SOME TRIPS ARE WORTH DREAMING ABOUT—AND THIS MAY ESCAPE THROUGH BARCELONA, MALLORCA, AND ITALY’S AMALFI COAST IS ONE YOU’LL WISH COULD LAST A LITTLE LONGER.

Begin in Barcelona, where Gaudí’s extraordinary creations, winding Gothic Quarter lanes, and lively tapas bars make every day feel like a new discovery. Then trade the city’s energy for Mallorca’s turquoise coves, mountain villages, and leisurely lunches that turn into afternoons you never want to end. Just when you think the Mediterranean couldn’t get more captivating, Italy welcomes you with dramatic coastal cliffs, pastel villages, and terraces overlooking a sapphire sea. Imagine exploring lemon-scented lanes, lingering over fresh pasta, and watching the evening light sweep across the Amalfi Coast with a glass of wine in hand.

With May’s gentler pace before the summer rush, this is your chance to savor three unforgettable destinations in one incredible journey.

Self-arranged hotel:

H10 MADISON PAIRS THE CHARM OF HISTORIC BARCELONA WITH THE PLEASURE OF A STYLISH ROOFTOP ESCAPE, 
JUST STEPS FROM THE MAGNIFICENT CATHEDRAL.

Set within a restored early 20th-century building, this four-star superior hotel makes an elegant base for days filled with Gaudí, Gothic Quarter discoveries, and unforgettable food. Begin with a leisurely breakfast, then step outside to explore winding lanes, inviting boutiques, and lively tapas bars. Between adventures, retreat to the rooftop terrace, where cathedral views make an afternoon drink feel like an occasion. As evening lights up the city, you’ll have a beautiful spot to linger over one more glass before heading out for dinner. 

For guests who want history at their doorstep and a polished retreat to return to, H10 Madison makes Barcelona feel wonderfully effortless.

Self-arranged hotels:

HOTEL ES PORT CAPTURES THE MALLORCA YOU DREAM OF FINDING—
HISTORIC CHARM, LUSH GARDENS, AND A SLOWER PACE BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SEA. 

Tucked away just a short stroll from Port de Sóller’s waterfront, this welcoming retreat invites you to spend your days between peaceful gardens, poolside afternoons, and leisurely meals overlooking the bay. Traditional stonework and the dramatic backdrop of the Serra de Tramuntana give the setting a distinctly Mallorcan character. 
When you’re ready to explore, wander down to the beach, ride the vintage tram into Sóller, or discover the island’s spectacular coastline by boat. Return for a soothing spa visit before heading out for dinner as evening settles over the harbor. 

With its historic soul and peaceful gardens just moments from the harbor, Es Port makes it easy to settle into the Mallorcan rhythm—
and wish you could stay a little longer.

HOTEL ESPLÉNDIDO BRINGS RETRO-CHIC STYLE TO THE SHORES OF PORT DE SÓLLER, 
WHERE WATERFRONT LIVING BECOMES THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR MALLORCA ESCAPE. 

Just across the promenade from the sandy beach, this seaside retreat puts swims in the bay, harbor strolls, and leisurely waterfront dinners within easy reach. Inside, playful design and relaxed elegance give the hotel a personality as memorable as its setting. 

Spend the afternoon beside one of two outdoor pools, find a quiet corner in the gardens, or head down to the sea whenever the mood strikes. With the Serra de Tramuntana rising behind the town and boats bobbing in the harbor, there’s every reason to pause and soak it all in. 

Espléndido’s charm lies in that irresistible connection to the waterfront—the feeling that Mallorca’s beautiful bay is part of your stay.

Grand Hotel Capodimonte captures the romance of Sorrento—
classic Italian elegance, cascading pool terraces, and sweeping views across the Bay of Naples.

Set into the hillside with Mount Vesuvius on the horizon, this inviting retreat makes it easy to slip into the rhythm of la dolce vita. The terraced grounds are a highlight, giving you inviting places to lounge, swim, and soak up the scenery without feeling you need to leave the hotel to enjoy your destination. Spend leisurely afternoons beside the pools, surrounded by lush gardens, or head into Sorrento to browse its boutiques, explore the old town, and linger at a sidewalk café. That combination of a peaceful, resort-like setting and access to town makes Capodimonte especially appealing for guests who want sightseeing and relaxation in equal measure.

Inside, traditionally styled rooms offer a restful escape, while select accommodations add a private balcony and beautiful sea views—an upgrade worth considering to make the most of this hillside setting. As evening approaches, settle in for Southern Italian flavors and a glass of local wine while the lights begin to sparkle across the bay. The real draw is how much of your Italian escape you can savor right here: an unhurried breakfast, a poolside afternoon, and a beautiful evening overlooking the water.

It’s a place to leave room in your itinerary for simply enjoying where you are.

If you're an American traveling to SPAIN OR ITALY to stay there for an extended period, it's important to be aware of the following information about using electricity in these countries:

Voltage and Frequency:

Both countries operate on a different electrical system compared to the United States. The voltage in is 230 volts, whereas in the U.S., it is 120 volts. Additionally, the frequency in is 50 hertz (Hz), whereas in the U.S., it is 60 Hz. This difference in voltage and frequency means that American electrical devices may not be compatible with the electrical system without the use of adapters or converters.

Plug Types:

Both countries use Type C or Type F electrical plugs and outlets. These plugs have two or three round pins, so if your American devices have flat pins, you will need plug adapters to fit them into Italian outlets. It's advisable to carry multiple adapters to accommodate your various devices.

Power Adapters and Converters:

Most modern electronic devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets, are dual voltage and can support both 120V and 230V. In such cases, you will only need a plug adapter to fit your American plugs into outlets. However, certain devices, like hairdryers, curling irons, and some kitchen appliances, might only support the U.S. voltage. For these devices, you will need a voltage converter or a transformer to use them safely.

Safety Considerations:

It's crucial to ensure that your electrical devices can handle the higher voltage in Italy before plugging them in directly. Using devices not compatible with the higher voltage can result in damage or even fire hazards. Always check the voltage requirements and capabilities of your devices by looking at the labels or the user manuals. If in doubt, it's safer to use a voltage converter or seek expert advice.

Charging Electronic Devices:

When charging your electronic devices in, you can usually use a simple plug adapter. Most smartphones, tablets, and laptops have built-in power adapters that can handle different voltages automatically. However, it's always a good idea to check the device's label or documentation to confirm its voltage compatibility.

Hairdryers and Personal Care Appliances:

If you plan to use American hairdryers, curling irons, or other personal care appliances, be cautious. These devices often require a higher wattage than what Italian outlets provide. Using them with a voltage converter is an option, but it's worth noting that converters can be large and heavy. Alternatively, you can consider purchasing hairdryers or styling tools with dual voltage settings or ones specifically designed for international use.

Remember, electrical standards can vary between countries, so it's essential to research the specific requirements and prepare accordingly to ensure a safe and hassle-free experience while using electricity.

Should you bring Euros?

Yes! If you give your bank a few days heads up, they can usually source some euros for you. No worries though, if you don't do this in advance. We can always exchange USD for euros at our hotel or close to our hotel.

DO NOT EXCHANGE MONEY AT THE AIRPORT. 

You'll get the worst exchange rates and sometimes they charge fees as well. 

Can I pay by check?

Yes!

If you would like to avoid the 4% processing fee, you may pay by check. You can drop this off at a Chase bank near you, or mail this overnight to us (with tracking information).
