Hera Italian Escapes

I love exploring the Italian countryside through the seasons; biking, hiking and skiing in the mountains.

Whilst journeying through Italy I have been fortunate to discover the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Dolomites. My hotel of choice is The Fanes in San Cassino, offering a sanctuary of serenity and sport with unparalleled views and golden light bathing over the epic mountains.

Exploring the hillside retreats of Umbria, the ultimate haven of style and curation is the 1000 year old family estate of Castello di Reschio. A place with its own intrinsic history and extraordinary magical setting of natural beauty and every comfort possible in the wilderness.

Delving into the Tuscan history for a city break with style and taste I have been spell bound by the converted 14th century monastery of La Certosa di Maggiano, a serene setting with stunning decoration originating from design master Renzo Mongiardino.
