The Hotels and Hideaways We’re Checking Into in 2021 ft. Villa Lena Founders

We’re catching up with the founders of Italy’s coolest crash pad, Villa Lena, who’ll be sharing their Tuscan recommendations, under-the-radar restaurants in Rome and where to (hopefully) sip rosé this summer. Plus, we’re sharing the hedonistic hideaways we can’t wait to visit with our support bubble. Flaking on post-pandemic plans? Us? Never.



Hands
up who’s desperate to return to the bel paese (beautiful
country)?

We know that The Upgrade listeners are as infatuated with Italy
as us, so we decided to join forces with the duo behind Italy’s
coolest creative crash pad.

Tune in to this recommendation-packed episode as we’re joined by
Villa
Lena
‘s foundersLena Evstafieva and Jérôme Hadey, who share
their Tuscan tips, under-the-radar restaurants in Rome and
where to (hopefully) sip rosé this summer. That’s amore.

Plus, India and Fleur chat about the group getaways they’re
hoping to get off the ground this year. Think beachy boltholes in
Formentera, an art-filled hotel in Beirut and
a mid-century cabin in the Welsh countryside. This episode is
filled with good, old-fashioned escapism.

We’ll see you for aperitivo.
