Spring in Italy

Take a trip unlike any other to a region of Italy that is less frequently traveled, yet rich in all that this extraordinary country has to offer. Spend time in the country living like the Italians, attuned to their rhythm of La Dolce Vita, which is slow and relaxed.

If you love traveling and exploring Italy, and are tired of seeing the same old sights, this trip is for you. The groups are limited to 10 for the purpose of maximizing everyone's comfort and enjoyment. See our sample itinerary.

Not Included: Airfare, transportation from landing site, most lunches/dinners and gratuitities.
