Day 1 - 3
Spain’s enormous central capital, Madrid, lies on the River Manzanares and is a city of contrasts. Historical monuments like the impressive Royal Palace stand in stark contrast to state-of-the-art skyscrapers; masterpieces by Picasso, Dali and Velazquez adorn the walls of the city’s world-class galleries alongside contemporary modern works; local chefs display a passion for Spanish food at traditional eateries while chic fusion restaurants operate next door. Madrid’s real attraction lies in the seductive lifestyle of its hedonistic inhabitants; indulging in tapas, hunting for treasures at the El Rastro flea market or partying the night away in one of the many lively nightclubs. Make sure to soak up the vibrant street life of the grand, historic Plaza Mayor, Madrid's central square, and spend a leisurely afternoon on the landscaped lawns at the Parque del Buen Retiro.

With attentive service and a warm atmosphere, H10 Villa de la Reina promises a memorable stay in one of Europe’s most dynamic cities.
Flamenco, a lively mixture of dance, song and guitar, is the heart and soul of Spain. It has developed alongside the contrasting historical influences of Arab, Jewish and gypsy cultures. Ava Gardner or Hemingway, they all loved flamenco. In this show you will enjoy the best pure flamenco in a mythical place in Madrid. Experience how heart, soul and the artists' total dedication to their craft is what it's all about.
Day 4 - 6
Welcome to Seville, the passionate heart of Andalusia, a city that effortlessly blends rich history with vibrant modern life! This enchanting capital is truly famous for its fiery flamenco dancing, where passion ignites on every stage, its delectable tapas culture that invites endless culinary exploration, and its magnificent Moorish architecture that speaks volumes of its diverse past.
You can expect to be transported back in time as you explore the grand Seville Cathedral, home to Christopher Columbus's tomb and its iconic Giralda tower, offering breathtaking views of the city. Wander through the ethereal beauty of the Royal Alcázar palace and its serene gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, marveling at the intricate tilework and tranquil courtyards. Then, soak in the grandeur of the expansive Plaza de España, a stunning architectural masterpiece.
Seville's warm, inviting charm and its deep, palpable history make it an inspiring and utterly unforgettable destination. Don't miss the chance to experience a traditional flamenco show in the Triana neighborhood or enjoy an evening stroll along the Guadalquivir River – it’s a city that truly lives and breathes its heritage.
Casa Romana Hotel Boutique invites you to indulge in luxury and charm in the heart of Seville. Located in the historic city center, this elegant hotel offers a unique blend of traditional Andalusian architecture and modern amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring the rich cultural heritage of Seville.

You’ll visit a traditional olive oil mill to learn all about the production process of olive oil. A small tasting of extra virgin olive oil is included. Afterwards, your official guide will take you to Ronda – one of the oldest cities in Spain. The walking tour begins in the 19th-century Alameda del Tajo gardens, offering impressive panoramic views.
You’ll see the iconic Puente Nuevo bridge, which connects Ronda’s old and new towns, as well as the Puente Viejo, Felipe V Bridge, and San Miguel Bridge. The journey continues through the Sierra de Cádiz and the famous “White Villages.”
A highlight is the stop in Zahara de la Sierra, where you’ll admire the Moorish watchtower (Torre del Homenaje) and stunning views over the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park – Andalusia’s first protected area, known for its dramatic limestone landscapes, deep gorges, caves, and rare pine forests. The tour ends with a return trip to Seville.
Day 7 - 9
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.

Founded long before the Italian state—or even the Roman Republic—Naples holds an unparalleled collection of Greek and Roman artifacts. There’s truly no place like it: vast, gritty, and chaotic, yet this modern-day energy plays out against a dramatic backdrop of grand historical piazzas, world-class museums, and stunning Baroque architecture. As the birthplace of pizza and a contender for the richest food scene in a country celebrated for its cuisine, Naples is a paradise for food lovers, offering a dazzling array of local dishes and gourmet experiences.

The picturesque Greek town of Rethymno, set on the honey-coloured shores of the northern coast of Crete, offers a rare combination of history and modern-day luxury, with its ornate Venetian-era old town, tropical beaches, welcoming warm water, and mouth-watering Cretan cuisine. Rethymno provides a lively atmosphere and an eclectic mix of architectural gems. Explore alluring museums, beautiful churches, and historically significant landmarks. Most iconic among these are the magical Fortezza of Rethymno, the insightful Archeological Museum, the striking Guora Gate, and the magnificent Municipal Garden.

Grecotel Plaza Beach House invites guests for the perfect holiday break which combines an ideal beachfront location in Rethymno, comfortable lofts and apartments with self-catering facilities, thoughtful meal plans, free car parking, free Wi-Fi, dining, activities and wellness.
Embark on a journey to uncover the secrets of wine and olive production, paired with a thrilling safari tour that offers the best panoramic views of the region. Our adventure begins with a drive through charming villages and lush landscapes, leading us to our first destination: the Klados Winery in Panormos. Here, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the winery owner and treated to a wine-tasting experience complemented by traditional Cretan snacks.
Our journey continues through the picturesque villages of Sisses and Aloides, culminating in a visit to the historic Vosakos Monastery, once a refuge for Cretan rebels. From the monastery, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Psiloritis and the Mylopotamos area, perfect for capturing stunning photographs. Keep your eyes peeled during the drive; you might be lucky enough to spot wild eagles and goats up close.
Next, we venture off-road to explore an olive mill in the village of Melidoni. Here, you’ll be guided through three different olive oil production processes—ancient handmade methods, diesel engine-assisted production, and modern centrifuge techniques. You'll learn all about olive harvesting and production and, of course, sample some traditional olive oil.
As lunchtime approaches, you'll be introduced to authentic Cretan cuisine at a tavern in Melidoni village. Savor Cretan delicacies and immerse yourself in the renowned warmth of Cretan hospitality. On our return journey, we’ll follow a smooth asphalt route along the national road, guiding us back to Rethymnon town.
