An Italian Summer, thoughtfully layered from countryside to coast to city

Real Client Itinerary

Days 1–3 | Florence
Arrival into Florence with a stay at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, a serene retreat just beyond the city center, known for its private gardens and understated luxury. Time is intentionally unstructured, allowing for a slow arrival—morning espresso, Duomo strolls, and easing into the rhythm of Italy.

Day 4 | Coastal Day Escape
A private driver leads a full-day escape to the coast, offering a contrast to the city’s architecture. The day is spent basking in the sun, lingering over long seaside lunches, and taking in the effortless elegance of Italy’s coastal lifestyle.

Days 5–10 | Tuscany Countryside (Castellina in Chianti)
The journey continues into the Tuscan countryside, settling into a private villa near Castellina in Chianti for a week designed around slow, immersive living.

Days unfold with intention:

  • Day trips to Siena and Montepulciano

  • Truffle hunting experiences through the hills

  • Private chef lunches featuring seasonal, local ingredients

  • Visits to lesser-known villages and hidden corners of the region

Evenings are reserved for what Tuscany does best—wine on the terrace at sunset, followed by private cellar tours within the estate, creating a sense of place that feels both intimate and unforgettable.

Days 10–14 | Rome
The final chapter unfolds in Rome, where history and access take center stage.

Experiences are elevated and exclusive:

  • Early morning “Key Master” access to Vatican Museums before public opening

  • Rooftop aperitivo at sunset paired with live opera

  • A private visit inside a historic Roman palazzo, including time with a noble family

  • Exploration of Ostia Antica, offering a quieter, more atmospheric look into ancient Roman life

This itinerary was designed to capture the essence of Italy in layers—beginning with art and architecture, slowing into countryside living, and concluding with depth, history, and unforgettable access in Rome.
