Thanks to decades of cinema, centuries of art, and millenia of history, everyone is more or less familiar with the fantasy of Italy. You think you know Italian food and Roman landmarks, but not until you arrive in the country do you realize that everything you thought you knew is really just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Every region—every town even—has a unique personality so no matter how many times you visit Italy, you’re always left with the craving for more.

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.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the magic of Florence, but there’s so much more to Tuscany outside of the capital city. Hop in the car and the city quickly gives way to medieval villages, terracotta estates, and endless rows of vineyards. The region is renowned for its history and art, but sensual pleasures reign supreme: copious glasses of wine, simple cooking with seasonal ingredients, natural thermal baths. If you’re seeking la dolce vita, you’ll find it in Tuscany.
This morning, travel to an iconic Tuscan city, San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most splendid examples of a medieval walled town. It is nicknamed the 'medieval manhattan', otherwise called the 'town of the 100 towers', and it's a feast for the eyes.
Here, you will be welcomed in the charming premises of a private family kitchen, in a real Tuscan home! Lace up your apron and enjoy a hands-on culinary experience. Learn the tips and secrets of making crispy delicious bruschetta, fresh hand-rolled pasta or gnocchi, tasty pasta sauces and dessert, too.
Lunch is all'Italiano, and therefore is accompanied by delicious wines. After lunch, enjoy some time at leisure and a stroll through delightful San Gimignano. Walk through quaint cobblestone streets, discover the many tall towers, and browse the pretty shops lined by bottles of Vernaccia di San Gimignano, premium saffron, dainty hand-woven linens and precious hand-made Santa Fina pottery.
Then travel on to discover Siena, one of the most enchanting medieval cities in Italy. Meet your private dedicated English-speaking guide and set off on a memorable walking visit of this exquisite town.

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.

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 extend.
On your drive down to the Amalfi coast, stop for a few hours to stretch the legs and learn about this site from your private local guide.

Visiting Capri is like stepping into a pop art painting, thanks to splashes of color from the iridescent blue in underwater caverns, the juicy red and green of a Caprese salad, or the almost neon yellow of an after-dinner limoncello. Once the daytrippers head back to the mainland in the early evening, this teeming island becomes surprisingly intimate, just in time for a glowing Aperol spritz to sip on while watching the sun set over the horizon.

Whereas most parts of Italy feel like stepping into ancient history, Milan is emphatically modern. You’ll still find landmarks like Italy’s biggest cathedral and frescos painted by da Vinci, but the high fashion, skyscrapers, and trendsetting restaurants give the city a 21st-century undertone. Designer shopping is just as much a part of Milanese culture as aperitivo, the local version of happy hour where drinks are usually accompanied by a buffet of Italian snacks.
