Rome
Rome is a no-brainer of an ultimate city break destination in Italy.

The jaw-dropping scale of the architectural gems and ancient ruins of the city truly have to be seen with one's own eyes and experienced in person in order to be understood and the unbelievable wealth of things to see and do in the city means you could plan a trip every day for the rest of your life and still find more astounding attractions to visit. A beloved tourist destination for hundreds of years, there are endless very good reasons as to why it continues to draw generation after generation of new visitors and fans.

Florence
A villa with pool in Florence is also an excellent idea for a city break as, though somewhat smaller in scale than the gargantuan Rome, it is a similarly extraordinary centre of history and culture and much more besides. The birthplace of the Renaissance and a city that gathered some of the world's greatest ever artists (such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and more), in one place to create outstanding masterpieces, it remains one of the best places in the world to see art to this day. From the famous works that fill beloved galleries such as the Uffizi and the Bargello, to irreverent works of street art by the likes of CLET that can be encountered by surprise on street corners, to museums dedicated to sartorial works of art by beloved brands such as Gucci and Ferragamo, to centuries-old pharmacies still selling beauty products favoured by queens, history and the tradition of art and design are still alive and kicking in Florence.
Of course, there are many other cities in beautiful that could be included on this list so be sure to read on to the next post in this series for some more of our picks...
