Olive Groves & Long Tables
The short version
A week in southern Italy built around the table. Morning swims in the Adriatic, afternoon markets in whitewashed towns, and long dinners under olive trees with a local chef who treats every meal like a celebration. This one is for people who think food is the best part of any trip.
