A superb touring holiday highlighting Italy's contrasting scenery and sights as we travel on a magnificent circular route, taking in Italy's finest attractions. Our full itinerary shows you the incredible variety to be found in this wonderful country, from the legendary beauty of Lake Maggiore and popular Tuscany to the eternal city of Rome and the fabled Bay of Naples with Sorrento, not forgetting famous Lake Garda.
YOUR ITINERARY DAY 1 - Depart on your scheduled flight to Milan. On arrival transfer to Lake Maggiore for a two night stay in a pretty lakeside resort such as Ispra. Fondly known as the `Lake of Flowers', Lake Maggiore is simply idyllic with deep blue waters, towering mountains, terraced flower gardens, beautiful islands and pretty lakeside resorts. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, stroll along the promenade or take one of the regular ferry boats to explore further afield. DAY 2 - Free to relax and enjoy our optional half day tour of Lake Maggiore taking in the very best of the scenery around the lake and including a boat trip around the Borromean Islands. DAY 3 - Today we leave Maggiore and travel south towards Tuscany. We make a stop at the delightful port of Portofino along the coast from Genoa, where you can indulge in the local speciality `Paciugo' ice cream, before continuing to our Tuscany resort for a three night stay. This coastline is famous for its idyllic beaches which stretch for miles as well as the varied selection of bars, cafés and shops behind the promenades. DAY 4 - Join our included half day excursion to nearby Pisa where the amazing Leaning Tower stands precariously in the appropriately named `Field of Miracles'. The tower took 176 years to complete and is truly a sight which has to be seen to be believed. DAY 5 - At leisure or why not join our optional excursion to Florence the `Art City' and cultural capital of Italy. This beautiful city is home to Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, the wonderful cathedral and some fine shopping (includes city guide). DAY 6 - Our journey continues south through Tuscany before reaching the Lazio region, for two nights in the charming spa resort of Fiuggi, nestling in the hills of Monti Ernici, 40 miles east of Rome. The surrounding countryside is picturesque with rolling hills covered in olive groves and centuries old pine forests. The town itself is centred around two spas which are set in an attractive park, just a short walk from the main shops, restaurants and cafés.
