From Rome to Lake Como: A 10-Day Italian Journey of Elegance, Wine, and Romance
Italy—a land where ancient history, exquisite cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes converge to create an unforgettable experience. For those seeking a luxurious blend of romance, wine, and cultural discovery, our bespoke 10-day tour will take you from the Eternal City of Rome to the enchanting shores of Lake Como.
Day 1: Arrival in Rome—Where Timeless Elegance Meets Tranquility
Upon arriving in Rome, your journey begins with a private transfer to the iconic Hotel de Russie, a luxurious haven in the heart of the city. Nestled within its famed Secret Garden, you’ll find a sense of serenity amidst Rome’s lively pace.
Spend the day relaxing and adjusting to the time change. Unwind with a jet-lag recovery massage at the hotel spa or take a gentle stroll through the tranquil Villa Borghese Gardens. In the evening, savor a romantic dinner at La Pergola, Rome’s crown jewel of dining, where the Michelin-starred cuisine is only rivaled by the views of the Eternal City.
Day 2: Slow Mornings and Hidden Gems
Embrace the art of slow mornings with breakfast on the terrace. Once you’re ready, enjoy a guided walk to uncover Rome’s hidden gems—cobblestone streets, quaint shops, and secret squares that most tourists overlook. Your private guide will share stories that bring these places to life, while you indulge in the leisurely luxury of exploring without a plan.
In the afternoon, set off on a private Tiber River cruise—because the best way to see Rome is from the water, with a glass of Prosecco in hand.
Days 3 & 4: Florence—Where Renaissance Splendor Meets Modern Romance
Board your first-class train to Florence and check into Hotel Lungarno, where every room feels like stepping into a classic Italian film. This city isn’t just about the art—it’s about uncovering the stories behind the masterpieces.
Spend the next two days wandering Florence’s art-filled streets. Explore the Uffizi Gallery on a private tour designed for art lovers who want the inside scoop, and spend an afternoon in Oltrarno, Florence’s creative quarter. End with a private sunset boat ride on the Arno River—an experience best enjoyed with someone special and a glass of Italy’s finest.
Days 5-7: Tuscany—The Art of Savoring Life
The Tuscan countryside beckons. A private transfer whisks you away to Castello di Casole, a restored castle surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Here, you’ll experience the true essence of Tuscany through a private cooking class with a local chef, selecting fresh ingredients from the estate’s gardens to create traditional dishes.
The next morning, venture into the heart of Chianti for an exclusive wine tasting tour. Wander through lush vineyards, where you’ll meet winemakers and create your own blend to take home—because nothing says, “I’ve been there” like a custom wine crafted by you.
Days 8-9: Lake Como—Unwind in Italy’s Playground
From Florence, fly to Milan and take a private transfer to Lake Como, where relaxation reaches new heights at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. Start your stay with a private spa session or a leisurely swim in the hotel’s floating pool.
Your next two days are a mix of tranquility and discovery. Take a guided tour of Villa Carlotta and its beautiful botanical gardens, and indulge in a romantic sunset cruise to Bellagio—because if you’re going to do Lake Como, do it in style.
On your final morning, enjoy a quiet breakfast overlooking Lake Como before your private transfer to Milan for your departure flight. If time permits, we’ll arrange a personalized exploration of Milan’s fashion district and the stunning Duomo—perfect for one last moment of grandeur.
