Indulge in Ultimate Italy: A Luxurious Journey Through La Dolce Vita

Italy has a way of sweeping you off your feet. It’s in the warm echo of church bells in Florence, the golden light that spills over vineyard-covered hills in Tuscany, the hush that falls over you as you float down a quiet canal in Venice. But if you’re dreaming of an Italian escape that’s less about rushing from city to city and more about soaking in the elegance, the stories, and the soul of this country—then Luxury Gold’s “Ultimate Italy” tour is calling your name.

This isn’t a typical tour. It’s slow, sensual travel designed for those who savor not just the destination, but the journey itself. Over 12 days, you’ll be wrapped in Italy’s warmth, welcomed like family, and treated to moments that will stay with you long after your gelato has melted.

A Love Affair with Italy—Curated to Perfection

There’s something magical about the way Italy makes you feel. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, each region feels like a new love letter. And Luxury Gold makes sure you receive every one of them—sealed with personal touches, exclusive experiences, and just the right balance of structure and spontaneity.

From your private water taxi gliding into Venice to an unforgettable after-hours tour of the Vatican, each moment feels thoughtfully chosen, as if someone quietly asked, “What would make this unforgettable for you?”—and then made it happen.

This tour isn’t about sightseeing. It’s about feeling something deeper. It's for those who want to slow down, linger longer, and experience Italy like a local—with a touch of glamour and a glass of wine in hand.

From the Canals of Venice to the Hills of Tuscany

You’ll begin in Venice, where time seems to slip sideways and the streets are made of water. Here, gondolas sway beneath ancient bridges and masked artisans share secrets of their craft. Your home is the majestic Bauer Hotel, nestled in the heart of the city with Grand Canal views and old-world charm.

Then you’ll glide by high-speed train to Florence—art lover’s paradise, birthplace of the Renaissance, and a city that feels like it’s been waiting just for you. There’s an ease here: mornings at the Uffizi, afternoons sipping espresso under terracotta rooftops, and evenings filled with candlelit dinners in hidden piazzas.

Tuscany is next, and it’s everything you’ve imagined: golden hills rolling into the horizon, cypress trees standing like sentinels, and wine estates where time slows down and everything tastes a little more alive. In the medieval town of San Gimignano, you’ll taste wines that tell the story of the land, poured by the hands that made them.

Then it’s on to the Eternal City—Rome—where ancient ruins hum beneath your feet and twilight makes the marble glow. Here, Luxury Gold will unlock doors you didn’t know could be opened: exclusive access to the Vatican Museums after hours, a private tour of the Colosseum before the crowds arrive, and dinners that feel more like celebrations than meals.

When the Stay Is the Destination

Where you sleep matters—and on this tour, the accommodations are just as remarkable as the views outside your window.

Each property has been chosen with care, reflecting not just luxury, but place. In Florence, the Helvetia & Bristol surrounds you in timeless grandeur. In Rome, the Hotel Splendide Royal lives up to its name with rooftop dining that overlooks the city’s iconic skyline.

These aren’t just hotels—they’re extensions of the experience. Peaceful retreats where you can recharge, reflect, and fall in love with the day all over again.

Dining That Dances on the Tongue

In Italy, food isn’t just nourishment—it’s joy, culture, and love on a plate.

Luxury Gold doesn’t just take you to dinner. It invites you into kitchens, vineyards, and dining rooms filled with laughter, history, and flavor. You’ll meet chefs who treat cooking like an art form and sip wines that have been perfected over generations.

One day might find you at a farm-to-table estate outside of Florence, where the olive oil is pressed just steps from your table. Another night, you're dining in Rome’s Trastevere neighborhood under the stars, toasting with limoncello as local musicians play nearby.

Every bite tells a story—and you’ll get to savor each one.

Why This Tour Feels So Different

This is Italy… refined. Not rushed. Not overcrowded. You’re not checking boxes or waiting in long lines. You’re waking up each day excited, well-rested, and curious about what beauty lies ahead.

Your Traveling Concierge takes care of every detail so you can focus on the magic unfolding in front of you. Transportation, tips, baggage, timing—it’s all handled with quiet grace.

And because the groups are small, there’s room for real connection: with your fellow travelers, with locals, and with the country itself.
