Meet an eclectic, diverse crowd. Feel the romance of untouched landscapes and stark glamour. Discover the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome. Be as unconquered as Aspen Mountain to withstand climate change.
Capri Dolce Vita
Capri. A destination full of ancient charm, dating back to the Roman Empire. The best way to heal your physical and mental wounds in the fresh and clean air, as prescribed by Axel Munthe.
Travel back in time to meet literary icons, celebrities and poets, or admire the rich Mediterranean spirit of the island, where every inch is filled with incredible beauty. Сapri is the place that legends tell about.
Sounds appealing? Read the book and you'll see: it doesn't have the Bunin’s ending, and even if you’re from San Francisco, you won’t feel like a gentleman from there.

Welcome back to Italy. From an impressive island to the stunning Lake Como in the Alps. Get away from your daily routine full of rushing and concerns. You are here to enjoy a mystical old fashion and lazy days by the lake.

See the revived painting of Samuel Prout. Visit the lakeside villas that Plinius Secundus called “the Tragedy” and “the Comedy”.
Imagine yourself being Percy Shelley, who once wrote: «This lake exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty, with the exception of the Arbutus Islands of Killarney. It is long and narrow, and has the appearance of a mighty river winding among the mountains and the forests».
