Venice - Florence-Orvieto- Rome

September 21st to October 2nd 2026

As the light softens and the rhythm of September settles over Italy, we set out on a handcrafted journey through beauty, connection, and playful elegance.

From the shimmering canals of Venice to the Renaissance splendor of Florence, the iconic charm of Padua, and the eternal allure of Rome,
this 12-day Italian odyssey is a symphony of culture, flavor, and movement

designed for those who crave meaning in motion, soul in scenery, and a touch of spirited fun.

Each day invites you to glide through hidden waterways, wander storied streets, dine beneath starlit skies, and sip wine where the locals linger.
Pasta will be handmade, piazzas sun-drenched,

 and

every moment thoughtfully curated by Karen Noel of Xperience World Travel,
where wanderlust meets intention, and amid the wonder, we train.

Guided by Brett Noel, three-time national gold medalist

 and

 head coach of the Global Pickleball Training Academy,
you’ll receive personalized instruction in some of Italy’s most picturesque settings

from shaded garden courts to open-air piazzas.

Whether you're stepping onto the court for the first time or fine-tuning your game,

 Brett’s expert coaching makes each session a joyful and energizing part of the journey.

This is more than a trip.
This is la dolce vita in motion—
an awakening of the senses, a celebration of movement, and a once-in-a-lifetime Xperience,
one rally, one recipe, one unforgettable moment at a time.
