Day 1 - 3
Experience Rome, the bustling capital of Italy. This city, rich with exciting history and culture, offers an unparalled mix of ancient explorations and modern living. Immerse yourself in the past and explore the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican. Wander through other must-see destinations like The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon. Experiencing the culinary scene is a delight, from traditional pasta to world-renowned Italian gelati. You can explore daily markets such as Campo de' Fiori for local ingredients and fresh food. A stay in Rome promises great experiences all year round, but it is advisable to take seasonality into account. While spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) offer pleasant weather and less crowds, summer (June–August) has a lively, spirited atmosphere — but can also be hot. No matter when you go, visiting Rome promises an unforgettable journey through the centuries. The unique combination of a rich historical past mixed into a thriving and vibrant modern community makes Italy's Eternal City one of the world's most intriguing and inspiring tourist destinations.
Hotel St. Martin is an excellent accommodation option. The hotel is strategically located in front of the Castro Pretorio metro station in Rome. Accommodation options include a selection of well-appointed rooms and suites that are stylishly furnished to ensure a relaxing stay. In-room amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, TVs, air conditioning, tea/coffee-making facilities, and complimentary toiletries. On-site facilities include a restaurant, a café, a bar, and a conference center. Area activities include visiting the Baths of Diocletian and touring the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
Get ready to enter into the legend! Jump into Roman history and discover with an expert guide the "Anfiteatro Flavio", the Colosseum: the largest amphitheater not only in the Eternal City, but in the world! Wake up in the morning at your centrally located hotel and wait for our driver to come and pick you up. You’ll reach the Archeological area with no stress, ready to get the most complete tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Accompanied by a professional guide who’ll provide you with a pocket audio receiver and earphones, you’ll have the chance to visit the Colosseum. The Flavian Amphitheater stood the test of time and stayed pretty much intact: you’ll get to know more about the way Romans used to enjoy their leisure hours while walking inside the original places where they used to watch gladiatorial or animal fights. You’ll reach the Palatine Hill, the place where Rome was founded more than 2772 years ago by the legendary twin brothers Romulus and Remus and you’ll stroll around the Roman Forum, the pulsating heart of ancient Roman life: let your guide tell you everything about those days and take you on a travel through time.
Day 4 - 5
Venice is a small, unique city in Italy’s Veneto region, a historic center made up of 118 small islands in a lagoon of the Adriatic Sea, connected by a complex network of canals and footbridges. The stately palaces and ancient churches remain as fascinating reminders of what was once a major trading hub between Europe and the Orient. From the famous Gothic Doge’s Palace and the breathtaking St. Mark’s Basilica to the awe-inspiring brilliance of Titian’s Assumption altarpiece lighting up an entire cathedral, Venice has remained virtually unchanged for the past 600 years. Other must-see attractions include the Bridge of Sighs, the spectacular Peggy Guggenheim Collection (art gallery), the captivating Gallerie dell’Accademia (museum), and of course, gondola rides along the canals.
Hotel Amadeus is located in the Cannaregio district of Venice. The hotel offers three different types of comfortable rooms with amenities including air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and telephones. The 63 rooms combine classic Venetian style with minimal and contemporary decor, creating an artistic feel. Services available on-site feature cleaning service, reception service, catering service, and general room services. Mirai Japanese Sushi Bar is the restaurant available on-site, serving cuisine combined with a variety of cocktails and a selection of teas.
An unforgettable tour not to be missed! Discover Venice aboard a gondola! The best way to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of a city built on water is on board a gondola. As you glide through the canals of Venice, you will discover the magnificent palaces, churches, bridges, gardens and warehouses that line the city's fluid streets as the sun sets and bathes all the sights in a magical light. Embarking is possible from one of the following gondola stations: Danieli, Dogana, or Vallaresso, Bauer. Ideal for photographers.
Day 6 - 7
Situated in the Veneto region of northern Italy, the city of Verona is a romantic gem that lives up to its literary fame. It’s no wonder Shakespeare chose this enchanting place as the backdrop for Romeo and Juliet. Travelers come to see Juliet’s iconic balcony and experience the city’s dreamy, timeless atmosphere. Unlike its more crowded neighbor Venice, Verona maintains a calm, relaxed pace. The city’s architectural treasures include the incredible 2,000-year-old Roman Arena, which hosts an acclaimed summer opera festival. Baroque façades, stately palazzos, and cobblestone alleys are home to museums packed with historical and artistic treasures. Verona also boasts stylish boutiques and outstanding restaurants serving some of Italy’s finest cuisine.

Within easy reach of the property are restaurants, shops, wine bars, and numerous places of historical and cultural interest.
Day 8 - 9
Florence, the beautiful capital of the Italian region Tuscany, lies in the center of the country. A small city with a big heart, and an even bigger offering of artistic and historical treasures. For centuries, travelers have journeyed to the birthplace of the Renaissance era to marvel at the many masterpieces of architecture and art: Michelangelo's iconic David, the impressive works of Botticelli, the Uffizi Gallery (packed with works by Caravaggio and Da Vinci), and of course, Brunelleschi's remarkable dome — the religious centerpiece of Florence that dominates the skyline. All are absolute must-sees on any itinerary. Once you've ticked off these renowned attractions, you can take a stroll through the vast Boboli Gardens or climb the hill to the church of San Miniato al Monte for a breathtaking view of this beautiful, enchanting city.
This is a Small group course for food lovers that is held in the ancient city centre. This is how one can find out about Tuscan and Florentine culture by being taught some of its celebrated food & wine traditions. On this course you can learn to cook aclassic Tuscan meal, prepared with seasonal and organic ingredients. In a top class cookery school you will be able to make a four-course meal (starter, first course, second course and dessert) under the expert guidance of a multilingual chef. The course will be followed by dinner with the dishes you have prepared, accompanied by a good Tuscan wine and a fun and friendly atmosphere.
Day 10 - 12
Stretching along Italy’s magnificent west coast from the Umbrian border to the Ligurian Sea, Tuscany captures the quintessential romantic image of Italy. For centuries, this enchanting wine region has drawn travelers with its rolling farms, endless olive groves and vineyards, frescoed churches, and charming hillside towns. Despite its pastoral reputation, Tuscany also offers incredible urban experiences: Siena’s grand Piazza del Campo, Lucca’s well-preserved ancient walls, and of course Pisa’s iconic Leaning Tower. But it’s Florence that truly steals the show, with its rich tapestry of Renaissance art and architectural masterpieces that could keep visitors captivated for days. Tuscany is a perfect blend of world-class wine culture, vibrant cities, and stunning countryside.
Hotel Casolare Le Terre Rosse is a short drive away from the town of San Gimignano, Italy. Surrounded by countryside, the property is located in the Chianti Senese area and is within driving distance of Florence, Siena and Volterra. The accommodation is effortlessly elegant.

Guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast and a typical Tuscan meal at the on-site restaurant. Leisure facilities include an infinity swimming pool and a private park.
Day 13 - 14
Set along the glittering Gulf of Follonica is the town of Follonica. Fringed by sandy beaches, it boasts a beach resort feel with less bustle. Laidback and welcoming, it's a town that attracts tourists for its wide sandy beaches that have a Bandiera Blu designation, the green hills inland, and the nature parks nearby. In fact, Follonica may be a busy seafront town, but it's practically surrounded by nature preserves, with the Riserva Naturale Scarlino to the south, the Riserva di Padule Orti Bottagone to the north, and the Riserva Poggio Tre to the east. That gives visitors the best of beach life as well as nature.
Immersed in a pine forest close to the beach of Torre Mozza, The Sense Experience Resort is located in the Tuscan Maremma, a few kilometres from Follonica. Accommodation consists of spacious guest rooms and suites, each equipped with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi access, a television, minibar and an in-room safe.

Italy trip
We are once again very satisfied with Tourlane and the collaboration with Ms. Calabrese. She provided me with detailed information and prepared and organized the Italy trip excellently. Happy to book again 😊
It was a very nice trip and overall we are very satisfied. The Tourlane navigation could be a bit more precise. All the hotels were very good 👍 It was a wonderful time that we would happily repeat again and again.
We were interested in a round trip through Italy and shortly after our inquiry we already received an appointment for a consultation. The conversation with our Italy expert, Lara Schmidt, was simply great. She not only took all our wishes into account, but also rightly advised against one or two locations because of the weather/season. Shortly afterwards we received our offer (route, hotels, rental car), and what can we say — we got a perfectly arranged trip that really included and even exceeded all our wishes. That’s why we confirmed the trip with Lara directly in the next call and are super excited. @Lara: A BIG THANK YOU for the great exchange — you do this with so much heart and en...
Lara has organized my IT Trip for summer with my family. She had some many great ideas and provided so much information about the different regions. I´m really looking forward! Thank you Lara :-)
