Slow Down<br />
with <strong>Citalia</strong>’s Personal Travel Planners<br />
We asked our expert Personal Travel Planners for their secret spots for a blissfully slow moment in Italy.<br />
Sorrento<br />
“A perfect place to relax after a busy<br />
day of sightseeing in Sorrento is the<br />
Fauno Bar, sitting directly on the Piazza<br />
Tasso. It’s a great spot for peoplewatching<br />
and enjoying a refreshing<br />
aperol spritz in the sunshine.”<br />
Lucia Burleston<br />
Personal Travel Planner<br />
Calabria<br />
“Whether you’ve been visiting the famous<br />
Riace Bronzes in Reggio or the spellbinding<br />
swordfishing village of Scilla for the day,<br />
be sure to sit down at sunset in a cliffside<br />
café at the edge of the historic centre<br />
of Tropea. Look across the white sandy<br />
beaches, the rock of Santa Maria dell Isola,<br />
and the island volcano of Stromboli as you<br />
tuck into nduja salami or the sweetest,<br />
world-famous red onions, and sip a glass<br />
of gaglioppo wine. It’s a unique experience<br />
that will stay with you forever.”<br />
Lake Maggiore<br />
“One of my favourite places to relax is<br />
the beautiful rooftop Sky Bar at Hotel<br />
La Palma in Lake Maggiore. Surrounded<br />
by a frame of 360° glass, the views over<br />
the lake are absolutely breathtaking,<br />
and are a real treat alongside a cocktail<br />
at the end of the day.”<br />

Sicily<br />
“Sicily is a destination that offers it all - from the<br />
busier tourist town of Taormina, to the charming<br />
hilltop town of Erice. It’s a region full of history,<br />
culture, and amazing food. Slow down your<br />
experience by sitting on your hotel terrace with a<br />
bottle of Sicilian wine. Relax and look at the beautiful<br />
coastline with Mount Etna as your backdrop!”<br />
Richie Howe<br />
Personal Travel Planner<br />
Puglia<br />
“When enjoying beautiful Puglia, be sure to spend an evening in<br />
the bustling whitewashed town of Ostuni. Beanbags are laid out<br />
in front of the bars on the windy paths and steps of this magical<br />
hilltop town, and you can sit back and enjoy a delicious cocktail<br />
while watching people go by, with a magnificent backdrop of the<br />
countryside and sea in the distance.”<br />
