Watching Dua Lipa and Callum Turner honeymoon their way across Italy this summer inspired a very specific kind of envy — not for the impossibly beautiful hotels, but for the itinerary itself. Rather than racing between big cities, the newlyweds lingered in elegant villages where lunch melts into aperitivo hour and then into sunset.
It raises the question of where the world’s most stylish travellers actually go in Italy. The answers aren’t always the obvious ones.
Yes, there’s Capri and Positano — and Stanley Tucci has professed his love of Ischia — but the list also runs to quiet corners of Tuscany and Alpine towns that only die-hard skiers know.
The common thread is unhurried glamour: places built for lingering rather than ticking off, where the point of the trip is to slow down and stay a while.
