Italy8 nights · 9 days4★ Boutique hotelIdeal for couples, families, friends

Overview

A hosted small-group tour, designed and led by Florentine Cosimo Ceccherini. Three nights in Florence give time for the historic centre, the Uffizi and Palazzo Vecchio, Michelangelo's David at the Accademia and a pasta class with dinner. By premium minivan you move to Siena for two nights, with a local guide, San Gimignano's towers and a reserved table at Dario Cecchini's butcher's restaurant in Panzano. The Val d'Orcia day brings sommelier-led Brunello and Vino Nobile tastings and lunch in a former convent in Pienza. The last three nights are in Rome: a guided walk of the centro storico, pizza and aperitivo, the Vatican with a personal guide, the Art Nouveau Coppedè quarter and a farewell dinner. The pace includes a daily midday break.
