When to visit

Best time to visit

Good time to visit

Average time to visit

Italy is an exciting place to visit at any time of the year, and most attractions are open all year round. The best time to visit is in May, early June, late September and October. Days during those months are usually warm, and quite long. July and August are hot and humid with many tourists. Since most Italians leave their hot cities in the summer, many restaurants are closed in the cities.

Winter can get cold, particularly January but it is quiet. Temperatures are more favourable in the spring and autumn months.

Itinerary

Fly to Venice

Day 1-4

Venice, Italy

Begin your Italian journey in the enchanting and luxurious city of Venice, a masterpiece of art and history built upon a mesmerising network of 150 canals. Your stay at the iconic Belmond Hotel Cipriani promises vintage glamour and unmatched elegance. Situated on the tip of Giudecca Island, this legendary hotel provides sweeping views of the lagoon, St Mark’s Square, and the outlying islands.

Wander the narrow, meandering streets of Venice and glide along the canals in a traditional gondola, experiencing the city’s romantic allure from the water. With a private guide, delve into the history of St Mark’s Square, marvelling at the grandiose Doge’s Palace, once the seat of Venetian power, and the imposing Campanile. Venture beyond the bustling heart of Venice to explore its lesser-known neighbourhoods, revealing hidden gems of architecture and intimate squares.

Spend an afternoon on the island of Murano, famed for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Enjoy exclusive access to a private workshop where you’ll observe master glassblowers at work and learn the intricacies of their art. For art and culture enthusiasts, a visit to the renowned Peggy Guggenheim Collection or an exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience at the Accademia Gallery is a must. Round off your Venetian experience with a captivating performance at La Fenice opera house, one of the most storied opera venues in the world.

Accommodation: Belmond Hotel Cipriani ( 3 nights )

Day 4-7

Florence, Italy

Arrive in Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance and a city of unparalleled elegance and cultural wealth. Staying at the prestigious Hotel Savoy, a Rocco Forte hotel, you will be perfectly placed in the heart of Florence. Enjoy the sophisticated charm of this historic property, which boasts a collection of exquisite artwork and the much-loved Irene bistro, offering sumptuous Italian fare.

Embark on a journey through Florence's rich history with a private tour of the Uffizi Gallery, home to works by Botticelli, da Vinci, and Caravaggio. Explore the Galleria dell'Accademia to see Michelangelo's David, a symbol of artistic genius. For an unparalleled experience, Scott Dunn can arrange exclusive after-hours access to these galleries, allowing you to admire the masterpieces in peace.

One of the most exclusive highlights of your stay will be a private tour of the Vasari Corridor, a hidden passageway connecting the Uffizi Gallery to the Pitti Palace. Closed to the general public, this corridor was originally built for the Medici family and is lined with an extraordinary collection of self-portraits and historic artworks. Your expert guide will share stories of the corridor's fascinating history and its role in the Medici dynasty's private life.

Stroll through the streets of Florence with your guide, taking in sights like the Duomo with its magnificent Brunelleschi-designed dome and the grand Piazza della Signoria. For a different perspective, visit the artisan workshops of the Oltrarno district where traditional craftsmanship is alive and well, or partake in a private wine tasting in a Renaissance palace to sample Tuscany's finest vintages.

Accommodation: Hotel Savoy, a Rocco Forte Hotel ( 3 nights )

Day 7-10

Rome, Italy

Conclude your journey in Rome, the ‘Eternal City’, steeped in millennia of history and unrivalled splendour. You will stay at the prestigious Hotel de Russie, nestled between the Spanish Steps and the Piazza del Popolo. Its lush terraced gardens and exceptional spa provide a serene retreat in the bustling heart of the city.

Begin your Roman adventure with an early morning private tour of the Vatican Museums, where you’ll have exclusive access before the crowds. Marvel at the Sistine Chapel's awe-inspiring ceiling and explore St Peter's Basilica, taking in its ornate details and grand scale. Step back into history with a private archaeologist-led exploration of the Colosseum, where you’ll uncover the hidden chambers and tunnels that once held gladiators. Continue to the Roman Forum, walking the paths that were once the centre of ancient Roman life.

Discover more of Rome’s artistic legacy with a curated visit to the Borghese Gallery, where you’ll find masterpieces by Bernini and Caravaggio, or enjoy a tailored walking tour through the cobbled streets to the Pantheon and charming piazzas lined with Baroque fountains. Complete your Roman experience with a private dinner in a historic palazzo, savouring authentic Roman cuisine with modern flair.

Accommodation: Hotel de Russie, a Rocco Forte Hotel ( 3 nights )
