Today will be spent exploring the beautiful city of Lucca, with its Renaissance city walls, cafe-hemmed piazzas and grand cathedral.

Day Three: Vintage cars and Villas
It’s time for an adventure, as you set off into the Tuscan countryside by vintage car. You’re heading to your home for the next three nights – a luxury private villa, complete with swimming pool. There’s no hurry to get there though, so feel free to stop to take in the view or break for lunch along the way. Upon arrival, enjoy the sunshine and swimming pool before being served dinner cooked just for you by a private chef.

Day Four: Gourmet extravaganza
It’s a full gourmet day today, with two exclusive foodie experiences. This morning, you’re in the kitchen, as you take an Italian cookery class with your private chef. You’ll learn insider tips and tricks on how to make a slap-up Italian lunch from scratch – and then you’ll get to eat the results. Later in the afternoon it’s time to head out for an extra special wine tasting, where you can taste the local vintages and even blend your own wine with the help of an expert sommelier.

Day Five: Florentine delights
Time to return to the city, on a day trip to beautiful Florence with your private driver and guide. They’ll show you the highlights of this centre of Renaissance Art, then let you find the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch. In the afternoon, choose from two activities depending on your interests: you might like to discover how to tool and fashion leather in a workshop with one of Florence’s craftsman, or perhaps you would prefer to create your own signature fragrance to take home as a souvenir (Perfume Laboratory Experience at an additional charge - see Extras Tab for more information). Finish your day with an evening aperitif, before heading back to the villas for your last night in Italy.
