Outstanding destination hotels are one of the pleasures of traveling with our club! We carefully select comfortable, welcoming 4-star hotels that complement the places we visit: a lively Sorrento location near its cafés and piazzas, a relaxing base for exploring the treasures of Rome, and a lovely Tuscan spa-town hotel where we can truly settle in. These are places to enjoy, not simply somewhere to sleep. From leisurely breakfasts and inviting lounges to a drink together after sightseeing, our hotels add another dimension to the Italian experience.
Best of all, we stay 4 nights in Sorrento, 3 in Rome and 6 in Tuscany—giving us time to unpack, get comfortable, discover each neighborhood and enjoy the hotel atmosphere between our included excursions. All three featured hotels also offer swimming pools, a welcome extra amenity.
October 10–14, 2027 • 4-Star Hotel
What a wonderful place to begin our Italian adventure! The Grand Hotel Cesare Augusto combines the warm, easygoing atmosphere of Sorrento with the comfort and conveniences of a classic 4-star hotel. Just a short stroll from Piazza Tasso, the town's bustling central square, it puts inviting cafés, restaurants, shops and Sorrento's picturesque streets within easy reach. Its comfortable rooms, garden, restaurant and welcoming spaces make it a delightful home base for four nights on the Bay of Naples.
After unforgettable outings to Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, you can return to the hotel, relax over a drink or head back into town for an evening passeggiata. The rooftop terrace, panoramic views and seasonal swimming pool are lovely additional touches. This is the joy of staying several nights in Sorrento: enjoying the destination long after our sightseeing day has ended.
October 14–17, 2027 • 4-Star Hotel
Our Roman adventure deserves a comfortable retreat! Precise House Mantegna Roma offers a stylish, contemporary setting for our three nights in the Eternal City.

With our organized sightseeing and group transportation, we can enjoy the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican City and Rome's famous fountains and squares without worrying about navigating our principal tour days. Back at the hotel, its relaxed atmosphere and amenities—including fitness facilities and an indoor swimming pool—make an appealing contrast to the city's lively streets. It is a welcoming place to gather, recount the day's discoveries and look forward to what's next.
October 17–23, 2027 • 4-Star Superior Hotel
Six nights in Tuscany—time to truly enjoy the Italian way of life! Our stay at Grand Hotel Croce di Malta, a 4-star superior hotel in Montecatini Terme, is a highlight of the trip in its own right.

It's a wonderful base for our adventures to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena and Cinque Terre, but just as appealing on days when you prefer a slower pace.

With six nights here, there is time to make Montecatini feel like our own little corner of Tuscany—and to enjoy the friendships and camaraderie that make our club tours special.
