Days 1 and 2
Welcome to Milano and the Lombardy region of Northern Italy! We’ll start with our feet on the ground in Milano where we’ll shake off our jet lag with a small walking tour of the city including a stop at the world famous Duomo, The Last Supper, and the stunning Vittorio Emanuele Galleria. Then sit back, relax, and take in the scenery as we head south to the Pavia region and the amazing agriturismo called Borgo Santuletta.
We’ll spend two nights enjoying the laid back ambiance of this incredible, laid back, hilltop destination. With gourmet casalinga, a superb wine list, and poolside views that can’t disappoint, this rare gem is the perfect launch to an Italian adventure like no other.
Days 3 and 4
We are headed north toward our next amazing experience in Lake Como, where we will enjoy lakeside vistas and some of the best food Northern Italy has to offer. We will check in to the charming village of Bellagio, as we relax in pure European style.
Our two night stay here in this European hot spot is just the right note of glamour and laid back holiday vibes. From stunning views to amazing cuisine, Lake Como
