Andrea Bocelli in Tuscany & The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

Arrive into Pisa where a private transfer will take you through Tuscany's rolling countryside to Castel Monastero. This beautifully restored medieval hamlet provides a peaceful base for the next three nights, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and timeless landscapes. Settle into your surroundings, enjoy the hotel's spa and pool facilities, and savour your first evening in the heart of rural Italy, perhaps with a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the countryside.

Today is dedicated to one of the world's most celebrated musical events. Spend a relaxed day enjoying the hotel or exploring nearby Tuscan villages before a pre-concert dinner near the venue. This evening, take your place in the Executive VIP section at Teatro del Silenzio for Andrea Bocelli's annual hometown performance. Hospitality access, premium views and return transfers ensure an unforgettable experience in one of Italy's most remarkable open-air settings.

Spend today enjoying Castel Monastero's exceptional facilities, including its panoramic pool, tranquil spa and beautiful countryside setting. A complimentary 50-minute body treatment adds to the sense of relaxation, while the surrounding region invites leisurely exploration. Discover nearby hilltop towns, sample local cuisine or simply unwind in the sunshine. Should adverse weather affect the concert schedule, today serves as the official reserve date for the performance.

An early morning transfer brings you to Florence Santa Maria Novella station for your journey to Venice. Watch as Italy's landscapes unfold outside your window before arriving in the Floating City. Your private water taxi then glides through Venice's famous canals to the elegant Metropole Venice. This afternoon, stroll atmospheric backstreets, discover hidden piazzas and admire the city's architectural treasures before enjoying a final evening in Italy.

Transfer to Venice Santa Lucia station and step aboard the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Settle into your beautifully restored carriage, where Art Deco elegance and attentive service evoke the golden age of rail travel. As the train journeys westwards through spectacular scenery, enjoy gourmet dining in exquisitely restored restaurant cars and spend the evening soaking up the unique atmosphere that makes this one of the world's most iconic rail journeys.

Wake to another memorable morning aboard the train and enjoy breakfast as the French countryside passes by. On arrival in Paris, a private transfer will take you to the refined Hotel Lancaster, just moments from the Champs-Élysées. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish, whether exploring world-famous landmarks, dining in acclaimed restaurants or simply reflecting on the remarkable experiences of the past week.
