Enjoy exclusive, out-of-hours access to two remarkable architectural works: the most intimate way to experience Luis Barragán’s legacy.

You meet your Barragán expert at Casa Estudio Barragán, the architect’s own residence. Completed in 1948, it’s a composition of color, light, shadow. The home feels like a living artwork and still hold Barragán’s furniture, tools and the quiet he designed for himself. It remains the only private residence in Latin America designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Casa Gilardi, from 1976, was Barragán’s final masterpiece. Built around a jacaranda tree, the house embodies his belief that architecture should inspire emotion and contemplation. It distills a lifetime of vision into a poetic structure where modern geometry meets spiritual calm.

At both locations, enjoy a private tour during hours reserved solely for you—a unique way to experience the spaces in tranquility. A lunch featuring classic and inventive Mexican flavors completes the experience.

Luis Barragán’s architecture responded to the cold rationalism of Modernism with vivid color, emotion, and light. Deeply influenced by the Mexican landscape and tradition, his work evokes spirituality through walls, water, and silence.

This experience allows you to visit two of his most celebrated houses at a time reserved entirely for you, led by an expert who has worked closely with these properties for many years. You’ll be able to move at your own pace and dig deep into Barragán’s influences — how he insisted that architecture must express serenity and transformed materials into spaces of grace and reflection.

This experience has a 10-day booking cut-off period to provide exclusive access outside public hours. Lunch with Andrea follows the visits — a relaxed opportunity to reflect with a seasoned art curator on what you’ve seen, and to talk about Mexico City’s art and architecture scene, from exhibitions to restaurants and contemporary design projects.

Greece

This experience dives into Santorini’s culinary roots through its three signature PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) ingredients: sun-dried grapes, yellow split peas (or fava in Greek), and volcanic cherry tomatoes. You'll begin on a volcanic soil farm, where fava and tomatoes still grow the traditional way, shaped by wind, ash, and water scarcity.

Next, you'll head to a historic, family-run winery to discover how vines are trained close to the ground, following techniques that date back generations. Here, you’ll taste the island’s signature wines and learn how the volcanic terrain lends them their unmistakable minerality and depth.

Finally, you’ll sit down for a light, meze-style lunch at a traditonal Greek taverna or family market eatery, where each dish highlights these three humble ingredients. Along the way, you’ll meet growers and makers keeping this island’s culinary heritage alive, gaining a deeper understanding of how land, technique, and taste are inseparable here.

This experience reveals how three simple ingredients — fava, cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried grapes — tell the story of Santorini itself. Shaped by volcanic ash, fierce winds, and the scarcity of water, these crops have long defined the island’s agriculture and cuisine.

You’ll gain rare insight into how working with the land here has always meant adapting to harsh conditions—and turning them into strength.

Thanks to Maria’s deep ties to the community, you’ll visit places where these ingredients are still grown, prepared, and served with pride. Her local connections open the door to producers who share their knowledge with honesty and warmth, offering a taste of their food and a glimpse into their daily lives.

Likely meaning “place of coyotes,” Coyoacán was originally a village founded by the Tepanec people in pre-Columbian times. In 1521, it became the first capital of ‘New Spain’ and remained a settlement distinct from Mexico City until the 1850s. Now located in the south of Mexico City (CDMX), Coyoacán is perhaps best known today for being the home of the Frida Kahlo Museum and the impressive colonial-era architecture.

The tour will take you through the narrow streets of the “Barrio de Santa Catarina,” where it is possible to find multiple houses of colonial architecture, plazas, cultural centers, markets, and cafes that are rarely visited by regular tourists to the area.

This ceramics experience takes place just outside the adobe town of San Pedro de Atacama, in a quiet natural setting with views of volcanoes and the Martian-like plains of the world’s driest desert. A short 10-minute drive brings you to the outdoor workshop site, where host Antonia welcomes you with all the materials needed to create your own stoneware piece using ancestral Atacameño clay.

Throughout the session, you’ll shape a personal keepsake inspired by the desert’s landscapes, plants, and animals—guided by Antonia, who shares insights into the cultural and historical roots of ceramics in the Atacama region. The workshop encourages a slower, more mindful engagement with place and craft.

No previous ceramics experience is needed; Antonia offers step-by-step support. Afterward, your piece will be glazed and kiln-fired, then shipped to your preferred address. The session also includes a light breakfast shared with your host Antonia in this striking desert setting.

Set in the untamed Salt Mountain Range, nature sparks creativity and quiet reflection, while the surrounding silence deepens your connection to the landscape. Antonia has spent the past five years learning from the Licarantai community—studying their traditions and understanding the geological significance of the territory. During the workshop, she shares what she’s learned about this Indigenous group and how their reverence for Pachamama is expressed through their relationship with the land and their crafts.

Antonia works with a type of clay unique to San Pedro de Atacama—formulated by her through adaptations of the ancestral clay once favored by the Licarantai people for its resilience. This clay carries a distinct hue and holds the essence of the world’s driest desert. As she guides you through the process, Antonia shares how each part of the practice—from sourcing the earth to shaping the form—is a quiet act of reciprocity and respect for Pachamama.

Rovinj invites slowness. It’s a town best explored on fork or glass in hand, with time to stop—often. This three-day itinerary offers a thoughtful pace through its stone-lined alleys, seaside kitchens, and sun-drenched vineyards, where each experience feels close to the land, and closer still to the people who live by it.

Your journey begins in Rovinj’s Old Town, a maze of worn steps and cascading homes perched above the Adriatic. Mornings are for wandering the harbor and watching the rhythms of the fishing boats; midday leads you to the local market, where seasonal produce and handmade cheeses speak to Istria’s generous soil. In the afternoon, a boat ride through Lim Fjord adds contrast—quiet water, steep cliffs, and stillness that settles in.

Day two is dedicated to flavor and touch. “A Kitchen Among Olive Trees” is more than a cooking class—it’s a full-sensory dive into Istrian culinary culture, hosted by locals with deep knowledge of land, oil, and tradition. The afternoon brings you to St. Euphemia Church, where a climb to the bell tower reveals sweeping views of sea, rooftops, and sky—a quiet reward before another intimate dinner.

The final day pulls you inland. A full-day wine experience takes you to Rovinj’s vineyards, where crisp whites and deep reds are poured beside vineyard paths and old cellars. It’s a generous and slow-moving day, designed for both learning and tasting. You’ll close with one last look at the fjord, a soft light setting over the water as you reflect on days well spent.

This is an invitation to pause, cook, sip, and look closely. Rovinj rewards travelers who resist the rush.

Slow Days in Rovinj

3-day itinerary in Rovinj exploring coastal streets, Istrian cuisine, olive groves, and local wines.

United States

This Milan itinerary is sleek, elegant, and curated — the perfect expression of Milanese sophistication across architecture, design, fashion, and food. It’s about Milan as it’s truly lived: designed, composed, and always in conversation with its past and future.

Milan is precision with personality—a city where modern lines meet Renaissance texture, and where fashion, architecture, and food are expressions of the same pursuit: style with substance. This three-day itinerary moves through that balance with intent, beginning in the geometry and vision of Gio Ponti’s architectural legacy. From the Pirelli Tower to lesser-known gems, the morning reveals how Milan’s skyline was shaped not just by ambition, but by design thinking.

The afternoon shifts to the Navigli District—Leonardo da Vinci’s hand in its canals, but today, the flow belongs to artists, gallery owners, and baristas. You’ll wander cobbled paths, stop for an aperitivo, and settle into a slow dinner at Osteria Conchetta, where Milanese cuisine is served without pretense but full of detail.

Day two leaves the city for the lakes. A curated visit to Lake Como weaves together water, stone, and stillness. At Villa del Balbianello and through the towns of Como and Bellagio, nature is never separate from design—it’s framed by it. This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s about atmosphere. Scale, silence, villas on cliffs. Beauty at rest.

On your final day, the focus returns to Milan with a walk through Brera. Here, art meets appetite—small galleries, curated boutiques, and a lunch scene that respects tradition while playing with it. The afternoon brings you to Castello Sforzesco and its layered museums, followed by a pause in Sempione Park—green space as counterbalance. And finally: dinner at Tartufotto, where truffle meets elegance in the heart of the city.

Milan in Form and Flair

3-day itinerary in Milan with Gio Ponti's landmarks, Lake Como villas, Brera art, truffle-laced food

Cappadocia stirs the imagination long before you arrive. This three-day journey is for travelers who crave striking landscapes, cultural depth, and light that feels almost sacred. It’s a place to move slowly, wake early, and let the elements of stone, sky, and craft tell their story. Over three immersive days, you’ll explore the region’s most iconic sites with local guides, from fairy chimneys and underground cities to artisans’ studios and balloon-filled skies.
DAY 1 – FAIRY CHIMNEYS AND NORTHERN VALLEYS | Begin your journey with a full-day guided tour through the heart of northern Cappadocia. You’ll wander through the whimsical formations of Göreme, step into ancient rock-cut dwellings, and explore the pottery traditions of Avanos. The day unfolds through valleys shaped by wind and time, where geological wonders meet human history. It’s a grounded and wide-angle introduction to a land shaped by fire, air, and hands.
DAY 2 – BALLOONS, CRAFT, AND SUNSET | Rise before dawn to meet the golden light. At sunrise, a local photographer leads you through a peaceful valley as hot air balloons drift silently above, casting shadows over cave walls and soft ridges. After a slow breakfast, spend the late morning immersed in Cappadocia’s artisan traditions, from carpet weaving to marbling, guided by makers in Avanos. In the evening, as the landscape glows in blue hour tones, return to the hills for a photography walk across the Red Valley, capturing the shift from day to night.
DAY 3 – UNDERGROUND CITIES AND THE SOUTH | Your final day dives deep—both literally and historically. A guided day trip takes you south, into the vast subterranean cities that once sheltered entire populations. From there, you’ll move through Pigeon Valley and the quiet streets of Ortahisar, where everyday life moves to ancient rhythms. The afternoon leads you through the soft palette of the Rose and Red Valleys, closing the journey with views that feel both geological and emotional in their weight.
WHERE TO STAY IN CAPPADOCIA | Most travelers base themselves in Göreme or Uçhisar, two villages with easy access to sunrise viewpoints and valley hikes. Göreme is lively and central, with cave hotels tucked into the cliffs, while Uçhisar offers a quieter pace and panoramic views. If you’re seeking charm, walkability, and good access to experiences, either makes a beautiful base—just be sure to book early, especially if you’re hoping to see balloons from your terrace. Most boutique hotels in both Göreme and Uçhisar offer on-site dining or are a short walk from local restaurants serving Anatolian dishes. For a quiet end to the day, many travelers enjoy dinner on their hotel terrace after the evening light fades.

La Serenissima to Modern Milan

10-day itinerary in Italy through Venice, Bologna, Milan, a mix of culture, cuisine, scenic beauty.

Naples is a city of rhythm and resilience, where beauty rises from beneath the surface and daily life unfolds with theatrical ease. Over three days, this journey moves through its many layers — from ancient tunnels and hillside monasteries to ceramic studios along the Amalfi Coast. Designed for travelers who crave both insight and spontaneity, it blends guided experiences that reveal the city’s soul with time for slow lunches, scenic drives, and quiet dinners. Each moment anchors you in Naples’ living history — a place shaped as much by artistry as by endurance.

DAY 1 – HILLS AND MARKETS | Your first morning begins with Naples Between Hills & Markets, a guided walking tour with Michele Carneglia that traces the city from its upper terraces down to its beating heart. You’ll wander through monastic courtyards and artisans’ workshops, learning how faith, art, and everyday life intertwine across centuries. The path ends among lively market streets, where stories mingle with the scent of espresso and local produce. After a relaxed lunch, enjoy a slower afternoon exploring the historic center before ending with a simple dinner in a traditional osteria, surrounded by tiled walls and neighborhood chatter.

DAY 2 – UNDERGROUND AND HANDMADE | Begin the day with The Belly of Naples, Michele’s guided exploration beneath the city’s streets. Within the ancient aqueducts and passageways of San Lorenzo Maggiore, you’ll uncover layers of civilization — Roman foundations, medieval walls, and traces of faith and myth that still shape the city’s character. Afterward, head south for a leisurely lunch near the ruins of Pompeii before continuing along the coast to Vietri sul Mare. There, local artisan Elvira Peduto welcomes you for Shaping Love with Clay, a hands-on pottery workshop where you’ll mold and glaze pieces inspired by the sea. The afternoon unfolds slowly, bridging Naples’ past and its ongoing creativity.

DAY 3 – RUINS AND REFLECTION | Travel to Ercolano for The Interrupted City, a guided walk through Herculaneum’s remarkably preserved ruins. Michele brings this frozen world to life, tracing the moments of ordinary existence captured beneath volcanic ash — a baker’s oven, carved wood, painted walls. Each scene feels suspended in time, offering a rare closeness to the ancient past. The afternoon invites rest or exploration before your final evening meal overlooking the Bay of Naples, where the view opens toward Vesuvius and the sea — a fitting close to three days of discovery and renewal.

WHERE TO STAY IN NAPLES | Stay in Centro Storico for a lively, walkable base surrounded by churches, cafés, and markets, or choose Chiaia for elegant sea views and easy coastal access. Vomero offers a quieter hilltop stay with sweeping panoramas and a quick metro link to the center.

DAY 2 – FROM OLD STREETS TO MODERN DESIGN | The morning opens with a guided photo walk through one of Tokyo’s most atmospheric neighborhoods. In Disappearing Tokyo, photographer Lee Chapman leads you into alleys where Showa-era signs fade under new facades and locals pause for coffee or conversation. It’s an intimate portrait of a city in transition — fleeting, honest, and human. After a light meal and coffee break, continue into Ginza’s Architectural Icons, where journalist Toshiko Sakurai unravels the design stories behind Tokyo’s most polished district. Here, façades reflect light like art pieces and every corner reveals a conversation between history and innovation. The day bridges Tokyo’s two faces: the nostalgic and the refined.

DAY 3 – CRAFT AND CONTRAST | The final day begins quietly, inside the private home of kimono scholar Sheila Cliffe. In A Kimono Connoisseur’s Closet, you’ll step into a collection that tells Japan’s history in silk — patterns, textures, and techniques passed through generations. Surrounded by colors and fabric, the morning moves at a slower pace, connecting tradition with artistry. In the afternoon, join filmmaker Edgin Ticzon for Tokyo, Cut to Scene, a guided journey through the city’s cinematic layers. From forest shrines to the neon scramble of Shibuya, each stop plays out like a shift in light and rhythm. The day ends as the city comes alive — narrow streets glowing with paper lanterns, where conversations flow as easily as the evening breeze.

WHERE TO STAY IN TOKYO | Stay in Shibuya if you want to be at the heart of the action — a lively hub of shopping, nightlife, and energy that defines modern Tokyo. Shinjuku is ideal for travelers who value convenience, with endless dining options and quick train links across the city. For a slower rhythm, Asakusa offers a glimpse of traditional Tokyo with temples and quiet streets, while Ginza brings sophistication, elegant hotels, and polished calm after dark. For a more local balance, Kichijōji sits just outside the center, combining creative cafés, green parks, and an easygoing neighborhood feel.
