Your hostsHi, we're Deb and Danelle, the wife-and-wife team behind Deb and Danelle. If you've followed us for a while, you know how much we love wandering through antique flea markets searching for those special treasures to add to our collections. We've always believed the best things in life are collected, shared and loved. We are now bringing that same spirit of adventure to Italy!
Just imagine experiencing Italy's treasures: spending golden afternoons at a Tuscan villa, taking a hands-on cooking class with a local family, looking out over the harbor in Portofino, and taking in Venice from a gondola. We'll be right there enjoying every moment with you, while Collette's expert team takes care of all the details. All you have to do is show up, soak it all in, and make some incredible memories with us.
From the Alpine lakes to the Ligurian coast, the heart of Tuscany and the canals of Venice.
Cruise across the lake to Isola dei Pescatori for a welcome dinner under the Alpine sky.
Lunch on famous cheese-filled focaccia, then lose yourself in Portofino's storybook harbor.
Ride off-road into the quarries where Michelangelo found the marble for his David.
A hands-on cooking class with a local family, then a Tuscan lunch with local Chianti. Salute!
The birthplace of the Renaissance, from the Duomo to the Uffizi, all yours to explore.
Glide to Murano to watch a glassblower at work, then toast at a farewell dinner on the water.
Deep in the Chianti countryside near Castellina, Villa Godenano becomes your home for four unhurried nights. A historic hilltop estate wrapped in vineyards and cypress, with box-hedge gardens, a swimming pool with views over the hills, and a centuries-old cellar where dinners are served among the barrels. This is where you unpack once, slow down and let Tuscany work its magic.
Tap any day to open it. Nineteen meals included: 10 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 5 dinners.
