"An evocative blend of Italian beauty and Art Deco styling, the train was launched by Accor late last year, and operates across a rapidly growing network of routes within Italy (international trips to Paris, Istanbul, and Split are slated for later this year). Two of its itineraries, Italian Swing and Northern Greens, are specifically designed for golfers."
"The liveried conductors and the glossy 1960s-inspired design - most dazzlingly showcased in the bar car, with its curved banquettes, harlequin patterns, and Gio Ponti objets - made a powerful impression. As did dinner. We feasted, as we would do every night, on a menu curated by German chef Heinz Beck, of Rome's three-Michelin-starred La Pergola."
"The journey begins and ends at the Orient Express La Minerva Rome. The hotel reopened at the same time as La Dolce Vita took to the rails and its grand 17th-century bones have been fleshed out with Art Deco, mid-century Modern, and contemporary elements, reminiscent of a mode of travel that has become unfamiliar."
La Dolce Vita, Accor's newly launched luxury train, blends Italian elegance with Art Deco styling and operates across expanding Italian routes with international expansion planned. The train features two golf-specific itineraries: Italian Swing and Northern Greens. The Italian Swing itinerary is a four-day, three-night journey beginning and ending at Orient Express La Minerva Rome, visiting prestigious golf courses including Marco Simone Golf & Country Club (2023 Ryder Cup venue), San Domenico in Puglia, and Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany. The train showcases 1960s-inspired design with curved banquettes, harlequin patterns, and Gio Ponti furnishings. Dinner menus are curated by Heinz Beck, chef of Rome's three-Michelin-starred La Pergola, served nightly throughout the journey.
