Icons of Italy

Overview

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 for four 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 for four 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.

We have access to multiple private residences for each destination to increase availability for travelers. The photos shown represent the style and quality you can expect, though the exact residence you’ll stay in depends on availability during your selected dates.
