La Villeggiatura Monopoly
With summer in full swing, we learn yet another way to master the art of the Italian getaway. Discover Belmond’s special edition of MONOPOLY La Villeggiatura, a playful twist on the classic game that weaves together our legendary locations – from the Amalfi Coast to Liguria, via Costa Smeralda and Tuscany.
Celebrate the true meaning of summer in Italy with Belmond’s special Villeggiatura edition of MONOPOLY. This playful twist on the classic board game weaves together our legendary locations across Italy. In the game, you can visit Mount Etna in Sicily, sail to Sardinia or stargaze beneath star-filled skies in Tuscany – witnessing the intrinsically Italian concept of Villeggiatura come to life. A term defined as ‘a leisurely stay in a single place’ la villeggiatura is an expression at the heart of the Belmond summer experience across our Italian properties.
In this game, you can buy Belmond’s hotels across Italy – just don’t forget your room service bill, as all the usual rules of the game still apply. As you move around the board, you’ll find moments of breathtaking beauty from an unforgettable Vespa drive around the Amalfi Coast to seeing the sunset over the Florence skyline. There are sights to be seen and dreams to be had, so don’t wait – roll the dice and enjoy this preview of the MONOPOLY Villeggiatura edition.
