Orient Express La Dolce Vita:
Roma – Matera – Palena.

Depart from Rome and head for the magic of Matera and its UNESCO World Heritage treasures. Then discover the “Trans-Siberian Railway of Italy”, a line that winds through the Majella National Park, the most scenic railway in Italy. It is so called because it passes through some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Abruzzo, with views that, during the winter season, are tinged with white, reminiscent of the typical landscapes of Siberia.

Cabins

On board the Orient Express La Dolce Vita, guests can choose between two types of cabins: the 12 Deluxe Cabins (7 m²) or the Suite (11 m²), both with queen-size beds, private bathrooms and designer details. In addition to traditional room service, all carriages offer the highest standard of luxury and a range of dedicated services.
The 12 Deluxe Cabins, authentic oases of tranquillity, offer a refined environment with carpeted floors and wooden ceilings, creating the ideal setting for a journey of pure wonder. The private bathroom adds an extra touch of comfort. As evening falls, the “Great Transformation” takes place: the modular space is transformed in a surprising way to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

The 18 Suites offer a cosy bedroom with a sofa, table, two armchairs and private bathroom. Vibrant shades of orange, terracotta and purple are combined with brass finishes. Smoked mirrors, lacquered ceilings in ‘burnt sienna’, sumptuous carpets and curtains, together with lamps designed by famous 20th-century designers, give the environment a timeless elegance and charm.
