The Best Road Trip in Italy You’ve Never Heard Of - AFAR
"A nine-room boutique palazzo transformed from a 19th-century villa into an intimate, film-minded retreat by a famous director and a noted French designer, it blends local history and luxe antiques with hand-painted frescoes, Murano chandeliers and marble floors; guests are welcomed in a sun-dappled central courtyard, served a signature Ciccio cocktail, and can stay in individually themed suites (including ornate and art‑deco options), relax in an elegant room with a Juliet balcony and clawfoot tub, and browse a curated film library of some 300 Italian art‑house titles — all conveyed with a strong sense of rootedness in the surrounding town and its ancient heritage." - Erica Firpo
