The Tuscany of Your Dreams—From the Queen of Italy’s Best-Kept Secrets
A Phenomenal Edition—meet HBO’s Italy consultant for The White Lotus and Succession
Welcome to a very special Tuscany edition of The Relisher! This week, I met Emily FitzRoy—founder and CEO of Bellini Travel, and a world-leading expert on Italy. Emily founded Bellini over 25 years ago, creating a highly exclusive and personal way to travel and entertain in Italy.
She’s been named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s Top Travel Specialists for Italy every year since 2017, and is, quite simply, the queen of the best that Italy has to offer. Most recently, she served as HBO’s consultant on The White Lotus, Succession, and Stanley Tucci’s new series, Tucci in Italy.
Once in a while, I meet someone who reminds me exactly why I love what I do. One of the greatest joys of writing this newsletter is connecting with fascinating people who hold a treasure chest of insight you won’t find anywhere else. Emily is one of them. Our conversation was the kind that makes you want to book a trip to Tuscany immediately.
Below, Emily shares her favorite restaurants, wineries, hotels, unique shops, and more across Tuscany. This edition is a real gem, filled with fabulous recommendations you truly won’t find anywhere else.
