The Italian la dolce vita is difficult to describe. It is something that truly needs to be experienced first-hand. It is found in the ambient sounds of Rome's cobblestone streets, in the rows of vines of Tuscany's tranquil vineyards, reflecting in the immaculate and azure Mediterranean waters, and in the daily interactions with Italy's jovial citizens. The unique authenticity of a trip in Italy will leave you with memories lasting a lifetime.

Why we love it for you: Passion, intimacy, and design are the three fundamental components that define the charm of this exquisite five-star palazzo located in Venice's San Marco district.

Meanwhile, the interiors, designed by a renowned designer, showcase a playful and alluring personality, resulting in an enchanting and seductive ambiance.
Visit Venice the right way and you can’t help but fall in love. The majesty of San Marco Square and the Rialto Bridge is drowned out by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops, but a more authentic and mysterious Venice is just outside of the tourist center. Put down your phone’s map and wander the labyrinthine alleyways, discovering the neighborhoods still lived in by locals with their artisan shops, low-key cicchetti bars, and cozy restaurants overlooking the canals.
Sumptuous palaces and bewitching atmospheres, mysterious cobble-paved alleys and glimpses of eternity. Venice is pure enchantment!
Imagine a city of marble palaces, rich arcades and domes built on and in a lagoon.
Composed by an enchanting network of tiny islands connected by land and water, there is virtually no wheeled traffic, with 'main streets' made of water Venice is so different from any other place in the world.
Embark on an enlightening half day orientation visit that allows you to discover the city's main historic center and major landmarks and get acquainted with Venice's one-of-a-kind way of life escorted by your dedicated guide.

In many ways, visiting Florence today feels like a trip directly into the Renaissance. The energy that inspired the likes of da Vinci and Michelangelo is still palpable, from the grandiose pink and green facade of the Duomo to an unembellished plate of Florentine steak with potatoes. It’s easy to get engrossed by the art and shopping in the historic center, but walk across the Ponte Vecchio to find Florence’s most authentic osterias and enotecas on the left bank of the river.

Why we love it for you: As the name implies, the Gallery Art Hotel pays homage to art in the city that birthed the Renaissance. It is the scenset design hotel in Florence, but revolving expositions from both local and international artists keep the decor fresher than Uffizi. It’s just a few steps from Ponte Vecchio and a short walk from the Duomo but, despite its central location, the hidden piazzetta where the hotel is located is surprisingly quiet, the greatest gift of all in a city as busy as Florence.
Your guide will greet you at the hotel this morning to accompany you on a tour of the biggest landmarks of renaissance. Stroll through the halls of Academia Gallery and marvel at the artwork, including Michelangelo's David.

Italy is steeped in ancient history and today you will pass by one of the most well-preserved residues of it.
Pompeii was a thriving citadelle in the reigning years of the Roman empire. A center for commerce, trade, art, and science. In a catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., it was buried under ash and pumice, thus preserving it to an impressive extent.
On your approximately 1.5-hour drive down to the Amalfi coast, stop for about an hour to stretch your legs and learn about this site from your private local guide.

Upon arrival in Sorrento, check into your hotel for some well-deserved rest before continuing your exploration!
Why we love it for you: Nestled on the stunning Sorrento coastline, Capo la Gala is an exquisite hotel that enchants the soul. Its allure lies in the perfect blend of luxury and natural beauty. Imagine waking up to panoramic views of the azure Gulf of Naples from your private terrace. Indulge in the hotel's elegant spa, where relaxation knows no bounds. The gourmet cuisine tantalizes taste buds with fresh Mediterranean flavors. With its secluded cove and tranquil atmosphere, Capo la Gala is a haven for those seeking an idyllic escape, offering an unforgettable slice of Italian paradise.
While most of Italy is about sightseeing, there’s nothing to visit per se on the Amalfi Coast. Instead of lavish churches and ancient monuments, the rugged coastline is the sight, best enjoyed from a hilltop al fresco restaurant, the bow of a yacht, or inside your car while navigating one of the world’s most scenic drives. Amalfi is a luxurious destination with a humble past, where glitzy villas still intermingle with sleepy fishing villages and bucolic lemon orchards.
Charter your own private boat, a traditional “gozzo” fishing boat and spend the day enjoying the unmistakeable azzure of the Amalfi Coast! Stop for a swim stop at your leisure and disembark in Capri to explore, shop and walk the island!

With an uncanny sense of foresight, Rome was first called the Eternal City 2,000 years ago. Even by today’s standards, it’s still grand in a way that few other places can compare to. The buildings are dilapidated and the roads disheveled, but chaos has never looked so exquisite. The cobblestone streets may be nonsensical, but a wrong turn always leads to an unexpected delight: an intimate piazza, a baroque fountain, or a homey trattoria serving house-made cacio e pepe.
