9 beautiful days in italy - here’s my itinerary

Italy has a way of capturing my heart every single time, but this trip was truly something special. William and I spent 10 days exploring, dining, and shopping our way through some of the most beautiful cities—and even though this was our third visit, it felt brand new in the best way. Each day was filled with unforgettable meals, stylish finds, and moments that made us fall even deeper in love with Italian culture.

I wanted to put together an itinerary to share exactly how we spent our time, not only to give you a glimpse into our adventure but also to help inspire or guide your own future travels. Whether you’re planning your very first trip to Italy or returning for another round like us, this outline will give you a mix of structure and flexibility to make the most of your days.

Below you’ll find a day-by-day breakdown of our 10-day journey—the restaurants we loved, the shops we couldn’t leave without visiting, and the little details that made the trip unforgettable. I hope it helps you dream, plan, and maybe even book that Italian getaway you’ve been thinking about!
