Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Monterosso – Arrive on the Ligurian Coast and the Villages of Cinque Terre The five towns of Cinque Terre always offer new experiences to visitors, whether it’s your first experience with the Italian Riviera or one of many trips to this region. The sunlight washes across the Mediterranean Sea to highlight the transitioning shades of blue, from the indigo found near the shore to the shades of cobalt over the deepest sections of the seafloor. Huge boulders support the rugged, sharp cliffs that lead upwards to the garden terraces that overflow with towering basil plants, grapevines, and olive orchards. Your private transfer will meet you at Galileo Galilei International Airport in Pisa and escort you to the edges of the town of Monterosso, the most northern of the towns that connect to Cinque Terre. Your accommodation will stand on a cliff wedged between the terraces and the sea. |
Day 2: Monterosso – Travel Off the Beaten Path with a Hike to Levanto In the morning, the terrace gardens shine emerald in the spreading sunlight. Fishes make their way to market with nets brimming with branzino and large prawns. Farmers and gardeners bring their tomatoes, basil, and eggplants that grow beneath the oak forest that drapes over the hilltops. At breakfast, you will bask in the refreshing aroma of freshly brewed espresso before you venture to Levanto, the town directly north of Cinque Terre. Step onto the old railway built in the mid 19th century that leads from Genoa to Rome, and then connect the secluded towns of Cinque Terre to the outside world for the first time. Cafés set out tables along the narrow streets for patrons eager to bask in the Mediterranean breeze and watch passersby. |
Day 3: Monterosso – Enjoy a Day Cruise and Exploration of Palmaria Island The bakeries of Old Town Monterosso open their doors and fill the streets with the delightful aromas of freshly baked focaccia bread and sweet brioche as it blends into the light aroma of the lemon orchards. After breakfast, you will meet your skipper at the harbor and board a private yacht to tour the Mediterranean waters. The refreshing breeze will blow against your cheeks and carry the sea spray that splashes from the hull of the boat. The gorgeous coastline will pass you buy with views of pastel-painted tower houses and small marinas that contain boats equally as colorful as the homes. You will soon reach the island of Palmaria with a view of the beautiful fishing village of Portovenere as the west end of the island looks out to unfettered sea and sky. |
Day 4: Monterosso – Discover the Charms of Cinque Terre and a Cooking Class At the top of the hill above Monterosso stands the Sanctuary of Our Savior in Monterosso. The street Via Roma climbs the steep hill to reach the church with 7th-century foundations. The various architectural styles of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque periods exhibit how the structure has survived and thrived over the centuries, informing the culture around Cinque Terre and contemporary visitors alike as they explore the province. The first half of the day is at your leisure to explore or relax around the five towns at your preferred pace. Linger beneath the shade of the beach umbrellas or take the train to Manarola to view the second smallest, and also the oldest, of the Cinque Terre towns. |
Day 5: Travel to Lake Garda and Traverse the Enchanting Lakeshore Towns In the morning, you will sip a frothy cappuccino and relax as the morning light sweeps across the sea. Farmers will return to their terraces to cultivate the orange and olive trees as bakeries set their display cases with fresh brioche and cakes. Old town will slowly return to life with café tables placed on the cobblestone streets and umbrellas opened above the beachside lounge chairs. After breakfast, your private transfer will escort you from the Ligurian coast to the town of Salo, part of the Riviera at Lake Garda. |
Day 6: Relish Charming Landscape and Captivating History at Lake Garda Over breakfast, you will sit on your patio and enjoy the stunning view found between Monte San Bartolomeo and Lake Garda, with the pastel painted homes wedged between on the hillsides as the sails of the nearby boats puff in the breeze and cruise into the distance. Today you will continue your discovery of the villages and towns around the lake, whether in the foothills of the Dolomites or nudged the calm, fresh cobalt water. The peak Monte Baldo stands at the backdrop to the town of Malcesine at the height of over 7,200 feet. The town itself looks as though it rises directly out of the lake crowned by the impressive towers of Castello Scaligero. The castle ramparts resemble a fairytale surrounded by the dreamlike landscape of emerald hills and shimmering Lake Garda. |
Day 7: Venice – Visit Padua and Travel the Brenta Canal for a Scenic Ride to Venice Your morning in Salo makes you feel that you could spend years waking up alongside these wooden walkways and never tire of the enchanting culture and captivating landscape. After breakfast, you will give one last lingering glance at the water, the mountains, and the castle on the opposite banks visible beneath the clear sky, and meet your private transfer. You will then make your way to the city of Padua, located in the region of Veneto. |
Day 8: Venice – Enjoy the History, Art, and Culture of Venice on a Full Day Venice is known as the City on the Canal. The wealth and power of the former maritime powerhouse emanate from the elegant architecture and rich artistry that rises alongside the canals. A network of bridges connects the nearly 120 small islands that make up the city, and the iconic gilded figure of St. Mark’s Basilica crowns the eponymous square. The Doge’s Palace strikes a regal pose that edges both the piazza and the Grand Canal. Your guide will meet you in your hotel lobby and introduce you to the quintessential highlights of Venice before you move beyond the iconic bulbous domes of the magnificent campanile of Venice’s historical city center. |

Fishers carry their nets and display the sea bass, clams, and mussels caught that morning as the locals arrive ready to shop. The market is set beside the iconic Rialto Bridge, a 16th-century marble structure that spans the Grand Canal. Gondolas return to the water and drift down the narrow neighborhood canals that lead away from the major waterway. Cafes set out tables and chairs at the edge of the water and add to the peaceful image of the city as you enjoy your last quiet morning. Your will boat meet you at the private dock of your luxury hotel and take you across the Grand Canal to meet your private transfer to Marco Polo Airport for your flight home. |
