Ciao,

It’s Andrew here — writing to you with a cappuccino in hand and a mind full of sunshine. Maria and I have just come back from a few days on the road, and as always, Italy worked its magic on us.

If you’ve been dreaming of a trip that goes a little deeper — places that feel lived-in, loved, and a little off the tourist treadmill —I’ve got a few treasures to share with you this month and a little about Naples, a city where many fear to tread.

Naples: A City That Surprised Me



I’ll be honest — I used to be wary of Naples. But now? I can’t wait to go back. It’s raw, real, and full of heart. The food alone is worth the trip (Maria says she’s still dreaming of that pizza), and the neighborhoods are a world unto themselves.

If you’ve ever wondered where to stay in Naples, I’ve written a guide based on what I’d recommend to a friend. From charming corners near the sea to bustling spots full of Neapolitan energy — it's all here:

Vasto: A Seaside Town with a Soul



Have you heard of Vasto? Most haven’t. And that’s exactly why it’s so special.

We discovered it by accident years ago, and now it’s one of our favorite seaside escapes. Clifftop views, golden beaches, family-run trattorias… it’s the kind of place where time slows down (even William puts his phone away!).

If you're looking for an alternative to the usual beach towns, I think you'll fall in love too:

Why Italy Still Moves Us



People often ask me why Maria and I started writing about Italy. The answer is simple: we couldn’t keep it to ourselves. Italy has a way of getting under your skin — not just with its beauty, but with its rhythm, its warmth, and its people.

Maria shared the full story here.



Wherever this newsletter finds you — dreaming, planning, or already packing — I hope it brings a bit of Italy’s magic into your day. As always, feel free to reply. I love hearing about your own Italian adventures (and yes, I do read every email!).

From our family to yours, warmest wishes, Maria, William, and Andrew
