Ultimate Italy, by Luxury Gold

Italia! Cuore mio! Better than la dolce vita in the famous Federico Fellini adventure, Italy is a passionate embrace of the senses, punctuated by intoxicating beauty, culture, history and dizzying pleasures. My Luxury Gold Ultimate Italy journey in August, 2017 was a trip heaped with brilliant temptations and dazzling highlights, and sets a lofty new standard of indulgence, cultural connection and exultation. 

Exquisite attention to detail, personalized arrangements and care, and only the finest touches distinguish the Luxury Gold portfolio, and Elena, our 24/7 Travelling Concierge, elegantly and deftly handled all, inspiring us to relax and surrender to a perfectly organized holiday. 

Private, VIP access to iconic sites (experiencing the Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel with just a handful of visitors, as just one example – and yes, completely spectacular and absolutely worth it!), the Michelin star dining, Prosecco and wine pairings, and brilliant service spectacle at the critically acclaimed Mammà in Capri (the gorgeous views of the escarpment down to the Bay of Naples!), and superb highlights and surprises at every turn have to elevate this journey to the top of my list of all-time favourites! 

This is the journey of journeys in Italy – and this is really something coming from me. If you want to indulge in the Italian ‘Dolce Vita’ lifestyle like a Golden Age Sophia Loren or Marcello Mastroianni, abandon all worries and schedule your pleasures with your attentive and doting Luxury Gold Travelling Concierge.

Ultimate Italy is the perfect vehicle for your starring role. Ready for your close-up in the most spectacular of settings? 

Traveller tip: Ultimate Italy includes an incredible #maketravelmatter visit to the charming and impressive Marta Cucchia, director of Laboratorio Giuditta Brozzetti, recipient of a TreadRight Foundation grant, to learn how artisans are preserving the heritage craft of traditional textile weaving with 19th-century looms in a beautiful 13th-century Franciscan monastery atelier. A surprisingly fascinating, moving and personal experience. You are sure to find a much-loved Italian tesoro to take home and love – maybe for generations to come.

Looking to add on another ‘see it to believe it’ experience? Indulge in the classic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train journey. Depart Venice for a romantic overnight journey to Paris aboard one of the foremost train experiences in Europe, with the impressive Champagne Bar and extravagant restaurant cars laying out an unforgettable dinner prepared by master French chefs. The perfect way to say arrivederci Italia and bonjour à la France.
