FAQs about the Orient Express La Dolce Vita Rome to Montalcino Journey
Wine is a major part of the appeal, but the journey is not only for serious wine enthusiasts. It suits travellers who enjoy Italian scenery, refined dining, relaxed luxury and the idea of experiencing Tuscany in a slower, more atmospheric way.
Montalcino is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated wine areas, known for its rolling landscapes, vineyard culture and historic hill-town atmosphere. It gives the journey a strong sense of place without needing a long multi-night itinerary.
Yes, because the itinerary is deliberately focused. You have time to enjoy lunch, the Tuscan countryside, the Montalcino stop, dinner, entertainment and breakfast on board before returning to Rome.
In many ways, yes. Instead of travelling between wineries by road, the train creates a more elegant and seamless way to experience the region, with the journey, dining and onboard atmosphere forming part of the experience.
For many guests, yes. A curated off-train experience can make the stop feel more meaningful, especially if you want to explore local wine, food, history or landscape rather than simply enjoying the views from the train.
Absolutely. The combination of Tuscany, fine wine, elegant dining and one night aboard Orient Express La Dolce Vita makes it a natural choice for birthdays, anniversaries or a memorable addition to a wider Italy holiday.
Yes. Many guests choose to add hotel nights in Rome before or after the train, or extend the trip into Tuscany, Florence or the Italian countryside for a more complete itinerary.
The day trip is more focused on the Michelin-starred culinary experience, while the Rome to Montalcino route adds an overnight stay on board and a stronger wine-region focus. It feels slower, more immersive and better suited to guests wanting more time with the train.
Sasha, our agent, compiled a wonderful and exceptionally well thought out trip to Paris to catch the Venice Simplon Orient Express to Istanbul and a short stay in Istanbul afterwards. Everything was perfect; from the proposed hotels in Paris and Istanbul, to the transfers between airports and hotels. Sasha listened to everything we wanted to experience and delivered above our expectations, with exemplary and timely communications. Altogether, we thoroughly recommend Mulberry Travel.

just wanted to say thank you for all your help booking the Grand National trip aboard the British Pullman.
We all had a wonderful day and everything was organised so well. They arranged reserved seating on the coach transfers for us and my wife managed the whole day despite her cancer, such was the care taken.

Dear Lee and all the Mulberry Travel Team,
We just wanted to thank you for organising such a wonderful trip to the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish.
The Hotel Mayfair was absolutely perfect for us, comfortable, elegant, and ideally located. The drivers throughout the weekend and for our airport transfers were excellent, especially Riswan, who drove us to and from the races. He was not only professional but also a wonderful guide, sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge of Paris and France, which really added to the experience.
Attending the Arc itself was something we had wanted to do for many years, and we’re so glad to have finally experienced it.
Thank you again to you and your team for arranging everything so beautifully. You took all the stress out of the trip for us and we are very grateful. It truly was a memorable weekend.
Warm regards,
Maggie, Richard & Eleanor

Sasha and her colleagues did a fantastic job helping organising our honeymoon, arranging everything; sorting the flights and transfers and picking the hotels for the two centre trip to Verona and Lake Garda that we wanted. Everything went smoothly from the flights, the transfers from Verona airport to the hotel in Verona, between Verona and Sirmione and the return to the airport, the hotels and the Opera (which was a highlight).

We have just returned from seeing Andrea Bocelli in Italy. The whole trip was organised by Mulberry Travel. I cant recommend them highly enough. They organised everything from flights to transfers to accommodation and also tickets for the concert. Everything ran seamlessly. The Hotel L'Orologia in Florence was one if their recommendations. It was beautiful and centrally situated on a lovely piazza. Transfers to and from the airport and the concert ran like clockwork.
I will certainly be booking with Mulberry Travel again for any trips. It took the worry out of organising myself which I would normally do.

We booked the British Pullman for my wife’s birthday and Mollie Ellis your Consultant could not have done more for us. She answered any questions that I had and kept in touch from the initial booking through to our day out to Bath.
We had a fantastic day and I will certainly book through Mollie and Mulberry travel in the future.

We contacted Mulberry Travel to enquire about a 2025 Monaco F1 package as we could find nothing that suited us in Australia.
Sasha was incredible and put together a wonderful package for us. The whole booking process was so easy and we were kept informed every step of the way.
Our trip leaves us with fantastic memories.
Thankyou Sasha and Mulberry Travel.
We certainly recommend this company to anyone in UK or Australia

I recently booked a cruise to include tickets to Monaco Grand Prix for a special birthday surprise. Sasha contacted me via email so as not to spoil the surprise. This attention to detail continued along with timely correspondance throughout the whole planning period. The cruise was a great success but the hotel recommendations and even private hire transfers from airport, hotel and cruise port were all part of the very professional service and nothing was too much trouble. I would happily recommend Mulberry Travel to friends and family and will definitely use their services again. Thank you.
