Food & Drink Holidays

During a unique journey between Malta and the C'te d'Azur, fall under the spell of the Mediterranean coastlines, where the light envelops the islands and caresses the shores. On the Sicilian coast, Syracuse whispers ancient legends, Taormina lights up under the calm gaze of Etna, and Palermo rolls out its colourful markets and baroque palaces. In the Aeolian Islands archipelago, Lipari seems to float between the sky and the sea, and majestic Stromboli watches over the horizon like a lighthouse. Portoferraio, between lush hills and coves of turquoise water, reveals all of Elba's beauty, with the sea meeting the land in a unique landscape. Calvi, in the north of the Isle of Beauty, stands with its citadel facing the infinite, bathed by the deep blue of the Mediterranean.

Set off to discover the legendary shores of Italy, along the Adriatic, Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas, via Sicily and with a break at the Croatian island pearl of Hvar. At sea, spectacular landscapes unfold between the deep blue sea, lush hills, secret coves and cliffside villages. Each port of call reveals a facet of this mythical land, at the crossroads of multiple influences: ancient sites bearing witness to a glorious past, treasures of Baroque and Renaissance architecture, sunny squares inviting you to partake in la dolce vita, local flavours.

A unique journey featuring a harmonious blend of thousand-year history, living traditions and Mediterranean panoramas of rare beauty.

Beginning in Milan, this sixteen-day rail journey moves through Italy's most storied cities and coastlines, trading the fashion arcades and gothic grandeur of the Duomo for the pastel harbour fronts of the Ligurian Riviera. Santa Margherita and Portofino offer their particular charm, cobbled and unhurried, before the clifftop villages of Cinque Terre appear along one of the Mediterranean's most dramatic stretches of coast. Florence follows, its Renaissance galleries and terracotta skyline demanding more than a single day, and Rome delivers the ancient city in full, from the Colosseum and the Vatican to the baroque theatre of the Trevi Fountain. Venice brings the journey north again, a city of canals and bridges navigated best on foot or by gondola, and Verona, often passed over for louder destinations, rewards the curious with its Roman amphitheatre, narrow medieval streets and the enduring pull of Shakespeare's most famous setting. The final leg returns to Milan for onward departure.
