Overview

Your adventure begins in Florence, one of the major economic centres and tourist hubs of Italy, located in Tuscany, north of the Chianti region. The Duomo di Firenze, Florence’s iconic symbol, is a cathedral etched onto millions of postcards worldwide and a product of the renaissance. Then, Giotto’s Tower offers a stunning 360 degree view of the city’s surrounding areas in all their glory, and the Palazzo Vecchio, located in the Piazza Signoria,is where fine art, sculptures and murals dwell peacefully. This lively square will have you darting between the various shops and cafes dotted along its edges and marveling at its range of statues. Plus, don’t forget to pay a visit to the Santa Croce church which holds the monumental tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo and many others, and the Boboli Gardens which are home to fascinating sculptures and incredible views of the city.

After a memorable 2 nights stay in Florence’s vibrant core, you’ll find yourself strolling alongside the curling, teal-coloured canals of Venice for a further two blissful nights. Listed as a World Heritage Site, Venice is situated across a group of 118 small islands, enabling visitors to hop between them via sparkly canals and dinky bridges. Churches, palaces and an endless supply of Cucina Italiana and buttery pastaadorn the narrow, cobbled backstreets, and gondolas and vaporetti (water buses) sit bobbing along the ripples of the canals, eager for hopeless romantics to hop on in.

You’re truly spoilt for choice when it comes to activities. Discover the treasures of St Mark’s Basilica or take a trip to Doge’s Palace and the Bell Tower of St Mark which offers unparalleled views of the enticing lagoon. Go island hopping to Murano, Burano and Torcello, three breathtaking pieces of land a mere boat ride away. Visit the exquisite glass museum in Murano, gaze at the dreamy, pastel-colored houses of Burano and wander the quaint streets of Torcello and its famous church.

You’ll rest your weary feet at two top-quality hotels throughout your holiday. In Florence, you will stay at the 4 star Diana Park Hotel. A few steps from the Renaissance masterpieces of Florence, you can breathe air of a charming private hotel, in a good position to visit all the attractions of downtown Florence, dine out in then best restaurants and take advantage of personalised excursions to visit the surrounding Tuscan countryside. The architectural details of the hall, enriched by marbles, antique carpets and decorated stuccos, create a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere.
