Christel Khalil’s incredible adventure ‘words can’t explain’
Christel Khalil’s summer vacation in Rome has led her to post many beautiful snaps and even a travel vlog compilation. Her 119,000 Instagram followers have been encouraging the social media active soap star to share every little detail of her trip.
The actor captioned her recent holiday photo: “Words can’t even explain… the most amazing Italy trip with my family. Here’s a short recap of all the great memories.” In the montage we see her having fun with her fiancé, Sam Restagno, who is of Italian descent and is loving exploring his roots.

Christel Khalil’s idyllic Italy dream
Khalil is now returning to her home and, let’s be honest, while she captioned one of her Italy posts “think I belong here” she’s an LA girl at heart. After all, the actress grew up in a large family with three older brothers and a younger half-sister.
Khalil also shared a photo of a croissant and beautiful lattes with heart art on them stating “buongiorno”, which means ‘good morning’ in Italian. One post revealed several iconic sculptures and views, which she captioned: “Beautiful day at the #boboligardens in Florence with the fam.”
In another snap, she wrote: “Wandering the streets of #Italy in my favorite @nataliemartincollection dress” as she posed for the camera in a striped flowy gown. Christel also shared a video of the stunning views at the Saturnia Thermal Baths in Tuscany, in the clip she can be seen in a black bikini and a summer hat wading and sitting in the natural hot spring.
