The best vacations for 60 year olds don't look that different from the vacations you might plan in your 40s or 50s. The main point of difference is that you might be able to spend a little more time in each destination, and without the restriction of trying to keep the whole family happy, affording you the freedom to explore at your own pace and really immerse yourself in the places you visit.
On June 3, for the first time since the country was plunged into one of Europe's strictest coronavirus lockdowns, Italy reopened its borders to international tourism. The Italian Minister of Health's official website reports that new cases of coronavirus have been dwindling daily since the country eased its stay-at-home orders in early May.
The ritual of greeting with a cheek kiss is indelibly etched in Italy's DNA. Traced as far back as the 5th century B.C., the cheek kiss gained widespread popularity in Roman times and was later practiced by the early Christians (deemed a way to transfer the Holy Spirit between the faithful), eventually morphing into a symbol of romantic love around the 11th century A.D.
A circus lion roamed the streets of Ladispoli for hours on Saturday, drawing attention to Italy's continued use of animals in entertainment and its public funding of circus activities.
After her husband, a descendant of Roman nobility who used the title of Prince, died in 2018, American-born Rita Jenrette Boncompagni Ludovisi became embroiled in a bitter dispute that ended last week in a court-ordered eviction.
With its local woodcarving crafts, rustic alpine foods, cozy chalets and postcard-like town squares, Ortisei is a dreamy destination village - whether ski season is ramping up or tapering off.
While social media's Roman Empire rumination craze may have run its course, we know true ancient Rome buffs are still out there and starved for new stimuli. If one of them is your significant other, read on.
A Michelin-starred chef in Piedmont recently got jail time and a hefty fine for serving contaminated clams at a wedding. We asked our Senior Recipe Writer Francine Segan how to avoid his mistakes.
Civitella del Lago's Museo Ovo Pinto exhibition is back for its 36th year, with elaborate painted eggs on display from Easter Sunday until May 1.
Spring in Italy is right around the corner! Here are some places to see the Bel Paese in peak bloom!
Take a carefree stroll with the one you love. These beautiful gardens are some of the most romantic in Italy.
The Feast of the Seven Fishes (AKA La Vigilia) is an Italian-American tradition in which families and friends gather on Christmas Eve to enjoy seven varied dishes of fish and seafood. On the menu you might find such briny delicacies as baccalà (salted cod), Cioppino (a classic San Francisco-style seafood stew), anchovies, octopus, shrimp, calamari (squid) and a variety of shellfish (mussels, clams, crab, etc.,).
Traveling to Orvieto? Then you'll want to have this handy insider's guide with you. I reached out to my friend Toni, who lives in Orvieto, and she has generously shared an impressive list of her favorites. I'll let her take it from here....
As February rolls around again, Carnival jubilation is in full swing. From Venice to Rio to New Orleans, we take a closer look at one of the world's most flamboyant and colorful festivals where (almost!) anything goes! The Origins of Carnival Carnival is an annual festival marked by celebratory street processions, music, dancing, and raucous reveling.
Umbria is the region of olive oil, salami, lentils, truffles, chocolate and honey - and its restaurants delight in making the most of the local produce. Just metres away from Assisi's main square, Osteria Piazzetta dell'Erba elevates cooking to fine art, with chef Matteo Bini presenting food that's equally pleasing to the eyes and the palate.
The Austrian region of Tirol is renowned for its skiing opportunities amongst the Alps, and its capital, Innsbruck, is set among them - book your stay with Culture Trip
It's hardly a secret that the Netherlands is home to the most bicycles per capita than anywhere else in the world. Statistics reveal that 17 million Dutch people own 22.5 million bicycles (1.3 bikes per resident) and there are upwards of 55,000 kilometres of bike lanes stretching from north to south and east to west....
If you spend enough time in Italy you'll inevitably hear someone asking: "Where is this Tuscia area we keep hearing about? Is it a village? A region? I've never heard of it before." Actually, Tuscia (also referred to as Etruria) is a historical landmass whose arm wraps around most of Tuscany , much of Umbria and parts of Lazio .
Yes, that Corleone, Sicily. Corleone is a characteristic mountain community 60 kilometers high above Palermo, Sicily. Its name infamously evokes images of the Mafia and in the late-sixties, the town's reputation was further immortalized as the setting for Mario Puzo's best-selling novel The Godfather (Il Padrino) and later by Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 Oscar winning film of the same name.
The picturesque region of Umbria is one of most popular destinations in Italy for a lot of reasons. It has a spectacular array of medieval towns, verdant hills (they don't call it 'The Green Heart of Italy' for nothing), and earthy, mouth-watering cuisine that often highlights seasonal, foraged specialties like mushrooms, wild asparagus, and truffles .
What would it have been like to live next door to an Etruscan? Etruscans were short in stature but long on engineering and cultural sophistication. They were adept at making wine, perfected the terracotta potter's wheel, and were stellar metalworkers.
(...continued from here) Women's Liberation, B.C. In Etruscan society, women were respected and fully engaged in their community. You might say Etruria was the first "community property state"; women owned land and homes just as men did.
Each Pentecost Sunday for centuries, a large crowd gathers in the courtyard of the Duomo d'Orvieto to celebrate the Festa della Palombella (a previous IN note). Despite the condemnation of animal rights advocates, a dove is placed in a plexiglass "space capsule" and launched on a zip-line across the Piazza.
The region of Romagna literally "has it all": Majestic mountains, dynamic wetlands and rugged coastline. I've been living in Italy for a quite a while now, but for the life of me I can't explain why I hadn't been to Romagna before!
Lamberto Bernardini’s papermaking studio sits very near where Orvieto’s commanding cathedral casts its afternoon shadow. I came to meet with Lamberto and learn about traditional carta marmorizzata (marbled paper), but what I got in the bargain was a compelling narration of the history of paper from its ancient roots through its tragic introduction into Europe, to today’s resurgence of paper as an art form. Pestilence! Famine, Death! Who would have thought that paper, a seemingly benign...
Evidence of marbled paper has never been found in China, but authentication of the oldest known method of “floating paper” was discovered to have existed in Japan in 825 C.E. 17th Century travelers to the Middle East brought back examples of marbled papers and adapted the art for book covers, endpapers and lining for chests and shelves. The art continued to develop in Persia and Ottoman Turkey with the foremost marbled paper method, Ebru, dating back to the 19th Century. Turkish paper played...
January 7, 2013 / Events Monterubiaglio, Umbria ... old woman with candy! Very similar to the more well-known Italian holiday tradition of La Befana, on the eve of the Epiphany (January 5) La Vecchiarella, "the little old crone" historically played by a man, visits homes in the rural Umbrian borgo of Monterubiaglio.
How did I, an admitted non-foodie, get myself mixed up with a blog tour all about cuisine? Just lucky, I guess. This tour, sponsored by The Emilia Romagna Region Tourist Board in collaboration with Michelin Guide Italian Restaurants 2017, was an eye-opening romp through a region considered one of the great food meccas of the world.
Just as the ancient ruins of Rome paint a picture of what life was like inside the Aurelian walls thousands of years ago, venturing outside the historical center offers a fresh perspective and insight into what makes this modern metropolis tick. The Eternal City's characteristicneighborhoods represent the many facets of urban contemporary life, Roman style.
In Italian, terracotta artisan Alberto Bellini’s cognome (family name) can be loosely translated to mean “little beauties”. It’s really the perfect moniker for the proprietor of La Corte dei Miracoli (Court of Miracles), the Orvieto shop where since 1990 this craftsman has been meticulously moulding, carving and forming his clay creations by hand.
A revolution has been brewing for almost a decade on the Piazza Navona. Millions arrive to see Bernini's magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers and to stroll around, perhaps hoping to acquire an original picture of a Roman scene painted and signed by the artist in front of them.
He has kept company with movie stars, famous athletes, powerful politicians and royalty. Children adore him but dogs are a little intimidated by his strength and confidence. His charm and power draw beautiful women to him - they vie for a chance to stand next to him, but he prefers that they resist the urge to touch his hair.
Possessing deep Roman and Medieval roots, the village of Portico di Romagna is nestled in the Apennine mountain range, halfway between Ravenna to the north and Florence to the south and west. This tiny borgo (hamlet) boasts around 400 residents and is one of 3 distinct settlements making up the municipality of 'Portico e San Benedetto'.
Italy's northern region of Emila-Romagna is divided into nine provinces starting at Piacenza at the northwest point and spanning east to Rimini on the Adriatic Sea. Romagna is situated on the "right side" of this hyphenated territory, geographically divided from Emilia by the Sillaro and Reno rivers.
Wintertime is Carnevale time in Italy. Although dates change every year, the holiday always coincides with the Christian calendar, commencing 40 days before Easter with the fun and frolicking ending on Fat Tuesday (Martedi Grasso) - one day before the start of Lent.
Delicate and unique, Majolica Italian ceramics are world-renowned for their intricate hand painted motifs and lustrous glazes. The origin of this uniquely Italian artisan craft can be traced all the way back to the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, the sophisticated earthenware has graced the tables of the aristocracy of Europe and the rich and famous.
One of the best things about traveling abroad is the endless opportunities there are to experience different cultures "up-close-and personal". Touring historical sites and visiting museums is only part of the experience. For a taste of Italy's rich culture and glimpse of daily life, visit one of the many open-air markets in Italy.
It is my humble opinion that there is NO bad time to come to Rome, however, on the top of my list for visiting the Eternal City is at Christmas time!
Guest post & photos by Toni DeBella In my everyday life I am somewhat of an "over-planner". I like to know when and where I am going far in advance. However, when it comes to spending an afternoon in Rome, ...
Just as it happened nearly 750 years ago, on the night of June 1, a group of about one hundred individuals gathered together for the solemn Marcia della Fede (March of Faith), the traditional pilgrimage from Bolsena to Orvieto first made in the 13 th century.
When friends are planning a trip to Italy they often ask me the question: Should we rent a car and drive while we're visiting? My rhetorical question in response is always: Are you insane? You have to understand that I'm a great big sissy when it comes to getting behind the wheel of a car in Italy, therefore I'm not very comfortable recommending it to others.
Italians use the term mangiare bene which literally means "to eat well". But along with referring to a meal of flavor and value, it also suggests a savored time surrounded by friends and loved ones while consuming fresh, whole, seasonal and regional products.
San Francisco is the entrepreneur's dream - a big metropolis mentality with a small town sensibility. Neighborhoods are the soul of this European-style City by the Bay and with a plethora of intimate bistros around town it's not difficult to find the perfect haunt for writing the great American novel, blogging up a storm, or launching the next big start up sensation.
April 17, 2013 / Events Orvieto, Umbria A Freelance writer and blogger at Orvieto or Bust, Toni recently packed everything she owns into two suitcases and headed to Orvieto, Italy. She's adjusted her tennis game to the clay courts and drinks way too many caffe lattes.
All roads may lead to Rome but not all streets in Rome are created equal. In this ancient, convoluted, enchanting, twisted mass of boulevards, tiny lanes and mini piazzas, one could roam around on foot for days and never see the same street twice.
In this era of modern Italian coffee bars with free Wi-Fi, blasting music videos and blindingly bright florescent lighting, Scarponi Pasticceria is a little piece of heaven.
Gourmet food truck fever is sweeping the urban foodie scene in full force and San Francisco is on its cutting edge. Off the Grid, a weekly event at the city's Fort Mason Center parking lot is the perfect example of a roving dining experience of epicurean proportions.
Vanilla or chocolate? Pizza or pasta? Rome or Florence? I got to thinking about the connections we form and how our preferences are shaped - from the foods we like to the type of environments we place ourselves. Sometimes we meet a person and know immediately whether or not we like them.
Sunny Lisbon's port of entry is situated along the Rio Tejo River where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. One of the hottest travel destinations in the world, Lisbon welcomes approximately 18 million visitors a year arriving by air, rail, and sea.
"Polar bears do it, penguins do it, even crazy Roman residents do it..." It was 1946 when Rick De Sonay, a former Belgian Olympic diver looking for work as a stuntman, decided that plunging from the Cavour Bridge in Rome at midnight on New Year's Eve might draw attention to his job search efforts.
Each June, the city is buzzing with excitement and anticipation. Everyone is out in full force, enthusiastically preparing for this most important celebration for Orvietani specifically, and for the Roman Catholic world most particularly.
Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, the Pyramids of Giza, Mecca. All mystical and sacred places where one can find peace in their solitude and beauty. Add the Anello della Rupe (Ring of the rock/cliff/outcropping) to the list: a walking-trail that runs around the volcanic rock on which the town of Orvieto is perched. It’s only a few meters below the city center, yet it’s a world away.
Hotel Reviews
Owning sweeping countryside vistas, Il Ghiottone Umbro sits alongside a rock wall at the base of Todi - a hilltop town smack dab in Italy's geographic centre. It's a four-minute walk to rotund Tempio di Santa Maria della Consolazione church and a gentle climb up to town.
The hotel's plum location, situated within walking distance of much of the city's glossy shopping streets, means there's no end to the potential for dining, drinking, and revelling. A few paces from the lobby you'll come across the lane leading to Roman emperor Tiberius' lavish Villa Jovis (a steep, 30-minute climb).
It's located directly on the water's edge in a calm and serene part of the island, yet the hotel also places you right in the thick of things. It's a short walk up the road from bustling Marina Grande; Capri town, with its wealth of swanky boutiques and glittery nightlife, is 15 minutes' drive.
Lofting so high above the iconic Faraglioni pinnacles that you can almost reach out and touch them, five-star Hotel Punta Tragara is a masterpiece of million-dollar views and 1920s sophistication. The hotel holds a special place in Capri's illustrious and storied past. By hydrofoil from Naples to Capri's port, Marina Grande takes 50 minutes.
Five-star Hotel Casa Morgano offers a taste of old-world sophistication set along a pine and cypress tree-lined pathway to the sea, gazing out over exquisite terraced gardens and onto the azure waters of the Mediterranean.
Mere yards from the Piazzetta - the picturesque square and arrival point of the funicular from the seaport - the hotel stands in the middle of the action, putting you within easy walking distance of exclusive boutiques and happening bistro cafés. In a world where new is better, the hotel's devotion to its venerable roots is refreshing.
Sandwiched between Certosa di San Giacomo, a 14th-century Carthusian monastery, and the botanical Gardens of Augustus, Hotel Luna's unrivalled location makes not just for lofty vistas of sea and sky, but also affords a certain measure of seclusion. Then again, if you came to Capri for its la dolce vita street scene, the centre of town is only minutes away.
There are advantages and disadvantages to a guesthouse that can only be reached on foot. The one-mile trudge from a car park to an ascending footbridge up to the centre of town while dragging a suitcase is an obvious downside.
The beauty of this hotel is its seclusion. It is a bit of an uphill jaunt but perfectly positioned for the 45-minute trek to neo-classical Villa Lysis and Roman-era Villa Jovis (built by emperor Tiberius in 27 AD).
Along a secluded country road in a corner of Umbria considered the region's most beautiful, Roccafiore boasts stunning panoramas of verdant hillsides and an unobstructed, fairytale vista of Todi, three miles (five kilometres) in the distance.
Just a few minutes outside the medieval hill town of Orvieto yet far enough afield to feel you're a world away. Altarocca is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside, or for hiding out for a while.
The secluded and four-star boutique Hotel Canasta offers terrific island views, with a sun-soaked lounge space encircling the swimming pool and an elegant restaurant right next door. Hotel Canasta sits inconspicuously below street level and faces out to the sea. It's located in one of Capri's quieter areas, yet it's just a seven-minute walk from the island's liveliest square.
Situated at the edge of the less glitzy village of Anacapri, almost anything you wish to do or see is within five to 10 minutes' walk from the hotel. Explore Villa San Michele and gardens, the life's work of Swedish physician Axel Munthe, or take a ride up the chairlift to the summit of Mount Solaro.
Tucked in an alleyway on the western end of town, Ripa Medici is well positioned for exploring Orvieto on foot. It's seven minutes' walk from Piazza del Duomo with its splendid 14th-century cathedral and a plethora of shops, restaurants and museums. The city's historical significance and urban appeal make it more than a passing fancy on the way to somewhere else, but if you must, Rome, Florence and Assisi are easy journeys by train or car.
On a quiet side street, the b&b is a five-minute stroll from Arezzo's imposing cathedral, the splendid frescoes in Basilica of St Francis and Parco Il Prato gardens. Venture a bit further to trapezium-shaped Piazza Grande, the site of Arezzo's monthly antiques fair. Or meander past swanky shops and fashionable restaurants along Corso Italia.
Nestled on a sloping hillside 10 minutes outside the city walls, La Badia di Orvieto is strategically situated between Rome and Florence; both less than two hours away by car or train. The hotel is minutes from the railway station and 37 miles/60km from the healing waters of Terme dei papi in Viterbo.
From Marina Grande, where ferries dock from Naples and the Amalfi Coast, it's a three-minute funicular railway ride up to La Piazzetta, Capri town's main square. From here, you'll make the eight-minute stroll somewhat off the beaten path to La Scalinatella's front door.
For sheer location, Hotel Virgilio is hard to beat. It has the enviable position of being the only hotel facing the city's famous Gothic duomo (cathedral), plus it's only a minute's walk from the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and the Etruscan Museum 'Claudio Faina'.
What better place to explore Capri than from the hotel's prime real estate on a quiet backstreet, 10 minute's walk from the Piazzetta - a prime spot for celebrity watchers. Even if you haven't got a fashionista bone in your body, you might be tempted along trendy Via Camerelle, just a stone's throw up the road.
The approach, on a nondescript road past ramshackle structures, does nothing to hint of the beautiful oasis within. While the peripheral location ensures peacefulness and solitude, the downside is it's a hoof up to town (about 10 minutes).
Atop a meandering road less than 15 minutes from Orvieto's centre, offering the best of both worlds: seclusion and proximity to city conveniences. An enchanting borgo, Rocca Ripesena is near wineries and sought-after destinations, such as Civita di Bagnoregio (17 miles/27 km) and Lake Bolsena (15 miles/24 km).

It was July of 1988, and in commemoration of the birth of my son, I planted a small fuchsia bougainvillea in a planter just under our front window. The vine was scrawny and spindly, and the few flowers on it had fallen off, leaving only a sad green twig in the ground.

House Hunters International finds the best houses in Italy...again! ... Orvieto or Bust. July 9 ... A travel writer takes her last shot at starting over in Orvieto, Italy.
Moving abroad isn't exclusively for students or childless people. It's an adventure for all ages. Toni DeBella moved to Orvieto, Italy once her son was grown, proving that new dreams can always be made.
On this week’s episode {ORVIETO}, we catch up with two Americans living in the tiny central Italian town of Orvieto—two expats whom we interviewed for the first time back in 2014. Toni De Bella (Episode 34: Venture) moved to Orvieto in 2012 alone after raising her son. Linda Martinez (Episode 33: Parents) is the owner of The Beehive Hostel in Rome; she’s been in Italy for most of the past few decades, but she and her husband Steve Brenner decided to settle in Orvieto with their three...
