Why you’ll love this trip
Italy rewards the traveller who slows down. This journey links three of its most loved regions by train and private coach, with central hotels so you can step straight out into the piazza.
You will taste Chianti where it is made, walk between Cinque Terre villages, cook with a Tuscan nonna and take a private boat along the Amalfi Coast. Shoulder-season departures mean warm days, fewer crowds and better prices.
