August 2–7, 2026 · Rome + Tuscany
Read, Roam, Rest,
Repeat!
with Isis Bradford
Five nights in a private penthouse in the heart of Rome — slow mornings, incredible food, Tuscany by train, and no logistics to stress over.
The Experience
This is a slow, intentional trip for a small group of women who want to experience Italy the right way — not rushing between sights, but actually living in the city for a few days.
Arrival + Welcome Dinner
Arrive in Rome, settle into the penthouse, and ease into the week together. The evening begins with a private chef dinner — a relaxed first night to meet, unwind, and settle into the rhythm of the trip. You’ll also receive a curated welcome gift bag from Isis, along with a book exchange to kick things off. (Be sure to bring a book to swap — details in the FAQ.)
A Day to Wander Rome
Your first full day is intentionally open — spend it however you want. I’ll personally be wandering around the Colosseum, getting lost in Trastevere, throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain, stopping for lunch, and maybe reading a few pages of whatever book I bring... or honestly, maybe not getting any reading done at all. No pressure, no schedule — just time to explore and take it all in.
Slow Morning + Vatican + Cooking Class
We’ll start the day slow, then head to Vatican City in the afternoon to explore the museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Sistine Chapel — and who knows, maybe we’ll even run into the Pope! In the evening, we’ll join a group, hands-on cooking class to making dinner from scratch.
Tuscany Day Trip
A change of pace. We’ll take a high-speed train to Florence for the day — think cafés, bookstores, wine, and wandering through one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany. It’s a slower, scenic day with plenty of time to explore on your own.
Free Day + Movie Night
A full day to relax and enjoy the city however you’d like. Sleep in, read on the terrace, pick up a few souvenirs, revisit a favorite spot, or simply wander and see where the day takes you. We’ll come together for dinner — I have a little place in mind with a great view — and if we’re up for it after, we’ll head back, sip some wine, eat popcorn, and watch a movie.
Departure
One last breakfast together before departure. Airport transfers will be arranged — unless you’re continuing on to the Amalfi Coast with us... (read on!)
