Today’s lifestyle travelers demand “real” experiences, from immersion into local communities and cultures to personal access and privileges beyond the ordinary. Epicurean travel enthusiasts are no different as they seek to discover, in very personal terms, what makes a SuperTuscan wine super or the local gnocchi a knockout. For some this means hiring a private chef to cook the local favorites. For others it may involve learning how to cook like a local themselves.
BeautifulPlaces helps our guests fulfill their dreams of an immersive epicurean holiday; inviting them to experience some of the world’s finest food & wine destinations “like a native” from their homebase of a luxurious villa in Northern California wine country, France, Italy, and Mexico.
Our superb collection of villas range from sprawling mountaintop vineyard retreats, and tours de force of modern architecture to painstakingly restored farmhouses; stately contemporary homes and even large chateaux and villas. Our villas are located throughout Northern California wine country, the French regions of Bordeaux and Provence, and perennial favorites Tuscany, and the Amalfi Coast in Italy. The modern resort community of Punta Mita and the historic vacation destination of Puerto Vallarta are the settings for BeautifulPlaces’ Mexican portfolio.
