There’s a term in Italian, villeggiatura, when roughly translated, means “holiday”. But delve a little deeper, and you will realise that the cherished Italian tradition of villeggiatura holds far more meaning than just a vacation. It’s finding rest in delightful destinations, in endless summers, in cherished moments with family, in relishing each bite with intention, and in embracing the gentle rhythm of slow travel.
If the idea of villeggiatura appeals to you, mark your calendar. From 14 January to 15 February 2025, the Mandala Club will transform into a beacon of Italian culinary artistry, thanks to a partnership with Belmond, the icon of slow, luxurious travel.
The exclusive four-week residency, Mandala Club x Belmond: A Taste of Italy, is going to transport diners straight into the heart of Italian summers through their stomachs. Guests will embark on an epicurean journey through Italy’s most storied regions with four chefs from Belmond’s Italian properties.

Each experience will be a symphony of authentic Italian flavours, meticulously crafted menus, and captivating storytelling that celebrates the beauty of slow travel in Italy. From Venice’s romantic canals to Tuscany’s rolling hills, the Amalfi Coast’s dramatic cliffs to Sicily’s sun-soaked charm, this culinary odyssey will reflect the soul of its region, immersing diners in the rich culture, heritage, and passion behind Italian cuisine.
