We offer a new travel concept, an innovative approach to the self-drive tour making absolute luxury and Gran Turismo converge to a perfect fusion. These are unique journeys, individually created for you to fully experience the Italian Way of Life. Each journey is a subtle blend of art, fashion, architecture, gastronomy and spectacular scenery. You will be part of a real Ferrari team, enjoying the possibility to personally drive the latest Ferraris. Traveling up to over 1,000 kilometers, you can accelerate through the steep, winding roads of Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany, along the route of the legendary Mille Miglia race, putting your driving skills to the ultimate test.
But once you got out of the car, you temporarily leave the Ferrari experience behind you and immerse yourself in a succession of very particular moments - with your entire privacy guaranteed. As a relaxing counterpart to the intensity of driving your Ferrari, all our journeys include wellness programs at the Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort, a world-class spa hotel located in the midst of the rolling hills of the Val d’Orcia. In the meantime, the accompanying staff will take care of the Ferraris without your even noticing it. The next morning, find your car at the entrance of the hotel, neat and clean, refilled and checked up, ready to start for some more exciting driving throughout further dazzling landscapes.
