience.

Logistical reflections included the strategic decision to rent a car on the outskirts of Rome to avoid city traffic and potential fines proved to be a good move. Looking forward, Kimberly and Tommaso promise more updates from their continued travels on the road in bel’italia.
