A.M.A Selections is proud to announce it&#8217;s collaboration with Vintage Cellar, an exclusive invitation-only platform selling some of the world&#8217;s most sought after wines and spirits. This partnership allows for A.M.A Selections guests to order a curated selection of premium wines and spirits delivered directly to their holiday villa to enjoy throughout their stay. In honor of this collaboration, we sat down with Selim Bocti, cofounder of Vintage Cellar, to find out more about his journey in the world of fine wines and his company.







Tell us a bit about yourself and your entrepreneurial journey. How did you discover your passion for wine &amp; spirits?



 I developed a keen interest for fine wine at a young age when I was put in charge of running our family business that has been specializing in fine wine &amp; luxury spirits imports and retail. The beautiful journey in the world of fine wines took me to extensive tasting trips to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Tuscany, and other prime regions where I had the chance to taste exceptional cuvées in the presence of iconic Chateaux owners and wine makers. The experience was truly exceptional and throughout the years, I cherished those key and sincere relationships developed around the passion for fine wines.



 The pleasure of being accommodated at the Estates, tasting unique vintages and experiencing behind-the-scene stories with those who make the finest wines was really unforgettable. I think that was the real genesis of the <a href="https://vintage-cellar.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vintage Cellar</a> project that I co-founded with my father Gabriel Bocti and Georges Chalhoub, a close friend to the family and fine wine enthusiast!

Why did you decide to launch Vintage Cellar? What does the company offer to clients? 



When we co-launched Vintage Cellar App in 2020&nbsp;with my father Gabriel and Georges, a long-time friend and grand collector,&nbsp;we set out to build a best-in-class platform backed by a team of wine professionals and sommeliers, that would be well-prepared to provide a concierge-style service for a selected community of members. This by-invitation platform would address the needs of high-net-worth-individuals spread across the globe and looking to join the fine wine journey either for their personal consumption or long-term investments in context of collections.&nbsp; 



Through Vintage Cellar, one will be able to discover and collect some of the world’s rarest and most sought-after wines, to be a part of a community of like-minded enthusiasts, and to enjoy the skills of one’s own sommelier and regular expert updates on new vintages of wine from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône and Italy, along with all sorts of original and exclusive content. It is a one stop shop for those who wish to build a wine portfolio, while activity enjoying the sensorial and social aspects of an ultra-exclusive club of wine enthusiasts.



 The all-inclusive, bespoke app was born from the vision of becoming the prism through which the wants and needs of fine wine lovers are fulfilled. Going beyond curating rare and exclusive wines, at the heart of Vintage Cellar’s model lies a comprehensive set of services that answer to every members needs pertaining to reliable storage, cellar management and asset valuation.







What do you enjoy most about your company?



Wine is special; it is not like any other commodity. It provides an emotional and physical experience. We all remember that first bottle that made us fall in love with wine, and that is why being able to create a community of wine lovers has been a dream of mine.



 At the very core of Vintage Cellar is the development of a close-knit community of fine wine lovers and collectors. Our company prides itself on bringing the human connection back to wine investment by offering state-of-the-art technological tools to address the individual needs of the community. The app relies heavily on personalisation and human-to-human connection and building a community which I particularly cherish.

 How do you source your wines and spirits? Do you provide a different selection of wines according to season?



 In our model, we pay high attention to the provenance criteria as we buy from trusted sources like maisons de négoce, direct domains or established houses like Moet Hennessy. We are very meticulous when it comes to choosing our suppliers as we guarantee the pristine condition and origin of the bottles.



Specially curated parcels of claret and burgundy, selected from each en primeur campaign will be made available to Vintage Cellar members each year, covering a wide range of investment possibilities from the finest and most exclusive wines to village level value choices from the finest Châteaux in France.



 Can you tell us a bit more about the sommelier service and what it entails? 



The bespoke sommelier or wine advisor is the heart and soul of our project. Although Vintage Cellar operates over a digital APP format, we wanted to maintain the “human” connection in our approach.



 That’s why our team adapts to the client’ needs and preferences by engaging with them on a personal basis either through the App, by email, phone call or even WhatsApp. Our sommelier’s are personal wine assistants, a key component in the Vintage Cellar experience.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1400" src="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Richstone-La-Bergerie-222-Edit-copy-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5104" srcset="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Richstone-La-Bergerie-222-Edit-copy-2.jpg 2000w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Richstone-La-Bergerie-222-Edit-copy-2-250x175.jpg 250w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Richstone-La-Bergerie-222-Edit-copy-2-700x490.jpg 700w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Richstone-La-Bergerie-222-Edit-copy-2-768x538.jpg 768w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Richstone-La-Bergerie-222-Edit-copy-2-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Richstone-La-Bergerie-222-Edit-copy-2-120x84.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Source: A.M.A Selections</figcaption></figure>



 Where can you deliver? How far in advance should people purchase to have the bottles delivered in time?



 We deliver almost anywhere in the world through our specialized logistics partners, selected for their wine expertise. To have bottles delivered just in time, the sommelier plays a key role to arrange everything door-to-door.



 The destination is certainly a major factor that impacts the timeline of delivery. My advice is always to give extra time to avoid any unforeseen delays, especially during summer time. 







How do you feel your company competes with other high-end retailers selling fine wines &amp; spirits?



 Our team is made of passionate people, all experts in their own field. The all-inclusive solution brought by Vintage Cellar is a unique model that includes access to the finest wines, cellar management tools, logistics options and storage, wine investment plans and also the personal sommelier to be used at anytime creates a winning formula for an optimal fine wine buying experience.







How did the idea of launching this collaboration between Vintage Cellar with A.M.A. Selections begin?



 It all started when I booked a chalet for my family holiday at <a href="https://amaselections.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A.M.A. Selections</a> in Megève this winter. I wanted to pre-order my bottles ahead so they were available upon arrival, however, this was not among the proposed service at that time. So I thought why don’t we develop a partnership whereby Vintage Cellar supplies A.M.A Selections villas with a vibrant list of wine and spirits including all bottles that people enjoy under the sun! So my team got in touch with A.M.A Selections management and after the first meeting, we both decided to partner to extend the great customer experience!

<a href="https://amaselections.com/italy/holiday-villa-rentals-sicily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sicily</a> is the largest island in the Mediterranean, a wonderous land at the tip of Italy&#8217;s boot with ancient temples, turquoise watered beaches, and spicy dishes to devour. Palermo and Catania are two of the largest cities and well worth exploring, though make time for the small towns where you can get lost in the laneways, immerse in the architecture, and grab a gelato con brioche for breakfast!

Palermo



Situated at the north of the island by the Tyrrhenian Sea, Sicily&#8217;s capital, Palermo, offers a grandiose, if slightly worn, feel. Here, the former Kings of Sicily resided with their former home, Palazzo dei Normanni, a must-visit. Palazzo Abatellis, which today houses the Galleria Regionale della Sicilia (Gallery of Sicilian Art) and the archaeological museum, Museo Archeologico Regionale Antonio Salinas, are also two popular tourist destinations. At the Capuchin Convent, delve into the corridors of their catacombs. While for something more colourful, Museo delle Maioliche, housed in an apartment within the 17th-century Palazzo Torre Piraino, contains a stunning collection of glazed majolica tile pieces of Sicilian origin.

Catania



Catania is Palermo&#8217;s little sister and the ideal city to explore when visiting Mount Etna. Perched on the eastern coast of Sicily, a volcanic eruption in 1669 decimated most of the town. Today, you&#8217;ll find faded 18th-century architecture, including Monastero dei Benedettini of San Nicolò, part of the Val di Noto UNESCO World Heritage site, one of the largest monasteries in Europe that houses part of the University of Catania. Make time to enjoy the theatre of daily street life at Catania&#8217;s famed fish market, La Pescheria. Head to Piazza Alonzo di Benedetto to peruse the food stalls, then take a stroll nearby Piazza del Duomo to take in the magnificent baroque cathedral, Cattedrale di Sant&#8217;Agata.

Cefalù



Cefalù is among the most beautiful towns in Sicily, a charming seaside village in the north between Palermo and Taormina. Medieval laneways crisscross the centre of town that leads to the beach of Lido Angeli Del Mare and up towards the Rocca (mountain). Go in search of Cefalù&#8217;s ancient Roman baths, then climb the steps to the Roman Catholic basilica, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, famed for its fresco of Christ that dates back to the 12th century. Cefalù is also where the cult Italian classic, Cinema Paradiso, was filmed.

Taormina



To Sicily&#8217;s northeast, the stunning town to Taormina is renowned for its ancient Greco-­Roman amphitheatre overlooking the Ionian Sea, Teatro Antico di Taormina, perched on a rocky hillside that is still used today for performances. Corso Umberto, the main street that cuts through Taormina town, is lined with cafes and shops perfect for a midday stroll. Stop by the stunning Piazza IX Aprile for its magnificent monochrome tiled pavement, then take the cable car to Mazzarò Bay with its pebble beach and azure waters.

Ortigia



A stunning small island reachable by three bridges, Ortigia is the historical centre of Syracuse. Known as the old city, Città Vecchia, Ortigia is filled with ornate white limestone buildings retaining a Sicilian Baroque architectural charm and is best explored on foot. Piazza del Duomo houses the stunning cathedral, built on the Temple of Athena, with its massive Greek Doric columns made of bright limestone.

<a href="https://amaselections.com/greece/holiday-villa-rentals-paros" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paros</a> is one of the islands that make up the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea. There is much to enjoy and admire on Paros as its history dates back to antiquity and was once a source of white marble, known as “Parian” marble. Abandoned quarries as well as historic ruins dot the island. The following five towns are among the most popular destinations on this beautiful island.

Naoussa



Situated on the northern end of the island, Naoussa is one of the largest villages on Paros and one of the most visited. Originally a quaint fishing village, it has retained a lot of its charm but also become a modern mecca for tourists and party goers seeking the allure of cobbled streets, narrow alleyways, and cafes along the harbor combined with modern shops, restaurants and nightlife. Adding to its appeal are the ruins of a Venetian castle and the Church of Agios Nikolaos. Octopus is a popular treat and you will see their long tentacles hanging to dry all over the port.

Aliki



On the opposite end of the island you will find Aliki, another small fishing village that is visited mostly for the three beaches that stretch along the coast. It gets its name (“aliki”) from the salt marsh located at the edge of the village. The most popular beach has soft white sand and is situated in front of the village. The other beaches tend to be rockier with less amenities, perfect for those who prefer a less crowded experience. The village itself is another example of charming Greek villages with narrow alleyways, cobbled streets and the blue and white buildings so familiar in Greece. Be sure to visit the Cycladic Folklore Museum dedicated to works by the self taught artist, M. Skiadas.

Lefkes



The capital of Paros in the Middle Ages, Lefkes is located in the mountainous region of the island with views of the sea and the island of Naxos. It was originally built in the mountains as protection against the marauding pirates. You must park and walk around the town (no cars are allowed) which is a great way of appreciating its buildings and squares, colorfully decorated with bougainvillea and other flowering plants. Visit the beautiful Church of Agia Triada (the Holy Trinity) which was built in the nineteenth century and the Folklore Museum of Cycladic Civilization where you can see objects representing daily life that have been donated over the years by the villagers. This town is also ideal for nature lovers, with many paths and trails for hiking.

There’s plenty for adults to enjoy as well including bars, shops and restaurants serving what many claim to be the best cuisine on the island.

Parikia



Situated on the western side of the island is the island’s capital and largest port. Parikia is a busy metropolis offering nightlife, restaurants, bars and shops as well as the charm of a harbor village whose blue and white homes retreat from the curve of the harbor to the old town. There are several churches worth visiting, especially the church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani, which means the “Church of 100 Doors.” Originally built in the 4th century, it was remodeled in the 6th century during the reign of the Emperor Justinian. There is also a Venetian castle, built in the 17th century, at the top of the village.

If possible, you should spend a lot more time in Mykonos Town than one day but if that’s all you have, the following suggestions should give you a good feel for this delightful town.



Morning



Begin your day with breakfast at a Mykonos Bakery such as <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g662620-d7133219-Reviews-Gioras_Wood_Medieval_Mykonian_Bakery-Mykonos_Town_Mykonos_Cyclades_South_Aegean.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gioras Wood Bakery</a>. Try their spanakopita, a traditional savory Greek spinach pie.

Save the morning for the Chora (the old town) where you can spend hours exploring the cobblestone streets and boutiques. Don’t miss the traditional white washed Panagia Paraportiani (Our Lady of the Side Gate), a famous church complex. Begun in the 15th century, it was completed in the 17th century and consists of four churches with a fifth built above them. If you love art there are several galleries you should visit including <a href="https://www.raritygallery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rarity Gallery</a>, <a href="https://www.diohoria.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dio Horia Gallery</a> and <a href="http://www.thehouseoffineart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOFA</a> (House of Fine Art).

Afternoon



Walk off your lunch along the coast to the windmills that are so quintessential to Mykonos. Built hundreds of years ago, they are no longer operational though several have been turned into museums, the most famous being Bonis Windmill. Ten minutes from the windmills, you can enjoy a refreshing swim on Megali Ammos Beach. The name means “large sand” and this describes this large stretch of beach perfectly. There tends to be strong winds here so there are few if any umbrellas but it’s a fun spot to soak up some sun and enjoy the sea.

<a href="https://amaselections.com/puglia-holiday-villa-rentals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Puglia (opens in a new tab)">Puglia</a> is located in the “heel of the boot” of Italy. Surrounded on three sides by water, this area of Italy has spectacular sea views, delicious food, antique ruins and contemporary amenities. Rapidly becoming a popular destination for vacationers around the world, there is much to explore, admire and enjoy. The following five villages are among the most appealing of the many charming towns found in this region.

Ostuni



About eight kilometers from the coast, Ostuni shimmers in the sunlight, its white walls giving it the name “the white city.” There have been inhabitants in this area since the Stone Age with the usual shift of one ruling civilization after another layering the city with various cultural and architectural elements. The Old Town is surrounded by ancient walls within which you will find a seemingly chaotic arrangement of streets, the result of its organic construction during the Medieval period when the buildings and alleys were seemingly piled one on top of another. Visit the beautiful Gothic cathedral which was built in the 15th century and enjoy the stunning views of the countryside and sea from the viewpoint on Corso Vittorio Emmanuelle.

Locorotondo



Considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Locorotondo is located on a hill in Valle d’Istria. Climb to the centro storico to get the best panoramic views of the countryside. As with most Italian towns, there are plenty of churches to explore. Make sure you stop by Chiesa Madre di San Giorgio, Chiesa San Rocco and Chiesa della Madonna della Greca which is built in the Romanesque style. Famous for its white wine, take time to relax at a cafe and savor a glass (or two) while enjoying the ambience of this lovely village.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="834" src="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Martina-Franca-Lorenzo-Taccioli.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4765" srcset="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Martina-Franca-Lorenzo-Taccioli.jpg 1200w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Martina-Franca-Lorenzo-Taccioli-250x174.jpg 250w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Martina-Franca-Lorenzo-Taccioli-768x534.jpg 768w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Martina-Franca-Lorenzo-Taccioli-700x486.jpg 700w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Martina-Franca-Lorenzo-Taccioli-120x83.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Source: Lorenzo Taccioli</figcaption></figure>



Martina Franca



Also situated on a hilltop in Valle d’Istria, Martina Franca is one of the largest towns in the area. Originally a walled city (like so many Italian towns) with twenty four towers and four gates, it has lost some of the towers but still retains most of the wall as well as the Baroque and Renaissance gates. With a plethora of charming squares, this is another village ideal for strolling around, stopping to visit one of the many churches, including the beautiful Baroque Basilica di San Martino and San Domenico Church. As with all of these villages, save time to just wander aimlessly along the labyrinthine streets, enjoying the architecture, shops and cafes.

Lecce



Dating back to at least the 3rd century BC, Lecce was a Roman town and you can still visit the ruins of its immense 25000 seat amphitheater. In the 17th century, the entire town was reconstructed along Baroque lines and remains a fine example of Baroque architecture and design. Strolling around its mazelike streets you can enjoy such architectural beauties as the Basilica di Santa Croce and the Norman Church of Saints Nicolo and Cataldo, built by King Tancred of Sicily in 1180. Among many fascinating buildings, don’t miss the Castle of Charles V built around 1540. The fortresslike exterior gives way to the elegantly designed interior.

Alberobello



Alberobello is a village in the province of Bari and is famous as the home of the largest group of Puglia’s “trulli,” white washed limestone buildings with corbel roofs constructed solely with stones and no mortar (dry stone construction). This method of construction dates back to prehistory, however the trulli in Alberobello are believed to have been constructed around the 14th or 15th century. These unique buildings exist only in Puglia and though some are still dwellings, many have been turned into shops, restaurants and places to stay. Just wandering around Alberobello, appreciating the extraordinary trulli-lined streets is reason enough to visit this village but take the time to visit the small museum, Trullo Sovrano, as well as the Sant’Antonio Church and Casa d’Amore built in 1797.

Whether it’s Christmas or any other time of the year, be sure to visit the Reindeer Farm and Sheepfold at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Domaine Le Coulairon (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.domainelecoulairon.com/" target="_blank">Domaine Le Coulairon</a>.

Kolymbithres: known for its unique geology



One of the most famous beaches is Kolymbithres. Not far from the charming port of Naoussa, this beach, like all these beaches, can be accessed by either boat or car. Wind and sea have carved granite rocks into unique natural formations that lend a sculptural quality to the sand and sea landscape. “Kolymbithres” is Greek for “swimming pools” which may refer to the small sandy coves and tiny bays that can be found all along the beach. For those who enjoy water sports there’s plenty to do: windsurfing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and diving are great alternatives to lying on the beach. Bars and tavernas near the beach offer options for refreshment and there are places to rent umbrellas and sunbeds for those who prefer.

<a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Paris (opens in a new tab)" href="https://amaselections.com/paris-luxury-holiday-apartments-rental/" target="_blank">Paris</a> has always attracted artists, many of whom, such as Monet, Picasso, and Duchamp, became famous not only as artists but as individuals who changed our view of the world. From Neo Classicism to Realism to Impressionism, from Cubism to Surrealism, Paris has been the epicenter of monumental changes in the art world, altering socio-cultural identity while re-defining what is considered “art.” As a result, Paris is full of museums ranging from the intimate exploration of a single artist to huge institutions that showcase centuries of art. Though just a fraction of the museums visitors can enjoy in Paris, the following five are among the most popular and iconic attractions.

Louvre



Everyone has heard of the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Louvre (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.louvre.fr/en" target="_blank">Louvre</a>. Set in what was originally the palace of the French kings, the Louvre is a huge museum exhibiting works of art from prehistory to the 21st century. Famous for the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, there are many more paintings and sculptures worth a visit. It would take several days to see everything in the Louvre so it’s a good idea to choose a particular gallery or works of art and limit your time to two or three hours so you don’t suffer from museum fatigue.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" width="950" height="660" src="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-Orsay-Paris.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4434" srcset="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-Orsay-Paris.jpg 950w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-Orsay-Paris-250x174.jpg 250w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-Orsay-Paris-768x534.jpg 768w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-Orsay-Paris-700x486.jpg 700w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-Orsay-Paris-120x83.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Source: Musee d’Orsay</figcaption></figure>



Musée d’Orsay



The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Musee d’Orsay (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en" target="_blank">Musée d’Orsay</a>, which opened in 1986, is housed in what was originally a train station (the Gare d’Orsay) and is home to 19th and early 20th century art works by artists such as Courbet, Bougerau, Delacroix, and Bonheur and has one of the largest impressionist and post-impressionist paintings in the world including works by Monet, Manet, Morisot, Degas and Renoir. Like the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay is a huge museum and very popular so expect long lines but the wait is worth it.

Centre Pompidou



The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Centre Pompidou (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.centrepompidou.fr/en/" target="_blank">Centre Pompidou</a> (or Beaubourg) opened in 1977 much to the disgust of many Parisians who thought it ugly and a blight on the beauty of their city. It has now become a cultural icon and was one of the earliest modern buildings to be constructed “inside out” – the pipes and structural elements exposed rather than hidden. Inside there is a Public Information Library, a Museum of Modern Art and a Center for Music and Acoustic research. You can find many works by 20th century artists such as Chagall, Duchamp, Delaunay and Kandinsky in the permanent collection and there are always two or three exhibitions on show. Even if the art isn’t to your taste, it’s worth a visit just to ride the escalator to get breathtaking views of the surrounding city.

Musée Rodin



The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Rodin Museum (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.musee-rodin.fr/en" target="_blank">Rodin Museum</a> in the Hotel Brion is exactly what its name implies – a museum dedicated to the great 19th century sculptor. Opened in 1919 the museum contains many of his most famous works including The Kiss, The Gates of Hell and The Thinker. Also included are works by friends of Rodin; Van Gogh, Renoir and Monet as well as works by Camille Claudel who was a student and a model as well as a lover, close friend and collaborator of Rodin’s.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" width="950" height="660" src="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-l-Orangerie.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4437" srcset="https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-l-Orangerie.jpg 950w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-l-Orangerie-250x174.jpg 250w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-l-Orangerie-768x534.jpg 768w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-l-Orangerie-700x486.jpg 700w, https://magazine.amaselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Musee-l-Orangerie-120x83.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Source: L’Orangerie</figcaption></figure>



L’Orangerie



Finally, if you are a fan of impressionism and particularly of Monet, be sure to visit the <a href="https://www.musee-orangerie.fr/en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="L’Orangerie (opens in a new tab)">L’Orangerie</a>, so named because it was originally built by Napoleon III as a hot house where oranges and other exotic citrus fruit were grown. There are several impressionist and post-impressionist works in the museum but it’s most famous for Monet’s giant Water Lily series (Nympheas), eight of which the artist gave to the French government in 1922 as a tribute to the end of WWI.



Whichever museum you are able to visit, the richness of the French artistic heritage is sure to leave a lasting impression.

If possible, you should spend a lot more time in Mykonos Town than one day but if that’s all you have, the following suggestions should give you a good feel for this delightful town.



Morning



Begin your day with breakfast at a Mykonos Bakery such as <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g662620-d7133219-Reviews-Gioras_Wood_Medieval_Mykonian_Bakery-Mykonos_Town_Mykonos_Cyclades_South_Aegean.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gioras Wood Bakery</a>. Try their spanakopita, a traditional savory Greek spinach pie.

Save the morning for the Chora (the old town) where you can spend hours exploring the cobblestone streets and boutiques. Don’t miss the traditional white washed Panagia Paraportiani (Our Lady of the Side Gate), a famous church complex. Begun in the 15th century, it was completed in the 17th century and consists of four churches with a fifth built above them. If you love art there are several galleries you should visit including <a href="https://www.raritygallery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rarity Gallery</a>, <a href="https://www.diohoria.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dio Horia Gallery</a> and <a href="http://www.thehouseoffineart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HOFA</a> (House of Fine Art).

Afternoon



Walk off your lunch along the coast to the windmills that are so quintessential to Mykonos. Built hundreds of years ago, they are no longer operational though several have been turned into museums, the most famous being Bonis Windmill. Ten minutes from the windmills, you can enjoy a refreshing swim on Megali Ammos Beach. The name means “large sand” and this describes this large stretch of beach perfectly. There tends to be strong winds here so there are few if any umbrellas but it’s a fun spot to soak up some sun and enjoy the sea.

Naoussa



Situated on the northern end of the island, Naoussa is one of the largest villages on Paros and one of the most visited. Originally a quaint fishing village, it has retained a lot of its charm but also become a modern mecca for tourists and party goers seeking the allure of cobbled streets, narrow alleyways, and cafes along the harbor combined with modern shops, restaurants and nightlife. Adding to its appeal are the ruins of a Venetian castle and the Church of Agios Nikolaos. Octopus is a popular treat and you will see their long tentacles hanging to dry all over the port.

Aliki



On the opposite end of the island you will find Aliki, another small fishing village that is visited mostly for the three beaches that stretch along the coast. It gets its name (“aliki”) from the salt marsh located at the edge of the village. The most popular beach has soft white sand and is situated in front of the village. The other beaches tend to be rockier with less amenities, perfect for those who prefer a less crowded experience. The village itself is another example of charming Greek villages with narrow alleyways, cobbled streets and the blue and white buildings so familiar in Greece. Be sure to visit the Cycladic Folklore Museum dedicated to works by the self taught artist, M. Skiadas.

Lefkes



The capital of Paros in the Middle Ages, Lefkes is located in the mountainous region of the island with views of the sea and the island of Naxos. It was originally built in the mountains as protection against the marauding pirates. You must park and walk around the town (no cars are allowed) which is a great way of appreciating its buildings and squares, colorfully decorated with bougainvillea and other flowering plants. Visit the beautiful Church of Agia Triada (the Holy Trinity) which was built in the nineteenth century and the Folklore Museum of Cycladic Civilization where you can see objects representing daily life that have been donated over the years by the villagers. This town is also ideal for nature lovers, with many paths and trails for hiking.

Piso Livadi



If you’re looking for a family friendly village, be sure to visit Piso Livadi, another delightful fishing village with a shallow sandy beach and a children’s playground at the harbor making it ideal for a family vacation. There’s plenty for adults to enjoy as well including bars, shops and restaurants serving what many claim to be the best cuisine on the island.

Parikia



Situated on the western side of the island is the island’s capital and largest port. Parikia is a busy metropolis offering nightlife, restaurants, bars and shops as well as the charm of a harbor village whose blue and white homes retreat from the curve of the harbor to the old town. There are several churches worth visiting, especially the church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani, which means the “Church of 100 Doors.” Originally built in the 4th century, it was remodeled in the 6th century during the reign of the Emperor Justinian. There is also a Venetian castle, built in the 17th century, at the top of the village.

What better way to enjoy your favorite sport of golf than by taking a holiday in the beautiful Italian countryside? We’ve rounded up five luxury holiday villas that are in close proximity to one of Italy’s most spectacular and challenging golf courses, <a href="https://www.antognollagolf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Antognolla Golf</a>. Conceived by the renowned designer Robert Trent Jones Junior, the eighteen-holes at Antognolla feature long, cliff-lined fairways and beautiful water hazards, making it an exciting and satisfying course for golfers of all abilities.



The Antognolla Golf course is situated in the region of <a href="https://amaselections.com/italy/holiday-villa-rentals-umbria" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Umbria</a>, often referred to as the green heart of Italy. Known for its beautiful landscape, <a href="https://amaselections.com/magazine/the-must-try-food-and-wine-of-umbria" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">delicious cuisine</a>, rich history and medieval villages, Umbria is diverse and includes picturesque rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards and dense forests ideal for truffle hunting. When you’re not on the golf course, explore the bustling nearby city of <a href="https://amaselections.com/magazine/baci-perugina-chocolate-factory-perugia-italy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Perugia</a>, walk the narrow cobblestone streets of Todi, a medieval village that looks as though it’s from a fairy tale, or enjoy a day in Assisi where you can visit the historic Basilica of St. Francis with its 13th century frescoes.



The following five villas are all set on an exclusive countryside estate and are less than a 10 minute drive to the Antognolla golf course.
