Indulgent Italy: Elevate Your Experience in Venice, Florence and Rome
By  Erica Firpo

Rome, Florence, Venice. For three centuries, these cities dominated the Italian Grand Tour for their incredible cultural heritage, gorgeous landscapes and unique personalities, as well as their unparalleled opulence.

Florence

Everybody loves Florence, a reality that’s quickly realized when facing the lines and crowds swarming most of its main attractions. Thus, the most exclusive experience you can have in this city is, arguably, time alone. Fine tailoring and fine-crafted accessories are a part of Florence’s DNA, which is why you’ll want Couturista to curate a full-immersion fashion experience where a local fashion expert guides you through the city on customized, private visits to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Florence’s artisan ateliers and most iconic shops, like heritage brand Santa Maria Novella. For some private downtime after dark, The St. Regis Florence will cater to you in La Cantinetta, its wine cellar, for a private evening.

Let’s Go: With departures at least three times an hour, every hour, from Firenze S.M. Novella station, Italo and Trenitalia high-speed trains slip you into Roma Termini station in 95 minutes flat.
