We're just back from a month long trip to Europe. Our first stop was in southern Italy, arriving in Naples, visiting the fascinating ruins of Pompeii, enjoying the luxury of Capri, the lively city of Sorrento, and the gorgeous Amalfi Coast. This renowned region of Italy offers something for everyone; from ultraluxury hotels, dining, and yachting, to laid back resorts and beaches, wine tasting, and strolling ancient streets to take in the art and shops. Want the details so we can begin planning your trip? September and October are prime months. Let's get started. 

We decided to make a day of our transfer from Capri to Sorrento. First the ferry, then our private driver met us (driving in this area is crazy, best to have a driver) and gave us an orientation of the the large bay that stretches from Naples, past Pompeii and a section of the wine country before curving around toward Sorrento. Our first stop was a wonderful local winery for lunch accompanied by a splendid wine pairing. Then off to Pompeii, where we met our private guide, and spent two hours in the ancient city, destroyed by the eruption, then found and painstakingly resorted. Also incredible to see how the eruption filled in the land and pushed the sea back from the city for miles. And fascinating to see the private homes filled with art, bakeries, shops, restaurants, and streets so perfectly laid-out, which made it possible to imagine the life the people lived at the time. 

Culinary delights - Yes, the food is all fresh and there is a focus on natural ingredients and health, but each dining experience is made perfect by the service and your sense of well-being....and the food is delicious and creative. And don't worry, if you like meat, the finest Wagyu beef is available, along with the freshest seafood, and cuisine flavors from around the world. From the bar, delightful craft cocktails, beer selection, and fine wines.
Immerse in the vibrancy of FLOW, an open-plan interactive dining space featuring three signature kitchens. Plantae offers vegetarian and vegan cuisine, Su serves ocean-to-table pescatarian fare, and B’Well features a signature JOALI BEING menu, including a selection of Earth-to-Table meals. For sunset seekers, there is Mojo – our tropical beach sanctuary located on a three-layered sundeck and is an ideal lunch and sundowner spot by the pool. Culinary arts at JOALI BEING focus on an earth-to-table initiative, promising ingredient traceability and offering fresh, locally harvested foods that support small farms and are sustainably sourced.
Activities - One of the best spas in the world (including cryotherapy), diving, snorkeling, watersports, fishing, yoga, beach picnics, and sunset cruises....or just hang by your private pool and do nothing but live in the dream of the moment.​

​And along with our focus on fishing, we work with other exclusive local partners to design and integrate additional adventure and cultural activities to round out your overall vacation experience. Enjoy the vibrant capital city of Reykjavik, play golf, go diving or snorkeling, horseback rid in the Highlands, explore ancient glaciers and ice caves, sea kayak in the spectacular Glacier Lagoon, ride ATVs on black sand beaches, descend into the magma chamber of a dormant volcano, soak in the therapeutic waters of The Retreat Spa at Blue Lagoon, take a whale watching sea adventure, and enjoy the delicious sea-to-table cuisine.

​Chamonix, France
Highlights - Five main ski areas accessed via the area’s mini base villages; 50 lifts transport skiers of all abilities to terrain that fits their skills. Les Houches and Le Tour are ideal for beginners and intermediates to enjoy the slopes, plus advanced skiers can find their thrills as well. Sunny side Brevant and La Flegere can accommodate beginners and intermediates as well, but there are plenty of off-piste bowls and couloirs to test expert adrenalin seekers. And ok, if you arrived looking to challenge yourself, then Les Grands Montets is the place. Long steep runs, on and off piste, combine with couloirs and chutes to make you earn your lunch at one of the many slope-side restaurants. And finally, if you want the ultimate bucket list ski adventure, challenge yourself in the area off of the Aiguille du Midi, reached by a two-stage cable car from downtown Chamonix. The views from the top are ridiculous so make sure to have your camera as you gaze into Italy and Switzerland. Then the 8,000+-foot descent on and along the glacier of Vallee Blanche features spectacular mountain scenery dominated by Mont Blanc. Definitely recommended to hire a guide for this spectacular experience. Outdoor enthusiasts can also enjoy an extensive Nordic trail, ski touring and winter paragliding. The Mt. Blanc unlimited ski pass includes Megeve and Les Contamines in France, Courmayeur, Italy, and Verbier, Switzerland.

​Stay and Eat - Chamonix’s village is brimming with tons of stores, from designer boutiques to high performance outdoor gear shops. We recommend staying in the town of Chamonix, either in City Centre or Chamonix South. From these central location in the village you are within walking distance of all the amenities, gourmet dining, cool pubs and burger joints, plus easy access to shopping, nightlife, and the bus line to access the valley. For 5-star luxury digs our top recommendations are Hotel Mont-Blanc Chamonix and The Hameau Albert 1er Hotel with it's Michelin recommended dining. Both hotels offer complimentary shuttle service to all the valley ski areas. If you prefer to spread out in a nice apartment our favorite accommodation choice is Le Cristal de Jade Palace. Recently remodeled throughout, this feels more like a residence club than a hotel.
Some of our favorite restaurants in the town of Chamonix include: La Table, Le Panier Des 4 Saisons, La Telecabine, Le Matafan, Atmosphere, Munchie, Le Cap Horn, and La Maison Carrier. And for a killer burger, try Poco Loco. Slope-side, lots of choices at each ski area. Two of our favorites are at Grands Montets ski area - La Cremerie du Glacier and L'Argentero. Best to make reservations at all the restaurants. 
Private chalets and apartments: Many options, from luxury to economical spread throughout the valley.  Let us know your style and we'll make recommendations.
Getting Here - Just a 60 minute private car ride from Geneva International Airport. Great to combine with a stay in Geneva at one of our favorite lakeside hotels, or at other nearby resorts like Megeve and Verbier.
