Combine the Renaissance splendour of Florence with time in the Umbrian hills followed by a few days unwinding on the Marche coast.
Start your holiday in Florence with a 3 night stay at the Hotel Aprile, hidden behind the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella. Three nights in this former 16th century palazzo with its pretty courtyard garden allows you ample time to take in the delights of Tuscany’s most famous city.
Two hours’ drive southeast of Florence, the Villa di Monte Solare is the perfect place to unwind after a day’s sightseeing in Umbria. Located just south of Lake Trasimeno surrounded by olive tree-clad hills, this delightful hotel makes the perfect base from which to explore hilltop towns such as nearby Perugia and Assisi or Todi and Orvieto to the south. Alternatively, spend a day learning to cook some delicious Umbrian cuisine at the hotel’s cookery school. We recommend spending 4 nights at the Monte Solare.
Your next stop is the Marche coast where we recommend you stay at the Hotel Emilia for 4 nights. A three hour drive from your base in Umbria, the Emilia has a wonderful location overlooking the Riviera del Conero, just 10km from Ancona. Spend your days exploring the rugged coastline or head inland to visit the lovely towns of Macerata to the south or Urbino to the north.
