Our Favourite Experiences on Luxury Villa Holidays

Horse Riding at Villa Arrighi, Umbria, Italy

Private horse riding lesson or hack around the spectacular Umbrian estate of an Italian count. Take out one of the count’s private horses for an escorted tour of the vast estate and get off the beaten track to explore the unfathomably beautiful rolling hills of Umbria on horseback. One of the best and most unique holiday experiences you can enjoy.

Truffle Hunting at Villa Piantaverna, Umbria, Italy

A gastronomic experience you’ll never forget is heading out into the Umbrian hillsides with an experienced ‘hunter’ and their dog to search for the elusive truffles or go foraging for wild mushrooms and wild asparagus.

Italian Cooking Lessons at Villa Barco, Umbria, Italy

Learn to make pasta the old-fashioned way with a private cooking lesson from the chef at your Italian villa. Great fun for adults and kids alike, you can pick up some tips to make authentic Italian cuisine, and of course, you get to enjoy the results at the end. It’s a unique holiday experience that will leave a lasting legacy of Italian cuisine in your family.

Wine Tours at Villa Il Borro, Tuscany, Italy

What trip to Tuscany is complete without a trip to a vineyard and wine producer? Stay at the breathtaking Villa Il Borro, Ferragamo’s estate and former home, and take an escorted tour around the property’s vineyards and winery. Learn about the subtleties of the regional flavours and of course, taste the fabulous wines.

Experience Rare Elements of Rome at Villa di Roma, Rome, Italy

If you are thinking of a city break but want it to be really special, stay at the luxurious Villa di Roma in central Rome. There is nowhere else like it, the place in itself is a truly unique holiday experience. Set in a peaceful park just moments from the city centre, the villa manager can create an itinerary of fantastic experiences you never forget.

From a guided ‘behind the scenes’ tour of some of Rome’s greatest monuments, to creating your very own ice cream at one of the city’s oldest and finest ice cream shops or indulging in some retail therapy with a personal shopper to escort you to all the best designer boutiques and help you pick out that something special.

And if shopping is not your thing, how about exploring the eternal city from behind the wheel of a classic Alfa Romeo, Ferrari or Fiat 500?

Race Dune Buggies to Your Private Beach at Villa Ani, Anguilla, Caribbean Islands

My personal favourite unique holiday experience is racing dune buggies. Guys vs girls in matching blue and pink dune buggies, tearing across the horizon of paradise, along empty roads leading from a pair of the most gorgeous villas in Anguilla, set on a private estate. You arrive at the beach and drift on the dunes, laughing with pure joy as the sun bakes the crystal-clear ocean.

That’s just part of your adventure here, you can take the yacht for a spin, indulge in watersports, cliff-top tennis and much more. Then, when you’ve worked up an appetite, your beach butlers will fire up the BBQ and treat you all to the finest, freshest Caribbean food.
