Limitless Italy, La Dolce Vita

This morning, a private jet lifts you to Rome, where Hotel de Russie provides a stylish sanctuary in the heart of the city. As evening falls, embark on a panoramic drive: the Colosseum, Pantheon and Trevi Fountain illuminated against the night sky. Seen without the daytime crowds, these landmarks feel even more striking. Returning to your hotel, enjoy a nightcap in the garden bar, already immersed in the city’s timeless atmosphere.

A morning of hands-on discovery awaits as you step into a Roman chef’s private apartment. Together you’ll prepare classic dishes, an intimate introduction to Italy’s culinary soul. The afternoon is yours to explore or simply relax, before a truly extraordinary evening: exclusive after-hours access to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. With no one else present, you can admire Michelangelo’s frescoes in rare and complete silence—a moment of profound privilege.

Your final full day in Rome is designed for personal exploration. Whether visiting little-known galleries with a private guide or enjoying the boutiques of Via Condotti, the day is personalized to your interests. As evening draws in, a farewell dinner can be arranged at one of the city’s acclaimed restaurants, a fitting finale to your Italian odyssey. Every detail is handled seamlessly, leaving you free to simply enjoy the experience.

As your journey concludes, a private helicopter whisks you from Rome towards your onward destination. It’s a farewell that captures the spirit of the trip itself: effortless, elevated, and deeply memorable. From Portofino to Como, the Amalfi Coast to Rome, this has been an exploration of Italy at its most iconic—experienced always with the intimacy, access and refinement that only Scott Dunn can provide.
