Embark on the ultimate European journey through Italy and France

From Italian romance to French sophistication

Seamlessly blend two of Europe’s most alluring countries into a single, unforgettable journey. A luxury trip to Italy and France offers you a sophisticated exploration of diverse cultures, gastronomic excellence, high-fashion and rustic charm. Discover the best of Parisian art and history and spend a few days on the sunny French Riviera, before wandering ancient ruins in Rome, slipping along canals in romantic Venice and exploring the dramatic Amalfi Coast.

As you cross Italy you’ll dip in and out of regions, taking a moment to familiarise yourself with the unique identity of each, meeting locals, enjoying meals created using the freshest regional produce and traveling back through the country’s history through art and stories. Not only does Rome invite you to discover ancient landmarks, but it’s also a place to savour and explore quintessential Italian flavours through cooking classes and dining experiences. Spot stone farmhouses dotting the rolling hills of Tuscany, admire the Renaissance flair of Florence  and stroll along the shores of the glittering Lake Como. 

Consider journeying from Italy to France onboard Orient Express La Dolce Vita. You’ll weave through some of Italy’s most incredible landscapes on your way to Paris. Imagine traveling in luxury through breathtaking scenery, from the mist-draped Dolomites to the sun-drenched countryside of Tuscany.

Much of France’s allure lies in its diversity – from the chic style of Paris to the fragrant fields of Provence and the trendy shores of Saint-Tropez. When it comes to cuisine, you’ll discover some of the world’s finest restaurants and get to experience the latest gastronomic trends while in the cities, and then head out into the countryside to immerse yourself in the finest produce, sipping award-winning wines and sampling cheeses. The country is awash with art and culture, from live music, to galleries and street installations, your adventure will be a truly memorable one.

Luxury Accommodation in Italy and France

There are many incredible places to stay in Italy and France. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Lake Como

Grand Hotel Tremezzo
Lake Como is all about style and elegance, and the iconic Grand Hotel Tremezzo with its impressive art nouveau façade, fits the brief perfectly. Sat on the western shores of the lake, the hotel looks out across the water to the pretty town of Bellagio and the dramatic Grigne mountains. Not to be outshone by its famous neighbour, Villa Carlotta, the hotel sits within beautifully landscaped gardens filled with rare and ancient magnolias, palm trees and flowers that explode in clouds of red, purple, pink and blue. Rooms come with large windows that look out over lake or gardens, and the views from the rooftop suites are hard to beat. It’s not just the scenery that’ll catch your eye, however, and there’s plenty to admire inside as well. The lounge is filled with brightly coloured furniture and features ornate silk hangings on the wall, while the billiards room is home to an original table from the 1800s. Guests can dine on seasonal Mediterranean cuisine in the restaurant where in the warmer months, food is served on the terrace. The trattoria and wine bar is perfect for more casual dining, offering the relaxed atmosphere of an ancient wine cellar with a touch of modern elegance. Relaxing here is easy; the hotel has a secluded outdoor pool in the gardens and its own man-made beach, located just in front of the water-on-water floating pool on the lake. The indoor infinity pool and spa look out over the water and offer luxurious Santa Maria Novella products and treatments. The hotel also has its own water limos for when you want to explore and discover the lake.

Champagne

Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa
Overlooking the vineyards that flow across the hills of the Champagne, you’ll find the Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa. This award winning property is the epitome of style and luxury offering guests stunning rural views, fantastic food and wine, excellent service, unparalleled comfort and exciting activities. Although nestled in the charming French countryside and feeling like an oasis of calm and beauty, the Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa is surprisingly well connected. From Paris you can expect to reach the hotel in under two hours by car or take a convenient helicopter flight into the hotel’s own, exclusive helipad. Royal Champagne Hotel has 47 luxurious rooms over 6 room categories, all with beautiful vistas out over the rolling hills of Champagne. The rooms are designed and decorated using natural materials and neutral tones creating a sense of understated elegance and tranquility. As you would expect, dining at the hotel is a delicious experience with two gourmet restaurants, a bar and terrace (where tasty light meals are served). We recommend the intimate Chef’s table where just a handful of guests, within a small dining room situated in the heart of the stainless steel kitchens, get to try innovative, fresh dishes from Champagne. As the name suggests the spa here is a huge highlight and there are many options to explore if you’re looking to relax and retreat during your stay. Hand selected therapists are ready to pamper, replenish, indulge and restore within nine treatment cabins, two swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), steam room, sauna, Jacuzzis, yoga studio, fitness room, beauty bar.
