You Can Order Helicopters and Boats on Uber at This Iconic Italian Destination
Traveling up and down Italy's gorgeous Amalfi Coast is about to get a little more streamlined this summer. Uber announced that it is launching Uber Copter and Uber Boat in Sorrento, Italy, allowing visitors to use the app to travel by air, sea, or land throughout Southern Italy this summer. Starting June 25, reservations for the new services will be available to book through the Uber app within Italy. Uber will also expand its ground transportation options by launching Uber Reserve on the Amalfi Coast, which gives riders the ability to book rides in advance and beat the busy crowds at Salerno Airport. Uber Copter and Uber Boat will be limited to availability on summer weekends. Departing from an exclusive helipad in Sorrento, Uber Copter gives travelers the option to pre-book private, round-trip journeys to Capri by helicopter. The service allows groups of up to six people to travel in a dual-pilot helicopter for €250 (about $290) per person and includes door-to-door transportation to and from the helicopter. For travelers eager to head out to sea on the Amalfi Coast, Uber Boat allows users to book a private four-hour charter cruise for up to 12 people, including a personal skipper, snacks, and beverages. The boat will set sail from Sorrento Marina. 'At Uber, we strive to help our customers go anywhere, wherever they are travelling." Anabel Diaz, Uber's vice president of Europe, Middle East, and Africa mobility, said in a statement shared with Travel + Leisure . "Italy is fast becoming one of our most popular tourist destinations, with travelers turning to the Uber app to help make their holiday travel stress-free. This summer, we're adding a series of unforgettable experiences that will make travelling by land, sea or air more magical than ever before.' Passengers on the Uber Boat off the Amalfi Coast. According to Uber, more than 400,000 people used Uber in Italy last summer, and 60,000 people opened the app in the Amalfi Coast in just the last 12 months. Both Uber Copter and Uber Boat must be booked at least 48 hours in advance through Uber Reserve, and the seasonal offerings will run every Saturday and Sunday from July 26 to Aug. 24. The availability of the services will be subject to weather conditions. The Amalfi Coast is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and has become more and more popular as a summer destination over the years, but despite the crowds, it is still an enjoyable and stunning place to visit in Italy.

Opulence Meets History At The St. Regis Rome
St Regis Rome Rome has no shortage of stunning five-star luxury hotels, but only a select few offer the rare combination of opulence and historical significance. The St. Regis Rome is one such gem. Originally opened as The Grand Hotel Rome, the property was designed by the King of Hoteliers, the legendary César Ritz—yes, the Ritz behind Ritz-Carlton. Ritz was instrumental in creating a hotel unlike any other in the city; prized for its modern amenities, it was the first in Rome to have electricity and hot water, and the first to have a public ballroom—luxuries that were revolutionary at the time. Today, The St. Regis Rome continues to impress, offering a seamless blend of modern comfort and timeless elegance. Guests can expect all the hallmarks of contemporary luxury—high-speed Wi-Fi, sumptuous Rubelli fabrics, advanced in-room technology, artful lighting, and soundproof accommodations. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the way its renovation by Pierre-Yves Rochon preserved and elevated its Belle Epoque heritage. The frescoed ballroom at The St Regis Rome Think light-filled, cream-toned interiors that cater to today's discerning traveler, paired with charming historic details: an original antique elevator with a gilded interior and chandelier, and a curated collection of period furnishings—from ornate mirrors to stately grandfather clocks—all lovingly retained during the 2018 restoration. It's this thoughtful blend of past and present that makes a stay at The St. Regis Rome truly unforgettable. Indeed, even the hotel's five-level open staircase is so stunning it makes a good argument for skipping the elevator. An ornate masterpiece that finishes with a ceiling fresco on the top floor—one can see it's blue radiance from the main floor, trimmed by the elaborate carving and detail on each level of the open staircase. Yet, the hotel's crowning glory is the ballroom—which one must make a point to see. Featuring a restored frescoed ceiling, original marble-clad walls, and breathtaking hand-blown chandeliers, the space is a regal gem in the heart of Rome. It even includes a Queen's Balcony, historically reserved for royal appearances. Of course, no stay at The St. Regis Rome would be complete without the brand's signature Butler Service. Available 24 hours a day, the butlers are just a text, call, or email away—whether you need help unpacking, a freshly brewed espresso, they are on hand to manage the details. Dining Looking up from the main floor—to the painting on the ceiling at the top of the staircase The hotel's main restaurant, Lumen offers a tranquil and elegant setting for breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea. Happy hour brings the relaxed lounge vibes with live piano music and a buzzy cocktail scene. The dining room, adjacent to the lounge, enjoys the piano stylings along with a full menu of modern Italian options. It's hard not to love a restaurant that brings together live piano music and a menu of premium offerings such as flambeed king prawn, salt crusted fish and beef tartare. Be sure to stick around for the 7pm nightly Champagne sabering when guests are treated to an authentic sabering of a bottle of Champagne, and a nice free glass of bubbly. During the summer months the Lumen Garden, located in the heart of the hotel, is a beautifully landscaped al fresco escape from the city's heat.

The St. Regis Rome Spa Sisley Paris and fitness center offer a well-appointed retreat from a full day of touring in Rome, including sauna and full gym as well as facials, massages, manicures and pedicures. The reviews of the St. Regis Rome are rife with superlatives: luxurious, exceptional, stunning, memorable, etc., and rightly so. It's a palatial experience from top to bottom and it's located within walking distance to most of the city's treasures. Mr. Ritz was a visionary when he established this property over a century ago and it's no wonder we still marvel in its riches today.

This Tranquil Italian Town Is the Perfect Dupe for Venice—With Similar Canals, Footbridges, and Boat Tours but Fewer Visitors
Venice is a bucket list destination for many, but as the city buckles under the crushing weight of overtourism, savvy travelers are beginning to look for alternatives. Enter Comacchio, a small town less than two hours away in Italy's Emilia Romagna region. Located where the Po River Delta meets the Adriatic Coast, Comacchio is sometimes called the 'Little Venice' because of its lagoon and canals. Fulvio De Bonis, the A-List Travel Advisor behind Imago Artis Travel suggests going for 'a stroll along its small alleys and canals, between glimpses and bridges (such as the Ponte dei Trepponti), which recall the metaphysical atmosphere of De Chirico's paintings.' Aside from the canals and bridges, the town is known for its culinary specialities, in particular eels. The fish market dates back to the 17th century and local fishermen still sell their daily catch there. According to De Bonis, a visit to the ancient Manifattura dei Marinati is a must. He calls it 'a splendid example of industrial architecture, today a museum and workshop that preserves boats, equipment, documentaries and interviews that bear witness to the tradition of eel processing.' The marinated eel produced in Comacchio is recognized as a Slow Food presidium. 'Throughout the year you can watch the fish being marinated and in the months of November and December the scenic fireplaces are lit to roast and marinate the eel according to the ancient Comacchio technique,' he explains. This takes place in the Sala dei Fuochi, a massive room with 12 fireplaces, which is considered the heart of the complex. Marinated anchovies and sardines are also produced here. Unsurprisingly, the town's restaurants serve eel in more ways than you can imagine, but plenty of other seafood specialties appear on tables as well, from appetizers made with scallops or clams to spaghetti with crabs or risotto alla pescatore . Whatever you order, wash it down with some Bosco Eliceo, the crisp local white wine that falls under a DOC (Italy's protected appellation system). History buffs will want to visit the Ancient Delta Museum inside the Antico Ospedale degli Infermi, which contains the cargo of an ancient Roman ship discovered in Comacchio in 1981. For nature lovers, De Bonis suggests 'a boat or bike excursion to the Salina di Comacchio and Valle Campo to discover the nesting places of numerous bird species, specifically the beautiful pink flamingos.'
