Your journey begins on the shores of Lake Como, where colourful waterfront villages, grand historic villas, and mountain views create one of Italy's most recognisable settings. Spend your time wandering the streets of Como, take the funicular up to Brunate for panoramic views across the lake, or hop on a ferry to Bellagio or Varenna.
-
Next, you'll make your way to Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake, where lively lakeside promenades meet charming historic towns. Staying in Desenzano del Garda puts you within easy reach of the medieval Scaligero Castle in nearby Sirmione and the impressive Roman ruins at the Grotte di Catullo. The region is also known for its vineyards, olive groves, and local wines, making long lunches and evening aperitivos part of the experience.
-
Your final stop is Florence, where centuries of history, art, and architecture come together in one of Italy's greatest cities. Spend your days admiring the Duomo, crossing the Ponte Vecchio, browsing masterpieces inside the Uffizi Gallery, or wandering through the artisan workshops of the Oltrarno district. Between sightseeing, stop for a traditional bistecca alla Fiorentina, fresh pasta, or a scoop of gelato from one of the city's much-loved gelaterias before soaking up the atmosphere in one of its beautiful piazzas.
-
Throughout the trip, you'll stay in three carefully chosen hotels, each offering a different experience. In Como, Barchetta Excelsior enjoys a fantastic lakeside location overlooking Piazza Cavour, with comfortable, contemporary rooms, many featuring lake views. In Desenzano del Garda, Villa Rosa Hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and a welcoming terrace just moments from the waterfront. Your journey finishes at MH Florence Hotel & Spa, where modern rooms, marble bathrooms, a wellness spa, and an indoor pool provide the perfect place to relax after exploring the city.
