Neville Passmore	Bella Italia Tour - June 2010	Naturally the classic cities of Rome and Florence feature in this itinerary but you will also be delighted with other surprise locations like unspoilt Tuscany, Lake Como and Cinque Terre. We explore the less touristy areas of Southern Tuscany discovering the rich Etruscan and Roman history. Evenings at our special family hotel (where the chefs were trained by a master with an Oscar for Tuscan food) will delight you and one evening we take over a local castle for pre-dinner drinks with our own private function on the embattlements. Classic Florence awaits where we explore for 3 nights before we move on to the world heritage listed villages of the Cinque Terre coast. Finally Lake Como presents as the jewel of the North with some special treats in store including a long lunch on a secret island in the lake and a visit to Villa Carlotta gardens.
