Fall foliage in Kyoto
Autumn is one of our favorite times to visit Japan—the days are clear and crisp, markets overflow with seasonal items, and the gorgeous leaves of the fall foliage create colorful backdrops to the rock gardens and wooden buildings of local temples.
Artisans of Leisure travel specialist Stephanie Dosch visited Japan last autumn during peak fall foliage season, which is generally mid-November through early December. We hope you enjoy this Japan slideshow. It offers a sneak peek at what to expect during a fall getaway in this truly rewarding destination.

A private pool at one of the villas at Castiglion del Bosco
Artisans of Leisure founder and CEO Ashley Isaacs Ganz recently returned from Italy, where one of her favorite experiences was staying in a gorgeous luxury villa at Castiglion del Bosco, an incredible resort in the heart of beautiful Tuscany. Designed and owned by the Ferragamo family and now managed by Rosewood Hotels, the exquisite resort captures Tuscany's rustic yet refined aesthetic.
Many of our private Italy tours feature a night or two in the luxury hotel section of Castiglion del Bosco. However, for the ultimate indulgence, we highly recommend having us arrange a stay in one of their villas, which can be booked for as few as three nights. The villas are ideal for families and groups of friends traveling together who want multiple bedrooms, beautiful shared living areas and a private pool. Castiglion del Bosco also has two excellent restaurants, a private on-site winery, a kids club and an ideal location near some of the most interesting towns in Tuscany. Contact us for more information.
