Historic Guildhall and cannons along Derry’s ancient city walls under soft Irish light — a blend of history and elegance captured for Ghostly Glamour Ireland, curated by Fort Collins luxury travel advisor Amore Travel Designs.

GHOSTLY GLAMOUR IRELAND

I’ve wandered through countless European streets, but Derry’s felt… alive. The kind of alive that makes you glance over your shoulder—half expecting a poet, half expecting a ghost. Ghostly Glamour Ireland captures that perfect blend of eerie history and refined beauty. Behind its medieval walls, stories of sieges and spirits linger like Irish mist. But beyond the whispers, there’s modern elegance—boutique hotels in restored mansions, candlelit whiskey bars, and private tours that trace centuries of legend. As a Fort Collins luxury travel advisor, I curate Derry escapes that balance history’s chill with Ireland’s warmth.

Colorful half-timbered castle in the forests of Transylvania, Romania, surrounded by lush green trees under a bright blue sky — a perfect setting for a luxury haunted getaway curated by Fort Collins travel advisor Amore Travel Designs

TRANSYLVANIA UNVEILED

Transylvania Unveiled isn’t your average Halloween story. This is where legend meets luxury — think candlelit castles, velvet-lined carriages, and fog that curls through Carpathian valleys. I wandered here chasing whispers of Dracula but found a world far more human — a land of art, wine, and heritage wrapped in old-world mystique. From Sibiu’s pastel facades to Bran Castle’s silhouette at dusk, Transylvania seduces with its contrasts. For Fort Collins travelers craving something beyond the predictable, this is Europe’s most cinematic secret. I can help you experience its haunted heart — minus the tourist clichés.

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.

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.
