From the meandering alleyways of Venice to the Renaissance treasures of Florence and the grandeur of Rome, each moment of your trip is exquisitely curated.

Next, join an exclusive land tour to stay at luxury hotels across Italy. Sail to Capri and admire the dramatic Faraglioni Rocks before indulging in Michelin-starred dining overlooking the Gulf of Naples. In Assisi, view Giotto’s frescoes with a local historian. Join a hands-on cooking class in Tuscany. This is Italy at its most indulgent, immersive and inspiring.
