Dreaming of pasta, palazzos and postcard-perfect coastlines? Let this two-week Italy<\/a> itinerary\u2014curated by Kiwi Collection\u2019s own Federica Lorijn-Antonioli\u2014whisk you from fashion-forward Milan and the tranquil shores of Lake Garda to the Renaissance splendor of Florence and the ancient wonders of Rome, before winding down along the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast. Come for the culture, stay for the sunsets and leave with memories steeped in dolce vita<\/em>.<\/p>\n Where design meets decadence, Milan<\/a> is a stylish introduction to Italy. With its neoclassical grandeur, high-end shopping arcades and iconic art, the city is an elegant blend of old and new.<\/p>\n Casa Cipriani Milano<\/a> is New York elegance with a Milanese soul. Set within the iconic Palazzo Bernasconi at the corner of Corso Venezia and Via Palestro, this boutique hotel channels the charm of a private members\u2019 club. With just 15 rooms and suites designed by Florentine architect Michele Bonan<\/a>, renowned for his eye for detail and sartorial flair, you\u2019re mere steps from Milan\u2019s cultural pulse, yet blissfully cocooned in serenity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Just two hours east of Milan lies Lake Garda<\/a>, where rolling hills and glacial waters set the scene for lakeside lazing.<\/p>\n Tucked into a tranquil bay on Lake Garda\u2019s Verona side, Val di Sogno<\/a> is an adults-only escape that feels both intimate and indulgent. With just 35 design-forward rooms, a heated lakeside pool and al fresco dining surrounded by olive trees, this boutique gem offers serenity in every detail\u2014plus an intimate spa experience perfect for unplugging.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Drive three hours south to the birthplace of the Renaissance. Florence<\/a> is a feast for the eyes\u2014and the appetite.<\/p>\n Brunelleschi Hotel<\/a> blends history and luxury inside Florence\u2019s oldest building, the Torre della Pagliazza\u2014a restored medieval church and Byzantine tower. Steps from the Duomo and top gelaterias, it\u2019s an elegant retreat in the heart of the city. Don\u2019t miss dinner at the on-site Santa Elisabetta<\/a>, a two Michelin star gem tucked within the tower\u2019s ancient walls.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n All roads lead to Rome<\/a>\u2014and for good reason. Ancient ruins, vibrant piazza and trattorias tucked into cobblestone alleys make every moment cinematic.<\/p>\n Once a palace for ambassadors, now a Belle \u00c9poque beauty reborn, InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace<\/a> pairs timeless grandeur with modern luxury on glamorous Via Veneto. Sip rooftop cocktails with sweeping city views, then step out to explore nearby icons like the Spanish Steps. Inside, marble staircases and bespoke art recall the building\u2019s stately past.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Roughly three hours from Rome, it\u2019s best to arrive in Positano<\/a> by private transfer, letting someone else handle the hairpin turns of the Amalfi Coast as you descend into this cliffside village where pastel buildings tumble toward the sea and the air smells faintly of lemons and sea spray.<\/p>\n Perched above Positano with cinematic views, Villa Treville<\/a> is an Amalfi Coast escape steeped in old-world glamour. Once home to director Franco Zeffirelli, this cliffside estate now welcomes guests (including the likes of Madonna and Jennifer Lopez) to its lush gardens, breezy terrace and artfully restored villas. Dine al fresco at Maestro\u2019s<\/a>, plunge into the sea from a private beach and soak up the magic of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Just one hour away, end your journey in sun-drenched Sorrento<\/a>, a clifftop town that serves as a perfect base to explore the Bay of Naples and beyond.<\/p>\n Suspended above the Bay of Naples with views stretching to Mount Vesuvius, Mediterraneo Sorrento<\/a> is a clifftop sanctuary that fuses timeless charm with Mediterranean tones. Savor seafood and sunsets at Vista Sky Bar<\/a>, wander the citrus-scented gardens or unwind in breezy, blue-and-white rooms designed to echo the sea. It\u2019s the kind of place where every hour feels golden.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\nEXPLORE<\/h2>\n
