Love, Italy | April - click to register
Take a romantic stroll through the cities of love. Venice, Florence, and Verona.
Mio Caro, I want to take you on a 10 day journey departing in April. We will start with the city of dreams, Florence, where you will feel alive with inspiration from the people, art, and architecture of centuries past. It is all still so much part of my present times, that's what makes it so special to me. Then we will go to the world's most romantic city, Venice, and get lost in the winding waterways and tiny back streets with plenty of time to get to know each other. Caro, we can't miss the city of star-crossed lovers, my sweet Verona, with the songs of angels in the amphitheater and the ever present taste of glorious wine in your glass. I want so much for you to see, to taste, and to hear the delights of my days and nights. I am thinking you will fall in love with bella Italy and as parting is such sweet sorrow, I am hoping you will stay with me forever.
