WRITTEN by GUEST BLOGGER, Danielle Oteri of Feast on History.

Our first home in Southern Italy for Southern Secrets: Campania and Sicily’s Hidden Corners tour (June 29 – July 8, 2018) is Borgo La Pietraia, pictured, in Capaccio. Borgo La Pietraia was designed by famous Italian architect Nicola Pagliara to pay homage to an ancient mountainside village. Having been completed in 2008, it is also ultra modern. Each room has its own private terrace overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. (I’m also in love with the rain shower and olive oil soap in the bathrooms.)

On Day 1, after you’ve had a chance to settle in to your suite and take a dip in the swimming pool, we’ll meet for a special welcome dinner at FOOD, the property’s fine-dining restaurant.

Join me and Allison of Experience Sicily for this insider’s tour of Southern Italy and Sicily.
