“In recent weeks, I’ve visited some truly special places that reminded me why house museums and former private gardens hold such a unique appeal,” says Indagare founder Melissa Biggs Bradley. “Unlike stately institutions, house museums invite you inside the personal world of their former residents, allowing you to see their art and collections—and their way of life.” Discover Melissa's list of the world’s most enchanting—and haunting—house museums here:? https://lnkd.in/eXWxqWTJ

The start of the year is traditionally a slow period for travel, but Indagare members are on the go, taking 25 percent more trips in January and February compared to last year. Some of the jumps were to be expected—warm weather escapes or ski getaways—while others were to places that hadn’t previously been thought of as major winter destinations. Explore the key takeaways on what we’ve been seeing so far in the first two months of 2025 here:?https://lnkd.in/erhFPJWk

Indagare on the Ground: Four Seasons Hotel Firenze “The soul of the property is based on its fascinating history and with original frescoes by Il Volterrano, sculptures scattered throughout the property and the largest private garden in the city, you feel like you are in your own semi-private museum—all while receiving treatment as though you are a dear friend staying with a noble family,” explains Indagare’s Emma Fitzpatrick, who recently checked in at this Florentine gem. “People travel to Florence to catch a glimpse of the Renaissance and this property takes you back in time.” Our team is on the move—on the lookout for new discoveries and revisiting old favorites—to keep our travel intel fresh for our members.

“I left New Zealand the way I always do: with my spirit refreshed from all the days spent outdoors, hiking and walking through ancient landscapes amid awe-inspiring natural beauty,” writes Indagare COO Eliza Harris. “This time, however, I felt I understood the forest, mountains and the country in a deeper way, having met so many wonderful people, and having been fed spectacularly, body and soul.” Read Eliza’s report on her immersive trip to New Zealand’s South Island here:? https://lnkd.in/ei7mvTPP
