Perfect for first-time visitors and experienced travelers alike, this package is focused on the highlights of the "Bel Paese". From the marvels of the Eternal City to the Renaissance splendor of Florence and the incomparable atmosphere of Venice, this affordable package includes accommodations in selectively chosen 3-Star Hotels, Museum Reservations, a Private Walking Tour and Ground Transportation.
Your sojourn begins with three nights in Rome, where you will stay at the charming Hotel Fontanella Borghese, indeally located near Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, just off of the Tiber. This superb location is an ideal starting point from which to explore not only the most famous of Rome's monuments, but her exclusive boutiques, fine restaurants and many theaters as well. Included in your package is a Half-Day Private Walking Tour, which will give you a greater understanding of the city, her monuments and Rome's prominent place in world history.
Florence beckons, and from Rome it's off to the capital of Tuscany and the birthplace of the Renaissance. Opened in 1999, the 3-Star Hotel Relais Uffizi seems almost too good to be true as it is hard to imagine a better location. At the Relais Uffizi your morning cappuccino can be enjoyed overlooking Piazza della Signoria - the heart of Florence and a virtual open-air museum of artwork by Renaissance masters. In fact, it is the only hotel in Florence to actually overlook the famous and beautiful piazza. Just across the square is the Uffizi Gallery, which houses one of the world's greatest collections of artwork including masterpieces by such luminaries as Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci. Your vacation package includes a reservation to this museum as well as the Galleria dell'Accademia [Michelangelo's David], which means no wait and no lines!
Your final destination is Venice - arguably the most unique and romantic city in the world. No other place on earth quite compares with the allure of the city often called "La Serenissima". During your two nights in Venice, you will stay in the heart of the city at the delightful 3-Star Hotel Violino d'Oro. From here the treasures of Venice are at your doorstep, including the glittering, mosaic-encrusted Basilica of St. Mark, the lavish Doge's Palace and the Galleria dell'Accademia. While the treasures of Venice will certainly amaze you, the pleasures of Venice are sure to delight. From brightly-lit shops featuring exquisitely hand-blown Murano glass to exceptional restaurants serving the best of Venetian cuisine, we're sure you'll leave Venice wanting more.
