"Dream Vacation to Italy"

This vacation surpassed everything I imagined it to be. The hotel was wonderful with delicious meals. Lorenzo was an amazing guide and Gian Franco was a great driver. I am very happy!

This was our first CDV, not knowing what to expect, we were completely amazed with the experience. Awesome people, new friends, great food & wine and an incrediblely knowledgeable and genuine guide.

Not only is the Amalfi Coast stunningly beautiful and the hosts amazingly attentive, the people CDV attracts are personality plus, so you're guaranteed to have a good time.

First of all to travel with my two adult daughters was pretty special, and too have it be a monumental birthday gift as well. I loved all the things we did on our trip.

the experience got off to a delightful start with mattia meeting us at the airport and making us feel welcomed right away. we were wisked off to Tuscany and the adventure began.

The welcoming kisses on the cheeks, the feeling of love for their country and people, the amazing food and cooking classes, the music and musicians were unexpected and heartwarming.

"One of our best vacation"

We meet a great group of people from other guest to host. We saw beautiful places, laughed a lot, ate great food and enjoyed the wine.

"Discovering Italy through Soriano Nel Cimino"

A Culture Discovery Vacation is no ordinary tour experience. The Soriano culinary trip was an incredible journey delving into Italy's soul from "dolce far niente" to celebrating "la dolce vita".

"First Time with CDV"

From our hosts (Michael and Paulo) to our guide for the week (Lorenzo) we could not have had a better time. All of the family at the Villa made for a fantastic week. We will be back for more memories.

"Top 5 holidays of all time"

I have been to the town of Soriano before (2024 with CDV) but this time I got to see Soriano in the middle of their festival which was amazing to see the town come alive.

"Beautiful wine regions of Northern Italy"

I would write this as one of our best vacations ever!! The intimate experiences we were provided would never come from doing your own tour of these regions of Italy.
