ITALY ULTIMATE EXTRAVAGANCE

THE QUINTESSENTIAL TOUR - ITALY

The Car
Since this is Italy, the natural choice is the
quintessential national motor, the Ferrari,
though other super cars, such as a Maserati
or Lamborghini, are also available.

The Route
Each day starts and finishes in Bologna.
Days are spent touring the region, including
visits to Lamborghini, and the famous
Fiorano test track in Maranello. Cars have
satellite navigation and there's a guide
on hand for more info on other
things to see and do on the trip.

 
 

The Vibe
Northern Italy with a deluxe spin. You'll be driving one of the finest cars in the
world and exploring the food and culture of the beautiful region of
Emilia-Romagna, one of the country's most opulent and least-known areas.

The Pit Stop
The tour base is the opulent Grand Hotel Baglioni (www.baglionihotel.com),
a converted historic palazzo in the centre of Bologna. Its excellent restaurant
with beautiful frescoed ceilings is one of the best in the city.

The Menu
Bologna is justifiably famous for its excellent cuisine, hence its nickname,
La Grassaí (the fat). Parma, home to the world-famous ham, is in the
region and there's a visit to balsamic vinegar producer, Acetaia Malpighi,
in nearby Modena. Lunch is a racing drivers' favourite lunchtime hangouts,
while in the evenings and gourmet dinners at the hotel.

The Bill
Based on two persons sharing a room and a car, including 5 nights
accommodation, half board (breakfast and dinner are included), airport
transfers. Porterage and valet costs included. Satellite navigation included.
Drivers must be over 30 years of age.
