With today’s Italian escape, you can bask in the balmy ambience of not one, not two, but three essential cities…
We’re offering you a six-night Italian stay with two nights in Rome, Florence and Venice, breakfast, flights and train transfers from €239pp, or nine nights with three nights in each destination from only €299pp, saving you up to 38%*!
Rome, two or three nights
You’ll begin your break in Rome, Italy’s sprawling capital city, where you’ll stay at either Romoli Hotel or MF Hotel, occupying a prime location on the outskirts of the city centre. Both hotels offer renovated rooms boasting refreshing colour palates and fantastic views of the surroundings, while your comfortable double or twin en-suite comes complete with air-con and Wi-Fi. Steeped in history, Rome offers an abundance of ancient ruins for you to explore. Must-see sights include the iconic Colosseum, imposing Imperial Roman Forum, the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, and of course the 2000-year-old Pantheon, Rome’s most well-preserved monument.
Florence, two or three nights
Taking a train, you’ll continue your Italian tour in Tuscany’s Florence, home of world-class renaissance art and architectural wonders. You’ll rest your heads at either Diva Hotel or Albergo Hotel Panorama Firenze in a double or twin en-suite. Situated in the historic city centre, top sites are practically on your doorstep - here, you can marvel at Michelangelo’s masterpieces, people-watch from picturesque piazzas, and arm-in-arm, meander through vivid vineyards in the scorching sun, splitting a bottle of the produce over an al fresco brunch.
Venice, two or three nights
Conclude your Italian escape in style with a romantic excursion to Venice, one of Europe's most sought after cities. You'll spend your stay at either Hotel Aaron or the Hotel Nuova Mestre occupying a prime location in the heart of Mestre’s Old Town. Top sites such as the Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square are not to be missed, whilst a wander through the never-ending cobbled streets is the perfect way to spend a romantic afternoon. You may also want to see the incredible panoramic views from the city’s tallest building, the Campanile, drink like a local at one of the many wineries, indulge in delicious homemade gelato, or opt for a serenaded gondola ride - how romantic! You'll have a truly memorable time...
