Golden sunrise over Prague’s Gothic skyline with spires and domes glowing in the morning mist — a romantic European cityscape captured by Amore Travel Designs, Fort Collins luxury travel advisor and Europe travel expert specializing in luxury haunted getaways.

DARK ROMANCE IN PRAGUE

There’s a reason I called this one Dark Romance in Prague. The city feels like a love story written by candlelight—beautiful, haunting, and impossible to forget. Prague doesn’t just show you its history; it seduces you with it. Cobblestone streets glisten after the rain. Gothic towers watch from above like silent guardians. It’s no wonder lovers and night wanderers alike fall under its spell. As a Fort Collins luxury travel advisor, I curate stays that feel like poetry—boutique hotels tucked inside centuries-old buildings, dinners overlooking the Vltava, and private evening tours through the city’s mysterious heart.

SECRET BOLOGNA EXPERIENCE

Richard and I were traveling through Bologna and I found the most special farmhouse/cooking class in the countryside of Bologna. The owners were lovely, engaging and we were in awe of the whole experience. A husband-and-wife team running a farm, restaurant, cooking school, and a B&B as well. This secret Bologna experience has stayed on top of our minds every time we think of Italy.

Luxury travel advisor in Fort Collins, Amore Travel Designs, curates exclusive fall foliage escapes with vibrant red and golden autumn leaves along a scenic country road in peak travel season.

LUXE FALL ESCAPES

Fall foliage doesn’t have to mean elbowing tourists in Vermont or sitting in traffic on Route 100. Luxe fall escapes exist far beyond the New England postcard clichés. As a luxury travel advisor in Fort Collins, I know where colors pop without the chaos. Picture Virginia’s rolling hills, Oregon’s waterfalls, and Colorado’s golden aspens—all glowing without the crowds. The best part? You can still sip cider and snap your photos, but in places where luxury and breathing room coexist. These escapes turn leaf-peeping into a story you’ll tell long after the leaves are gone.

EAT DRIVE REPEAT

Everyone starts with Tuscany. And honestly, it’s lovely. But when I traveled to Emilia Romagna, something shifted. This wasn’t postcard Italy—it was deeper, richer, more surprising. There’s a rhythm here that’s slower but sharper. It’s not trying to impress. It just does. I didn’t come here for crowds or photo ops. I came for legacy. And what I found was a place where food, history, and horsepower all share the spotlight. Eat Drive Repeat wasn’t the plan—it became the motto. The meals stuck with me. The people left an impression. And the cars? They roared. If you’ve been to Italy once, this is where you go next. Trust me, you’ll never look at prosciutto—or a racetrack—the same way again.
