Review: Luxury Italy Vacation, Rome, Florence, Milan, Cinque Terre, Sistine Chapel, Saint Peter's Basilica, Colosseum

Where to begin......

Rome was incredible we were drawn to the history of this wonderful city. Thanks to Michelangelo we marvelled at the sight of the Sistine Chapel and pondered on the beauty of the dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica. What an unforgettable experience walking through the Colosseum was hearing about all the gruelling events that took place in this iconic monument of Rome.

Florence was beautiful. Treasures were found around every corner. After a day of exploring this beautiful city we put on our chef’s apron and learnt how to make pizza and gelato just like the Italians do. We got to make our very own pizza we stretched it, sauced it, baked it, and sliced it, oh and of course we got to eat it as well.

From Florence we travelled to Cinque Terre  a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. The view of colourful houses and vineyards clinging to steep terraces, harbours  filled with fishing boats is a memory we will never forget, it was truly beautiful.

Milan, walking the streets of this city we were captivated by the atmosphere that this city had to offer. We discovered the charming and lively neighbourhood of the Navigli district. It was here that we experienced original Italian craft beers which were paired with amazing Italian food amongst the beautiful backdrop of canals and footbridges.
