Italy’s best long trips alternate big cities with smaller bases. The mistake is trying to pack every region in one sprint; premium cabin comfort cannot fix an impossible schedule.
10 days: classic triangle
Rome (3 nights) → Florence (3) → Venice (2) with a dedicated travel day between each. Add a ninth night only if you commit to one side trip — Tuscan hills or Cinque Terre — not both.
Two to three weeks: add the south or lakes
Two weeks allows the north–south diagonal: Milan or lakes entry, Florence, Rome, then Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Three weeks adds Sardinia, Puglia depth, or Sicily without daily hotel moves.
Open-jaw flights — into Milan or Rome and out of Naples — frequently reduce costly backtracking; ask your agent to price those constructs alongside simple round-trips.
