Rome
Kick start your stay with a warm welcome at check in at the elegant Hotel Villa Rosa or the homely Hotel Patria and get ready to unleash your wanderlust in a romantic city with a fascinating history and ancient adventures! Built by one of the most advanced civilisations of the ancient world, you’ll explore a limitless number of places to fill your Insta feed, from simply appreciating the city’s incredible renaissance and gothic-style architecture to admiring the city’s best dishes and sculptured gardens. Get your culture-fix while walking in the shadows of gladiators at the imposing Colosseum, a stunning monument to the city’s Roman past. Relive the Renaissance by visiting Vatican and Sistine Chapel, wandering around the famous streets of Vatican City and Vatican Museums and making the most of your opportunity to visit the world's smallest state and its bounty of stunning art. Afterwards, visit the other must-sees such as the Trevi Fountain, St Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon, Palatino and the seemingly never-ending supply of eclectic galleries, smaller museums and boutique shops. Your only limit for this stunning city is how much excitement you can cram into each day!
Florence
Home to masterpieces of art and architecture, it’s no wonder why many tourists flock to the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region. You’ll be staying in the heart of this beautiful city at the Hotel San Giorgio, a charming hotel, ideal for strolling around and taking in the awe-inspiring architecture, with cultural hot-spots such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace providing ample entertainment. Be inspired by the Florence cathedral, with its uniquely terracotta-tiled dome and beautiful bell tower, or feast your eyes on Michaelangelo’s 'David' at The Galleria dell'Accademia, one of a plethora of museums and galleries interspersed throughout this cultural hub. For romantics, head to Ponte Vecchio or one of the several other bridges that cross the Arno River for a spectacular sunset view, or amble up to Piazzale Michelangelo to take in the crepuscular panorama from above the city - they will surely be impressed! When the sun goes down, take refuge in any one of the city's mouth-watering restaurants or chic bars for an evening filled with authentic food and wine. This is the time and the place for the finer things in life!
Venice
Get ready to fall head over heels for the city pulled straight from a picture book, explore enchanting canals and big sights, become utterly charmed by the quaint bridges, dramatic architecture, and narrow streets promising surprises at every corner. After checking in at either the delightful Hotel Venezia or the enchanting Hotel Garibaldi (winner of a TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Award), head into the city and discover hidden piazzas, authentic tratorrias, bars serving crisp glasses of Aperol Spritz, and ice cream parlours serving flavoursome gelato. Along the way, you simply have to see the Piazza San Marco and the incredible Basilica di San Marco, Doge’s Palace and Torre dell’Orologio. While you’re sightseeing, why not head out to some of the lesser-known islands that surround Venzia. Murano is famous for its glass-blowing factory, while Burano and Torcello are praised for their lace-making shops, ornate palaces, and churches. Of course, a romantic trip on a gondola never goes out of style in the City of Water…
Lake Garda
Lake Garda for the most unmissable views of this awe-inspiring area. Garda town sits nearby on the shore of the lake, in a wide horseshoe bay speckled with colourful buildings and mesmerising waters. Stroll through the many cafes, restaurants and shops, stop for a drink as the sun goes down, or enjoy an ice cream as the reflecting sun makes this gem of a holiday destination shine. A geographically stunning location, keen photographers, water-sports enthusiasts and sun-seekers will be drawn to this alluring shoreline, but secretly, there's nothing nicer than simply soaking in the idyllic scenery. Take a cable car and glide thousands of metres above sea level to gain a proper appreciation of Italy’s largest lake. Water sports, walking trails and the world-renowned thermal springs of Terme de Sirmione provide plenty to do for those who favour a busy holiday. For the adventurous and culture-crazed, hike to Bastion to see some unforgettable views, visit the 19th century San Martino Tower, or take a sunny stroll along the Ciclo-Pendonale to Lazise-Bardolino route. And after a day of soaking up the scenery, having fun on the water or sampling some sumptuous food, retire in a bright and airy guest room at the Hotel Affi, winner of a TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Award! Whatever you fancy getting up to, you're sure to find it in Lake Garda...
