Itinerary

Arrive in Rome, the Eternal City, where you are met and transferred to your hotel in the city centre. Tonight, join your Resident Tour Director and fellow guests for a welcome reception and dinner.

Immerse yourself in Rome’s mesmeric history, exploring some of the city’s most iconic sights, including the magnificent Ara Pacis of Augustus with its intricate stone friezes depicting ancient Roman life. Lunch features an indulgent classic, fettucine alfredo, served at Alfredo alla Scrofa, the establishment where it was originally created. Then, an A&K-exclusive experience, private entry to the Villa Farnesina, a 16th-century suburban estate boasting sumptuous Renaissance frescoes. Enjoy the rest of your day at leisure, free to explore the city your own way.

Board your private charter aircraft this morning and fly over the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean to the captivating island of Sardinia. Enjoy lunch before stepping back in time at the prehistoric site of Nuraghe La Prisgiona. Continue to your hotel for a leisurely check in, gathering again later for dinner at a local restaurant. 

Venture deep into rural Sardinia on a full-day 4×4 jeep safari. Passing through quaint villages and meandering pastoral landscapes, you’ll pause often to absorb breath-taking views over the ocean and rugged countryside. Stop for a traditional lunch of local specialities at a rustic farmhouse perched picturesquely above the scenic coastline.

Fly by private chartered aircraft to Catania, Sicily. Set out on a foodie tour of the city, exploring its bustling markets and admiring its beautiful Baroque architecture. Lunch can be enjoyed at your leisure before heading to Noto, where your spectacular hotel awaits. Check in and refresh yourself with a ‘Scenic Sundowner’ before a sumptuous dinner. 

Journey to Regusa, a town rebuilt after a great earthquake in 1693 in an archetypal example of the Sicilian Baroque style, where you will stroll the magnificent streets of what is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue to Modica, also a UNESCO-listed site, where you’ll enjoy a delicious introduction to the town’s chocolate crafting skills with a molto dulce Chef’s Table experience that includes a demonstration and tasting workshop. This evening, enjoy time at leisure at your hotel.

This morning, set out into the Sicilian countryside as you ‘Ride Like a Local’ by e-bike. Traverse rural trails to reach a local winery where you’ll taste wine produced with the famous Nero d’Avola grape, one of Sicily’s most important indigenous varieties. Then, take advantage of some time at leisure to stroll through the charming coastal town of Avola. Back at the hotel, after relaxing and enjoying your surroundings, join the traditional passegiatto (pre-dinner stroll) through Noto and dinner at a local restaurant.    

Delve into antiquity, travelling to Syracuse, an early and powerful colony of Ancient Greece. Guided by a local expert, uncover the many layers of rich history, both Greek and Roman, in this age-old city before having lunch at leisure. Transfer to Catania’s airport and board your private charter flight to Puglia, Italy’s enchanting southern region, where you’ll check in to your hotel.

Wander around Locorotondo, a village considered one of the most beautiful in Italy. Lunch will be at your leisure. Proceed to fascinating Alberobello, a town famous for its traditional, fairytale-like trulli houses. Built entirely from stone without the use of mortar, their construction is a dying art with only a few people remaining who know how to create these distinctive structures. Discover the town with a local expert before returning to your hotel.

This morning, enjoy one of these Design Your Day activities:

Take a cooking class with lunch at a local masseria, where you’ll craft pasta and focaccia

Hike the scenic Alto Salento with a guide, stopping en route for a picnic lunch

Embark on an e-bike tour that includes lunch in Ostuni

Later, drive to Ostuni, passing the age-old olive trees for which the region is famous, to visit an olive oil producer with an ancient mill to learn about the fascinating evolution of oil production. Tonight, gather for a farewell dinner.

After breakfast, soak up some final Italian charms before transferring to the airport for your departing flight.
