Once you've been to Capri you understand why they call it "The Pearl of the Mediterranean"! Take my word for it and all of our guests whom we've taken to Capri. A day trip is nice if that is all the time you have. Once there, you'll quickly realize you may never want to leave. During the day Capri is full of tourists, but in the afternoon and evenings when all the ferry and tour boats have left, Capri blossoms into one of the most beautiful places. The evenings are magical walking hand-in-hand down the narrow streets, enjoy a romantic dinner and stroll back to your hotel with enjoying gelato.
This dream destination has long been a favorite among the elite visitors from all over the world.
Accommodations are in a 4**** boutique hotel with views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Post trip to Croatia
Everyone should plan to visit romantic Venice at least once for its iconic gondolas and cruising the Grand Canal. Watch glassblowers design and shape handmade pieces on the island of Murano in the Venetian Lagoon. Your trip won't be complete without a visit to St. Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace and walking through the colorful yet historical neighborhoods.

Pre-trip add on to Tuscany and Florence
The Cinque Terre is one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in all of Italy — and as a result, one of the most tourist-packed. Traveling in the fall is a good time to visit with cooler days and very few tourists. Walk through the tiny villages and admire their colorful buildings. In addition to the five villages you must also visit Portovenere and Portofino, two of my all-time favorite cities in this region.

On this 11-day trip, you will visit Tuscany for 7 days in a private villa experiencing the Tuscan countryside covered with hamlets and tiny clusters of ancient buildings. This is one of the best times of the year to enjoy the fall colors changing from green to gold to a deep red. Taste the local food and wine of the region and shop for locally made products. In Florence, we will stay 4 nights in a luxury boutique hotel in the heart of Florence within walking distance to the major sites and shopping. Enjoy magnificent views of the Duomo, tour the Uffizi, sit in the piazzas and simply enjoy being in Florence in all of its splendor.
