Experience the delights of northern Italy from Florence to Venice as we explore the beauty of the Ligurian coast and Cinque Terre, to the gastronomic delights of the Po valley and the lush vineyards and grand lakes of the Veneto region.

Visit gorgeous seaside towns and Medieval walled cities, witness the birth of iconic fast cars and fine cheeses, taste delicious wines and local specialities and enjoy fabulous shopping. Create a fine meal in our own villa, explore fascinating ancient sites and revel in the beauty of magnificent lakes.

Savour delicious meals that celebrate the traditions of the "Slow Food" movement, created with skill and passion and enjoyed in beautiful settings with time to appreciate the tantalizing contrast of flavours and aromatic delights, from fine gourmet cuisine to delicious traditional fare.

Our journey begins in a lovely boutique hotel in the magnificent walled city of Lucca, followed by a small luxury hotel in Bologna, the gastronomic capital of Italy. Finally, we stay in an elegant hotel in the heart of Verona, with its rich historical and cultural heritage and magnificent Roman arena.

We look forward to sharing many delightful experiences with you as we explore the flavours, culture and beauty of northern Italy.
