Summer 2024 marks the start of a customisable journey through a combination of nine regions and eight hotels
New for summer 2024, Rocco Forte Hotels are excited to announce an exclusive sports car experience spanning nine Italian regions and eight different hotels. “Italy at 100 MPH” promises a memorable journey through the Italian countryside via Ferrari, Lamborghini or Maserati, available to be taken as a couple, a family or a group of up to forty sports cars.
The route passes through the verdant vineyards of Tuscany, exploring roads that date back to the Roman Empire, carrying on to the Eternal City of Rome and finishing in the Mediterranean paradise of Sicily. The four-wheel-excursion is available to drive independently, with a driver or with an escort vehicle upon request.
From a one-day itinerary to an epic ten-day tour, “Italy at 100 MPH” offers various combinations of journeys by sports car, passing through Tuscany, Lazio, Umbria, Abruzzo, Campania, Calabria, Puglia, Basilicata and Sicily. After thrilling days on the road, guests can absorb the culture of each region whilst staying at a Rocco Forte Hotel. They will be hosted at Hotel Savoy in Florence; Hotel de Russie, Hotel de la Ville and Rocco Forte House in Rome; Masseria Torre Maizza in Puglia and Villa Igiea, Verdura Resort and Rocco Forte Private Villas in Sicily.
“Italy at 100 MPH” is a new and exciting way to experience Italy’s cultural, artistic and gastronomic heritage, allowing guests to create their own itinerary. Drivers can even star in their own movielike masterpiece, reminiscent of classic Italian cinema, with the option to employ a professional videographer and drone operator to document the journey.
