This is such a beautiful piece, thank you! I love seeing your unintentional book theme come to life, there are some real gems in there. (Also can I just say that “Winters of Content” is an amazing title?!) As we prepare for the onslaught of la stagione I will be coming back to this for some quiet meditation ✨

A couple years ago, we visited Ravello in February-- and have never stopped talking about it. We'd been before, but to have the whole Villa Cimbrone gardens to ourselves was magic. I'm with Spike Hughes in loving to imagine these resorts in off-season, when the locals go back to living their lives, enjoying one another, and gathering their energy for the months to come.

Thank you for the submission., you’ve inspired travel for me through southern Italy and Sicily and I’m now wrapping up designing a 3 week itinerary through Puglia and Basilicata.. we are sightseeing, and future real estate surveying. I like the analogy of traveling in the off season to aging and retirement..

puoi goderti la vita senza dover distinguere un giorno dall'altro. Questo è davvero un grande lusso.

stare bene

I find off season travel to be far more rewarding and insightful.
