"A Ferrari through the roads that shaped it — Maranello, the Futa Pass, the Strade Bianche, and the Amalfi corniche where the car and the landscape arrive at the same conclusion."
The Journey

Ferrari,
Italy at Full Throttle

The Ferrari grand touring experience is not a track day. It is the argument that the car makes most convincingly when used for its intended purpose: a sustained drive across the Italian landscape whose roads, gradients, and corners shaped the engineering decisions that every Ferrari since the 250 GT has reflected. The Futa Pass between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany; the Strade Bianche gravel roads of the Sienese hills; the Garganega valley descents of the Veneto; and the Amalfi coast road above the Tyrrhenian Sea — these are the routes whose character the Ferrari's chassis was tuned to express, in the country where the car was designed and where the relationship between road and vehicle is most directly legible.

The Ferrari Grand Touring itinerary begins in Milan — the design capital whose automotive culture gave the coachbuilders of Pininfarina, Bertone, and Zagato the aesthetic vocabulary that the Ferrari body has drawn on since the first road car left Maranello in 1947. The private visit to the Ferrari Museum and the Maranello headquarters provides the historical and engineering context that makes the subsequent driving experience comprehensible as a continuation of the tradition rather than a luxury novelty. The drive itself follows the north-to-south axis of the Italian peninsula — Milan to Modena, Modena to Tuscany, Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast — covering the landscape whose variety makes Italy the single country whose driving routes produce the most complete range of automotive experience available anywhere on the continent.

This eight-day itinerary stays at Casa Maria Luigia in Modena (Massimo Bottura's country residence, the most considered single hospitality experience in Emilia-Romagna); the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in the Montalcino hills (a restored medieval borgo whose Brunello di Montalcino vineyard and Tom Fazio golf course provide the non-driving programme of the Tuscan days); and Le Sirenuse in Positano (the 1951 hotel on the cliff above the harbour whose terrace view of the Amalfi Coast from the sea is the most recognised luxury hotel image in southern Italy).

Signature Moments

Six Encounters
with Italy

The Futa Pass at dawn, the Strade Bianche through Montalcino, the Maranello museum, and the Amalfi corniche where the journey ends above the sea.

01
Maranello — The Museum and the Factory Behind the Car
The Ferrari Museum in Maranello — the permanent collection of racing cars, road cars, and engineering milestones that traces Ferrari's history from the 125 S of 1947 through the championship-winning Formula 1 cars to the current road car programme. The Maranello headquarters: the factory complex where the road cars are assembled by hand in the production building adjacent to the Fiorano test circuit where every Ferrari completes its final quality check before delivery. The private visit that the standard museum programme does not include — the production floor, the engine assembly, and the specific context that makes the driving experience that follows comprehensible as the continuation of a 75-year engineering tradition.
02
The Futa Pass — The Apennine Road That Ferrari Used for Development
The Passo della Futa — the 903-metre Apennine mountain pass on the SS65 between Bologna and Florence, used by Enzo Ferrari as an informal development road whose combination of gradient changes, decreasing-radius corners, and road surface variation made it the most useful single test route available to the factory before the Fiorano circuit was completed in 1972. The same road, in a current Ferrari, makes the engineering argument most directly: the suspension response that the pass's surface demands and the braking points that the gradient's variance requires are the specific conditions the chassis was designed to handle.
03
Strade Bianche — The White Gravel Roads of the Sienese Hills
The Strade Bianche of the Crete Senesi — the unpaved white gravel roads of the Siena clay hills that the professional cycling race of the same name uses as its defining terrain, and that the Ferrari's chassis negotiates with the particular combination of traction control modulation and steering weight that makes the gravel surface the most instructive driving environment available to the touring driver. The Val d'Orcia landscape — the UNESCO World Heritage hillscape of Pienza, Montalcino, and the cypress-lined roads whose image defines Tuscany in international visual culture — experienced from the driver's seat at the pace the road naturally imposes.
04
Amalfi Coast Road — The SS163 Above the Tyrrhenian Sea
The SS163 Amalfitana between Positano and Ravello — the 40-kilometre coastal road carved into the cliff face 200 metres above the Tyrrhenian Sea, whose hairpin bends, tunnel sections, and the specific challenge of managing a wide-track Ferrari through the villages of Praiano and Conca dei Marini produce the most technically demanding single day of the itinerary. The road that every driving journalist eventually uses as the reference experience for what an Italian grand tourer is designed to do: the combination of performance, landscape, and mechanical engagement that no other coastal road in Europe produces at this consistency.
05
Casa Maria Luigia — Massimo Bottura's Country Residence
Casa Maria Luigia in the Modena countryside — the country residence of Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore, the chef behind Osteria Francescana (three Michelin stars, ranked at the top of the World's 50 Best Restaurants list), offered as a guest house whose twelve rooms are filled with Bottura's personal art collection and whose kitchen produces the most considered breakfast and dinner available in Emilia-Romagna outside the Osteria itself. The property that provides the context for Maranello — the tradition of Italian craft excellence that applies equally to the Ferrari production line and to the tortellini in brodo that Bottura's kitchen has been refining since 1995.
06
Le Sirenuse — The Cliff Hotel Above Positano Harbour
Le Sirenuse in Positano — the 1951 hotel that the Marchesi Sersale family opened in their summer villa on the cliff face above the harbour, and which has maintained its position as the most requested single address on the Amalfi Coast for 70 years without material change to the formula: the same family ownership, the same terrace view across the sea to the Faraglioni, and the same quality of care that the Italian hospitality tradition produces at its most personal. The Champagne Bar at sunset; the La Sponda restaurant; and the understanding that the Amalfi Coast road, driven in the morning, is best concluded from a terrace above the sea in the afternoon.
Key Highlights

What Makes This Journey

01 🏎️
Multi-Day Ferrari Driving — Milan to the Amalfi Coast
A Ferrari across seven days of Italian driving — the Futa Pass through the Apennines; the Strade Bianche of the Crete Senesi; the Val d'Orcia hillscape; and the SS163 Amalfitana above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Routes curated for the combination of road character, landscape quality, and driving engagement that makes each day's programme distinct. A support vehicle and route briefing provided daily; the car selection confirmed based on the client's preference and the itinerary's road profile.
02 🏭
Maranello — Private Museum and Factory Access
Private visit to the Ferrari Museum and Maranello headquarters — the production floor where the road cars are assembled by hand, the engine assembly building, and the Fiorano test circuit where every car completes its final quality check before delivery. The historical and engineering context for the driving experience that follows: the 75-year tradition whose specific decisions are legible in the car's behaviour on the roads the itinerary covers.
03 🏰
Three Defining Italian Addresses — Modena, Tuscany, Positano
Casa Maria Luigia in the Modena countryside (Massimo Bottura's guest house); the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in the Montalcino hills (a restored medieval borgo with the Brunello di Montalcino vineyard); and Le Sirenuse in Positano (the 1951 cliff hotel above the Amalfi harbour). Three addresses whose individual quality makes the non-driving programme of each destination as compelling as the roads that connect them.

Day 1
Milan Arrival — Bvlgari Hotel · Brera · Ferrari Collection Preview
Arrive at Linate with private transfer to the Bvlgari Hotel Milano. Afternoon: the Brera district and the Pinacoteca di Brera for the collection that places the Ferrari's design tradition in the context of the northern Italian aesthetic sensibility — the Mantegna Dead Christ's foreshortening, the Raphael Marriage's compositional precision, and the Hayez Romantic paintings whose emotional directness anticipates the Ferrari's own relationship with its audience. The Ferrari delivered to the hotel for the morning; a brief familiarisation drive in the city's early evening traffic. Dinner at Il Ristorante Niko Romito.
Bvlgari Hotel Milano
Day 2
Milan to Maranello — Ferrari Museum · Factory · Modena
Drive from Milan to Maranello (220 kilometres, 2.5 hours via the A1 autostrada, arriving mid-morning). Private visit to the Ferrari Museum: the 125 S (Ferrari's first car, 1947); the 250 GTO (the 1962 road-racing car whose auction record of $48.4 million makes it the most valuable car ever sold); the championship-winning Formula 1 cars; and the current road car collection. The production building visit: the hand-assembly process for the Roma, the 296 GTB, and the SF90 Stradale. Drive to Maranello for lunch at Cavallino — the restaurant opposite the factory gates where Enzo Ferrari hosted guests for 40 years. Continue to Casa Maria Luigia for the evening.
Casa Maria Luigia, Modena
Day 3
Modena to Tuscany — Futa Pass · Apennine Crossing
The day's drive: Modena south through the Apennines to Tuscany via the Passo della Futa (903 metres, the SS65). The Futa Pass — 45 kilometres of mountain road whose combination of gradient changes, decreasing-radius corners, and road surface variation produced the most useful informal test route available to the Maranello engineers before Fiorano was completed. The descent into Tuscany: the first view of the Arno valley, the terracotta roofscape of Florence visible to the left, and the road narrowing through the Chianti wine villages toward Siena. Arrive at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in the Montalcino hills for the evening.
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, Montalcino
Day 4
Tuscany — Strade Bianche · Val d'Orcia · Brunello Tasting
A full day in Tuscany — the morning on the Strade Bianche gravel roads of the Crete Senesi south of Siena, whose pale clay landscape and unpaved roads produce the most distinctive driving environment on the itinerary. The Val d'Orcia UNESCO World Heritage landscape: Pienza (the ideal Renaissance city designed by Pope Pius II, 1459), Montepulciano (the hilltop town whose Vino Nobile was the first Italian wine to receive DOC classification), and the Montalcino hilltop for the view across the Orcia valley. The private Brunello di Montalcino tasting at the Castiglion del Bosco estate vineyard — the wine whose production regulations (five years minimum ageing, 100% Sangiovese Grosso) make it the most demanding single denomination in Italy.
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, Montalcino
Day 5
Tuscany to Amalfi — Rome Tangential · Cassino · Campanian Coast
The longest driving day: Montalcino south through the Maremma coast road (SS1 Via Aurelia), the Rome tangential, and the A1 autostrada south to Campania. The approach to the Amalfi Peninsula from Salerno — the first glimpse of the Tyrrhenian Sea as the road descends from the Lattari mountains, and then the SS163 Amalfitana from Salerno to Positano: the first 20 kilometres of the coast road as a preview of tomorrow's full programme. Arrive at Le Sirenuse in Positano for the evening — the Champagne Bar's terrace at sunset, the harbour below, and the Faraglioni of Capri visible to the south.
Le Sirenuse, Positano
Day 6
Amalfi Coast Drive — SS163 · Ravello · Emerald Grotto
The Amalfi Coast driving day — the SS163 Amalfitana from Positano east through Praiano, Conca dei Marini, Amalfi, Atrani, and Minori to Ravello: 40 kilometres of cliff-face road whose hairpin bends, tunnel sections, and the management of a wide-track Ferrari through the coastal villages produce the most technically demanding single day of the itinerary. Ravello at the top of the cliff: Villa Cimbrone's Garden of Infinity whose terrace view of the coast from 350 metres above sea level is the highest single viewpoint available on the drive. Afternoon: the private boat from Amalfi harbour to the Grotta dello Smeraldo and the return along the coast at water level — the road seen from below. Farewell dinner at La Sponda.
Le Sirenuse, Positano
Day 7
Leisure — Private Boat · Capri · Positano at Pace
A day without driving — the private boat from Positano harbour to Capri: the Faraglioni from the water, the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto) whose cerulean light effect requires a rowing boat and low tide to access, and the Capri town funicular to the Piazzetta whose afternoon café culture has been the most reliably pleasant hour in the Bay of Naples since the Grand Tour established it as the necessary conclusion to the Italian journey in the 18th century. Return to Positano by boat for the final evening — the harbour from the water, the Sirenuse terrace, and the specific quality of the Amalfi Coast in the hour before the light changes that no road perspective provides.
Le Sirenuse, Positano
Day 8
Departure — Naples International Airport
Final morning at Le Sirenuse — the terrace breakfast with the harbour view, the last espresso at the Champagne Bar, and the private transfer to Naples Capodichino Airport (1 hour from Positano) for onward connections. The Ferrari returned to the Richseen support team at the hotel; the itinerary's documentation — the route maps, the Maranello visit photography, the wine acquisition records from Montalcino — prepared by Richseen's concierge for the journey home.

Luxury Stays

Where You Rest Matters

Modena Countryside, Emilia-Romagna
Modena — 1 Night
Casa Maria Luigia
Via Roncaglia 12, Modena, Emilia-Romagna
Casa Maria Luigia — the country guest house of Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore, offered as twelve rooms filled with the couple's personal art collection (Ed Ruscha, Damien Hirst, Gavin Turk) and managed with the same philosophy of Italian craft excellence that Osteria Francescana applies to its cuisine. The kitchen produces the most considered breakfast in Emilia-Romagna; the dinner programme draws on Bottura's collaboration with the region's finest producers. The address that provides the cultural context for Maranello — Ferrari and Bottura are both expressions of the same Modenese tradition of making difficult things beautifully.
Montalcino, Val d'Orcia, Tuscany
Tuscany — 2 Nights
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco
Castiglion del Bosco, Montalcino, Siena
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco — the restored 12th-century medieval borgo in the Montalcino hills, whose 4,200-acre estate includes the Brunello di Montalcino vineyard, a Tom Fazio golf course, a spa, and the fresco-decorated chapel whose restoration was the first project of the estate's conversion. The borgo's architecture — the stone buildings, the piazza, the wells — is intact from the medieval period; the interior design brings the Rosewood standard into the historic fabric without disrupting it. The most complete expression of the Tuscan luxury estate concept, positioned for the Val d'Orcia driving and the Brunello tasting that constitute the itinerary's Tuscany programme.
Positano, Amalfi Coast, Campania
Amalfi Coast — 3 Nights
Le Sirenuse
Via Cristoforo Colombo 30, Positano, Salerno
Le Sirenuse — the 1951 hotel that the Marchesi Sersale family opened in their summer villa on the cliff above Positano harbour. Seventy years of the same family ownership; the same terrace view across the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Faraglioni of Capri; and the La Sponda restaurant whose candlelit terrace is the most recognised dining image on the Amalfi Coast. The Champagne Bar at sunset; the private boat service to the sea caves and Capri; and the specific quality of the Italian family hotel whose continuity of ownership produces the most personally managed experience available at this level of luxury. The address that makes arriving from the Amalfi Coast road feel like the correct conclusion to the journey.

Moments Designed for You

🏎️
Ferrari Driving
Seven Days — Futa, Strade Bianche, and the Amalfitana
A Ferrari across seven driving days — the Futa Pass through the Apennines; the Strade Bianche gravel roads of the Crete Senesi; the Val d'Orcia hillscape; the Maremma coast; and the SS163 Amalfitana above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Each day's route is briefed by the Richseen support team against the day's road profile and the client's driving confidence; the support vehicle manages logistics, photography, and the mechanical contingencies that any extended driving programme requires. The car selection confirmed based on the client's preference and the itinerary's road profile.
🏭
Maranello
Private Factory Visit — The Assembly Line and the Museum
Private access to the Ferrari Museum and the Maranello production building — the hand-assembly process for the current road car models, the engine building facility, and the Fiorano test circuit adjacent to the factory. The museum's permanent collection from the 125 S (1947) through the championship Formula 1 cars to the current programme. The specific context that makes the driving experience that follows legible as a continuation of a 75-year engineering tradition rather than a luxury rental — the factory visit is the argument, the road is the proof.
🍷
Brunello
Castiglion del Bosco Estate Tasting — Montalcino at Source
Private Brunello di Montalcino tasting at the Castiglion del Bosco estate vineyard — the wine whose production regulations (five years minimum ageing including two in oak, 100% Sangiovese Grosso from the Montalcino DOCG) make it the most demanding single denomination in Italy to produce at consistent quality. The tasting conducted in the estate's cantina, with the vintages whose ageing has made the wine most legible against the Tuscan landscape visible through the vineyard above. The Brunello tasted at the source where the altitude, the galestro soil, and the south-east exposure that distinguish the estate's terroir are all directly visible.
⛵
Amalfi Coast
Private Boat — The Coast Seen from the Water
A private boat from Positano harbour — the Amalfi Coast road seen from the water, at the angle and distance that makes the engineering achievement of the SS163 comprehensible as a single composition. The Grotta dello Smeraldo and the Grotta Azzurra; the Li Galli islands (the Sirenuse of Greek mythology, where Odysseus's sailors were enchanted); and the Capri circumnavigation whose Faraglioni sea stacks at water level provide the most immediately dramatic single marine landscape in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The boat day that makes the coast fully legible as a place rather than a road.
