Remember the heartwarming children’s book, Strega Nona? The one with the delightfully mischievous grandma and her magical pasta sauce? Well, get ready to embrace a whole new meaning to “Strega Nona Fall.” This season, a very wholesome fashion and lifestyle trend is taking hold on TikTok<\/a>, urging us to slow down, savor the simple pleasures, and reconnect with nature \u2014 all inspired by the spirit of Strega Nona (and leaving me wondering, “What won’t<\/em> inspire a TikTok trend these days<\/a>?”).<\/p>\n

Forget the hustle and bustle of fall foliage tours and pumpkin carving contests. This year, it’s about cozy nights by the fire, indulging in soul-warming meals, and immersing ourselves in the beauty of the changing season. From vineyard walks in Napa Valley to stargazing under the Icelandic sky, we’re giving you a curated list of dream destinations that perfectly capture the essence of Strega Nona Fall.<\/p>\n

So, put on your favorite sweater, grab a steaming mug of something comforting (for me, I’m reaching for my favorite fall drink: hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick), and get ready to discover the magic of a truly slow and cozy autumn escape<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Cozy Cottages and Self-Care: Barnsley Resort<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Layer up and gather around the fire \u2014 Strega Nona Fall is in full effect at North Georgia\u2019s Barnsley Resort<\/a>. This 3,000-acre resort is home to 39 newly renovated cottages, perfect for embracing your inner Strega Nona and posting up in a cozy setting. The cottages range from one to seven bedrooms and boast a rich heritage color palette of blues, greens, and rustic earth tones. Stay toasty with an en-suite fireplace, unwind with a bath in a clawfoot tub, or simply enjoy a glass of wine on the cottage\u2019s porch swing. Here, there’s no need for conjuring healing spells, as the resort is home to a luxurious spa. Indulge in the Barnsley Tea-LC body treatment, a healing concoction of its own that combines the benefits of herbal tea with classic spa rituals. Lastly, it wouldn’t be Strega Nona Fall without pasta. Woodlands, one of the on-site restaurants, offers the signature Barnsley Beef Bolognese, sure to delight and warm one’s soul. Afterward, toast up a s\u2019more at the outdoor Village Green fire pits while wrapped in a blanket before cozying back up in a private cottage.<\/em><\/p>\n

With warm rustic touches from the grand staircase under an antler-clad chandelier to cozy in-room fireplaces, The Rusty Parrot Lodge & Spa<\/a> invites guests to say goodbye to brat summer and officially enter Strega Nona Fall. Mid-late fall is an especially breathtaking time to visit as this luxury boutique hotel is nestled at the gateway of two national parks in Jackson, WY offering majestic views of the fall glow without the hustle and bustle of the summer crowd. Peacefully take in the amber, red, and gold glistening leaves against the rocky mountain backdrop without having to leave the comfort of the property as the lodge is home to a heated rooftop deck, known as the Perch, ideal for spotting local flora and fauna, or curl up with a good book and warm cup of tea in hand at the Lodge\u2019s Library and indulge in a freshly-baked cookie, prepared daily at the hotel \u2014 no magic cooking needed! When it\u2019s time to sup, guests can indulge in comfort food dishes at Wild Sage Restaurant, such as rabbit pappardelle and seasonal poutines, that will warm the soul. When booking four or more nights, take advantage of the Secret Season Package<\/a> which includes a half-day wildlife tour with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari, a Secret spa treatment, a Secret cocktail or mocktail, and tickets to Astoria Hot Springs.<\/em><\/p>\n

As the leaves change color and weather gets cooler, we trade the refreshing, summer sips for cozy drinks that blend all the favorite flavors of fall. This year is all about channeling a Strega Nona inspired season\u00a0\u2014 staying warm, slowing down, and indulging (shamelessly) in lots of food and drinks that pair perfectly with the weather. The AC Hotel Columbus Dublin<\/a> is home to VASO, a rooftop restaurant dream with views of the falling leaves and orange and brown hued trees. The menu consists of small bites to larger plates, perfect for sharing and encouraging leisurely dinner evenings with family and friends \u2014 especially when those evenings can be enjoyed in a cozy igloo complete with warm blankets and the perfect playlist to add to the ambience. After the sun sets and paints the sky with colors that match the foliage, groups can stroll around the charming town of Dublin full of cobblestoned streets, fairy villages full of magic, and views that look straight out of a page of Strega Nona. This midwest gem is the perfect destination to slow down and cozy up, for more information visit achoteldublin.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Embrace a slow and cozy fall just like Strega Nona would have wanted at Villa Bok\u00e9h<\/a> in Guatemala\u2019s charming city of Antigua. A former private estate turned 15-room boutique hotel, guests will feel like they stepped into a storybook surrounded by romantic plazas, a serene lagoon, and hidden gardens all within the property. For the ultimate Strega Nona aesthetic, book the Siena Suite, designed with a fall-inspired palette of creams, beiges, and pumpkin-hued terra-cottas complete with its own outdoor fire-pit for cozy nights curled up with a book and glass of wine (or making your own Strega Nona potion).

Perched atop the cascading hills of Tuscany, Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa<\/a> invites Strega Nona travelers to shift gears and slow down. Here, guests are invited to simply sit still and relax while taking in panoramic views of the Sercchio Valley and the town of Barga, filled with authentic Italian restaurants with dishes hand-made by actual nonnas. Curl up by a fireplace with a bold red wine in hand or pamper oneself with a healing spell (err, treatment) from the on-site spa. And Strega Nona simply wouldn\u2019t be Strega Nona without pasta. The resort\u2019s executive chef offers a pasta-making class where one hand-rolls the dough and creates the sauce for a rich and filling pasta supper.<\/em><\/p>\n
