Go Full Throttle in Florence, Italy

Make the most of your Italy experience with an adrenaline-pumping, three-day “Italy Full Throttle” self-drive Ferrari tour that begins at Il Salviatino, a hand-restored 15th century villa in the rolling hills of Tuscany, overlooking the pulsing city of Florence. Guests can explore the property’s private gardens and indulge in an authentic Tuscan-style dinner at La Cucina del Salviatino before preparing to set off in style the next morning. Day two begins with an expert sport car driver introducing guests to the world of Ferrari, preparing them for the drive of a lifetime through the Tuscan countryside and into the Veneto region. The experience kicks off with a full Ferrari briefing and three models to choose from, and take off through the Tuscan countryside and into the Veneto region with views of medieval villages and the beautiful natural landscape of Italy. After stopping for a traditional balsamic vinegar tasting in Villa San Donnino and a visit to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, wander through the historic 14th-century Palazzo Victoria and admire the original artwork, stonework, preserved relics and ancient Medieval and Roman remains that are integrated into the 5-star property’s design before embarking on a gastronomic journey at the in-house restaurant, Borsari 36.
