Italy

The art of living well.

YOUR JOURNEY, YOUR WAY

The art of living well.

Long lunches, coastal afternoons, and hotels you will remember as vividly as the places. Explore Italy at a pace that leaves time to enjoy it.

A SAMPLE JOURNEY · 10 NIGHTS

A grand Italian journey

10 nights · Rome 3 · Florence 4 · Venice 3

Days 1–3

Rome

Start with a gentle arrival and an evening in the historic centre. Explore ancient Rome with a private guide, then make room for a museum visit and a long neighbourhood lunch.

Days 4–7

Florence & Tuscany

Travel to Florence for art, artisan workshops, and time along the Arno. Spend one day in the Tuscan countryside, pairing a vineyard lunch with an unhurried village visit.

Days 8–10

Venice

Arrive in Venice and settle into a canal-side stay. Discover quiet lanes with a guide, visit an artisan atelier, and finish with a private lagoon outing.

This route links well by rail. Prefer the coast or Lake Como? We can replace a city stay rather than making every day a transfer.
