Icons of Italy brings together three of the country’s most celebrated destinations, offering a flexible way to experience Italy’s beauty, culture, and timeless charm. This curated experience allows travelers to choose the Italian escape that best matches their style - romantic, coastal, or culturally rich.
In Florence, guests stay in a centrally located private residence designed for comfort and connection, with space for up to six travelers. Days are filled with art, history, and highlighted by a traditional Enoteca wine tasting that introduces the flavors and heritage of Tuscany.
In Venice, travelers enjoy a private residence just steps from iconic landmarks. The included Hidden Venice Tour ventures beyond the well-traveled routes to reveal quiet neighborhoods, historic architecture, and fascinating stories that bring the city’s character to life.
In Montepulciano, a private countryside residence overlooking the Val di Chiana offers a tranquil Tuscan retreat. Surrounded by gardens and access to a shared pool, the setting is complemented by a visit to a local winery to enjoy regional wines and a meal among the vineyards.
