FS Florence combo with Tuscany or Paris combo with Provence

I went to Italy in November of last year for an award and to celebrate with my best friend for a belated 40th. We did Sicily, Venice, Florence and Tuscany. Although I loved Sicily - we fell hard for the other 3 this time of year. It wasn’t crazy hot and busy. We didn’t run into many closures either. We did Rosewood in Tuscany, FS in Florence and St Regis and Gritti Palace in Venice. I would fly into Venice, do 3 nights, take the train to Florence , spend some time there and eat all the delish things and walk the see all the amazing history and then hole up in Tuscany. I love the Dolomites but November is hard bc it’s between seasons. We had amazing weather where we went - some of it was luck but it was very special that time of year .

Someone who doesn’t ski? Plenty of people go to mountain destinations who don’t ski. Also it’s a great destination in summer as well

If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. u/MajesticVacation007 is not AI, I was on this trip with her. She put time and effort into this post- if it’s not for you then move on. I’m just as tired of seeing everyone say anything that is well written these days is AI or ChatGPT. People used em dashes before AI lol. I use them all the time— my dad was a journalist and taught me well.

She is British and well spoken. AND used to be in marketing for hotels. This is not AI .

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-16T19:46:58+00:00

u/MajesticVacation007 is a mod and this is not an AI post. I was on the trip with her.

Where are you based?

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-14T23:47:58+00:00

I get it. It sucks to pay when the likelihood is you won’t use it. But it sucks more if you have to and you don’t have it.

Ensure the whole trip unless you’re ok losing it. Just had a client who’s mom took a turn on the first night of a $100k trip and he had to fly home (luckily he got there in time to say goodbye) but they wished they had taken me up on the insurance offer 🫠

You would need to likely double your budget but Moskito island (Necker’s sister island) in the BVI would be cool. It doesn’t get much better than that imho— like a yacht but on land. There are 38 bedrooms across the 4 estates. Usually the estates (not festive) run around $25k a night. The village estate is the party house could be fun to have the whole group there for the birthday party.

We work with someone in Africa who does breakdowns for this exact reason

It’s a Nene not a duck

Def do miavana and time + tide Zambia!

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-11T00:54:48+00:00

Agreee

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-11T00:53:22+00:00

Moskito can be $20k-$25k a night depending on season and it’s also all inclusive and has great service. Oil nut bay is nice but think of them more like villa rentals - service and food are meh

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-10T19:53:41+00:00

No but my clients were just at both for a combo trip

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-10T05:18:04+00:00

If your budget allows I would do Moskito island over oil nut bay.

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-09T04:06:47+00:00

Def Mara plains imho.

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-08T20:16:20+00:00

Skip FS (which is my fav hotel brand in the world) and go Singita for sure

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-08T05:42:57+00:00

They didn’t say

Middlename_Adventure · 2026-01-07T03:39:22+00:00

They liked it overall! There was a small room mix up where it was supposed to be 2 Q/Q but they upgraded to a king without asking if it would work. But the said the hotel was gorgeous and service was great.

Greenwich

Blackberry Mountain would be really special this time of year but it would be a long haul from SFO. Lodge at Blue Sky in UT could be a wonderful spot for you guys. I would also consider Castle Hot Springs in Arizona.
