Hotel Ponte Sisto, Rome
Enjoy a 2-night stay in a superior double room (one queen bed or two twin beds) including daily buffet breakfast for two, subject to availability. Guest rooms overlook either the charming courtyard or the garden of the historic Palazzo Spada. The 4-star Hotel Ponte Sisto is a gorgeously renovated palazzo and just steps from Trastevere and Campo de' Fiori. Located in the heart of Rome on a quiet downtown street, you are within walking distance to the Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Via Giulia and the Trastevere district.

For your convenience, you may wish to split your stay so you have one night at the beginning of your trip and one night at the end in Rome.


Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa (Barga, Lucca)
Enjoy a 5-night stay in a deluxe room (one king or two twin beds) including daily breakfast for two at the #8 Resort in Europe according to 2017 Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Awards and #4 Best Hotel in Tuscany according to 2018 U.S. News Ranking.

This luxury Tuscan resort offers an off-the-radar, authentic Tuscan experience inspired by local traditions. The Renaissance overlooks the mountainous Serchio Valley, one of the most unexplored areas of Italy. Here guests can discover nearby quaint medieval villages, Barga and Lucca, or travel within one or two hours to well-known city favorites, like Florence, Pisa, and Cinque Terre. The property also offers a full-service spa, two restaurants and a bar serving local cuisine, two swimming pools, a health club, and varied excursions within the surrounding area.

NOTE: Tuscany is 200 miles north of Rome, approximately 4 hours by car or 3 hours by train.

"La Cucina Italiana", Fattoria Colleverde (Lucca)
Enjoy lunch, tour of the wine cellar and olive oil mill and tasting for two at Fattoria Colleverde, an organic/biodynamic vineyard producing some of the most distinctive wines and olive oil in Tuscany. Owners Francesca and Piero welcome you to Fattoria, where you will cook with Chef Rodolfo as he shares the secrets of Tuscan cuisine with you -- including how to make fresh homemade pasta!

Fattoria Colleverde is a half-hour drive from Pisa and an hour drive from Florence and Cinque Terre.

Available April through early November (Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri, excluding Easter Monday). During winter months, an alternate culinary experience or cooking class at the Renaissance can be arranged for you.
