LAKE COMO

Begin your journey on the tranquil Lake Como, admiring the views of the towns of Bellagio, Tremezzo and Isola Comacina, situated along the shores of Italy’s deepest lake. Visit the iconic Villa Balbianello, renowned for having served as a backdrop for iconic films over the years, exploring its meticulously preserved interiors and gardens.

A private dinner awaits in the palace, before a nighttime boat ride transports you back to your lakefront hotel. 

DOLOMITES

From Lake Como, take to the skies and touch down in the Dolomites, where a fleet of supercars sets the tone for an adrenaline-filled day. Drive along winding mountain roads that lead to Alpe di Siusi, Europe’s largest high-altitude meadow. Arrive at a secluded alpine hut for a multi-course lunch prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, before arriving at an exquisite mountain-top retreat, renowned for its staggering views over the Dolomites. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and savour this unparalleled alpine location.

VENICE

Helicopter to Venice, before gliding through the city’s iconic canals to your hotel. Savour an aperitif on a waterfront terrace, with views of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. The evening unfolds with a privately guided after-hours visit to St. Mark’s Basilica, granting you exclusive access to its glittering mosaics and domed ceilings. Visit the islands of Murano and Burano, discovering their folklore and customs, stopping at an iconic glass factory. Observe the skill of artisans as they forge objects of art, still employing ancient techniques. Enjoy a leisurely stroll across to Burano, famous for its picturesque canals, lace artisans and brightly coloured fishermen’s dwellings.

 FLORENCE

Soar over to Florence, visiting Fratelli Piccini, a fine jewellery atelier. Meet the designer, sketch your personal piece, and watch as the master goldsmith crafts your creation. Step into an incredible underground medieval hall, steeped in history and once a focal point of Florentine politics during the Medici era for private dining experience in this unique underground space. Spend the night in a 16th century palazzo, home of the biggest private garden in the city. 

Begin the day with a private, pre-opening tour of the Uffizi Gallery: one of the world’s most renowned art museums. Admire works by Italian Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo and da Vinci without the crowds, before journeying south to the Tuscan countryside.

TUSCANY AND UMBRIA

Drive vintage cars to the rolling hills of Val d’Orcia, before delectable Tuscan cuisine is served at the timeless Vitaleta Chapel, paired with exquisite wines from the region. This afternoon, fly over the serene waters of Lake Trasimeno to reach a magnificently restored castello, your home for the night. After breakfast, embark on a truffle hunt, joining an expert forager and his trusted dogs to search for one of the world’s most coveted delicacies. Find and dig up truffles, learning to distinguish and taste the different varieties.

ROME

This afternoon, travel to Rome, where two vintage 1962 convertibles will whisk you around Rome, passing by all the iconic landmarks. Stop at the Forum Romanum for a private after-hours visit, before culminating with a rooftop dinner overlooking the Forum, the menu inspired by Roman culinary traditions and the coveted rooftop terrace exclusively yours. This morning, visit renowned museums and galleries, where a highlight stop at the Vatican Museum includes visits to the classics such as the Sistine Chapel, in addition to the Bramante Staircase and the Niccoline Chapel, which are normally closed to the public. Embark on a scenic flight, passing by Mount Vesuvius, the iconic and still active volcano that buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Fly over Pompeii itself, a Roman city lost for centuries, before landing in Sorrento, where you will head for your final stop on this Italian odyssey.

AMALFI COAST & CAPRI

Conclude your journey on the Amalfi Coast, where a private yacht awaits. Cruise along the shoreline, before arriving in Capri. Visit Anacapri, meeting a local artisan to craft your own pair of custom Capri sandals, an iconic keepsake of your time in Italy.
