Rail is back
Rail is back in Europe, and it has reshaped how the best trips flow. Heritage journeys and reborn grand hotels have made slow, scenic travel the luxury move again.
In Rome, the Orient Express La Minerva revives Art Deco glamour down to the red marble showers. Comporta offers a fashionable, sustainable seaside escape south of Lisbon. And in Forte dei Marmi, Pensione America is an eighteen room revival of la dolce vita.
String it together by train through Italy on the Orient Express and Venice Simplon routes, or wander the vineyards and hill towns of Istria, the Tuscany of Croatia.
