HOTELS WORTH KNOWING | ROME EDITION 🇮🇹
 Palazzo Ta HOTELS WORTH KNOWING | ROME EDITION 🇮🇹

Palazzo Talìa - Only in Rome could a luxury boutique hotel have a past this interesting.

On my recent hotel-hopping afternoon in Rome, I stepped inside Palazzo Talìa, one of the city’s most intriguing new luxury hotels (it opened in May 2024 after a four-year restoration), just a few minutes’ walk from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain in the historic center of Rome. 

Housed in a magnificent 16th-century palazzo, the building was once a prestigious boarding school that closed in 2000. It remains owned by the Vatican-run Fondazione Collegio Nazareno, and is managed by the Roman Federici family who has transformed it into a very special and unique 26-room luxury hotel.

Let’s talk about the stunning  interiors! Designed in part by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name), the grand salons and hallways are a stunning mix of original frescoes, marble statues, rich fabrics and carpets and contemporary design. Even the panoramic glass elevators overlooking the garden courtyard are architectural highlights.

The lively Bar della Musa was packed during my visit — clearly a popular Roman destination for coffee, cocktails and terrific people-watching. There’s also a subterranean spa with a heated indoor pool.

For lovers of history, art, architecture, interior design and hotels with a real sense of place, this is another Roman address absolutely worth knowing — and staying.

HOTELS WORTH KNOWING | ROME EDITION 🇮🇹 First up: HOTELS WORTH KNOWING | ROME EDITION 🇮🇹

First up: Casa J.K. Place. A new Roman address that completely blew me away from the minute I stepped through the doors. 

Opened in May 2026, Casa J.K. Place is the newest addition to a hotel collection I’ve long loved for their style and hospitality, with beautiful properties in Capri, Rome and Paris (and Milan coming next!). After touring the property, I can confidently say this is one of the most exciting new places to stay in Rome. 

Tucked into an 18th-century palazzo in the heart of Rome, just steps from Via Condotti and a short stroll from the Spanish Steps, the location is hard to beat.

What makes Casa J.K. Place so special? It manages to combine two things you rarely find together: the space, privacy and sophistication of a beautifully designed Roman residence with the personalized service, amenities and hospitality of a luxury boutique hotel.

The 15 1-3 BR apartments are simply stunning — spacious, residential in feel and exquisitely designed by Michele Bönan, whose signature style is woven throughout the J.K. Place collection. Think rich fabrics and vibrant colors, custom furnishings and an incredible attention to detail.

And the restaurant! I had my best meal in Rome this visit at the hotel’s Al 22 Bistrot, set in a gorgeous internal courtyard and an unexpected highlight.

Perfect for families, couples or friends traveling together who love the independence of a private residence but doesn’t want to give up the comforts and hospitality of a great hotel, this is a new Roman address absolutely worth staying. 

To book your stay here with lots of perks and amenities, contact me.

Back at one of my favorite stops in Park City — Ke Back at one of my favorite stops in Park City — Kemo Sabe. 🤠

This time, on a mission to replace my daughter’s cowboy hat, which unfortunately became the second cowboy hat I’ve managed to lose at an airport in the past year. Clearly, I need a better system.

But I never need much of an excuse to come here.

Kemo Sabe is one of the coolest spots in town, with handmade, fully customizable hats, fabulous vintage and custom Western jewelry and art and plenty of temptation for my cowgirl fashion fix.

And watching Lance Page, hat guy extraordinaire, work his magic shaping and customizing a hat is half the fun. Each hat is meticulously steamed, molded and adjusted to suit your face, head and personal style. It’s an actual hands-on experience.

The other half? The hidden speakeasy, where a little cocktail break makes the shopping experience even better.

One beautiful replacement hat secured. This time it actually made it home!

I’m hooked. 🎣🍂 Fly fishing has always been one o I’m  hooked. 🎣🍂

Fly fishing has always been one of my favorite things to do when I am back in Park City. There’s something about getting out on the river, surrounded by mountains and nothing but the sound of rushing water, that makes everything else seem very far away.

And this time of year? Even better. The aspens are turning gold, the air is crisp, and recent rains have the rivers running high with plenty of trout and whitefish to catch and release. 

A few hours on the river, some much-needed pointers and stories from our stellar guide Luke, and four fish caught on my own. Not a bad afternoon!

It’s one of those experiences where I  completely lose track of time — and honestly, that’s part of the appeal after hectic days of travel and work. 

Just another reason to love Park City in the fall.

From Palermo to Rome, keeping it in the Rocco Fort From Palermo to Rome, keeping it in the Rocco Forte family. 🇮🇹

Some hotels you visit once. Others keep bringing you back.
This was my third stay at Hotel de Russie over the years, and it remains one of my absolute favorites in Rome.

Following an extensive multi-year renovation, this Roman icon is looking better than ever — beautifully refreshed while retaining its timeless elegance, character and intimate, boutique feel I’ve always loved.

The exceptional service, effortless style, unbeatable location, and of course, that gorgeous Secret Garden courtyard are just a few of the reasons I (and my clients) keep returning.

Some hotels are destinations in their own right. Villa Igiea, a historic villa with a Sicilian soul, is certainly one of them.

Perched above the Gulf of Palermo and only 10 minutes drive from the vibrant city of Palermo, this Rocco Forte 100-room grand dame is a perfect blend of Sicilian history, timeless elegance and contemporary luxury. After several days exploring Sicily, checking in here for two nights felt like a wonderful change of pace to relax and unwind in the incredible warm October weather. From the sweeping sea views and lush grounds to the old-world glamour style and warm hospitality, it’s easy to see why this timeless hotel is such a special address.

An absolutely memorable stay.

I love the colors of Palermo. Elegant and gritty, I love the colors of Palermo.

Elegant and gritty, full of character, and impossible not to love. From colorful street markets and grand palazzos to the stunning opera house Teatro Massimo, we sampled the delicious local delicacies and had plenty of laughs along the way.
