(Re)Discover Italy with us on this deluxe Itinerary
~ No big group, deluxe hotels located truly
in the town and city centers, private boat throughout
Venice and small private vehicle along the Tuscan
Wine Road and Assisi.
Itinerary:
Day 1 | Onward to the Enchanted
Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast beckons our
arrival - Depart from Rome this morning either
by our private vehicle. The Amalfi Coast is
one of the most splendidly beautiful--and historically
significant--areas in Italy. The area is comprised
of the southern coast of the Sorrentine Peninsula,
south of Naples and part of the province of
Salerno. In the northern coast we find the town
of Sorrento, from which the Peninsula derives
its name, and along the southern coast one will
find the region's main towns of Positano, Ravello,
Atrani, and Amalfi. The island of Capri, located
nearby in the Bay of Naples, is also considered
part of the Amalfi Coast.
The rugged coastline, sunny brilliance, and
high mountain towns of the Amalfi Coast--as
well as its proximity to Naples and the major
archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum--have
made the area a favorite with tourists, artists,
and writers. Sorrento, Capri, and Positano have
flourished as a home base for wealthy expatriates,
particularly since the end of World War II.
The town of Amalfi itself was at one time an
important port in the region during the Middle
Ages, and much more populated than it is today.
Enjoy a relaxing day exploring the principal
destinations of the Amalfi Coast including Amalfi
and Positano. Fall under the spell of the enchanting
Amalfi coast where the most beautiful coastline
in world offers incredible views throughout
its course.
We base in the town of Sorrento which has been
a popular resort since Roman Times, perched
above the sea with its picturesque bays enjoy
distant views of the Isle of Capri, while admiring
the surrounding hills covered in vines. Stroll
around the narrow alleys of Positano which enjoys
an unsurpassed position along the Amalfi coast
where delightful white and pastel-colored houses
litter the hillside. Along with the beautiful
beaches, its ancient fishing port, the splendid
majolica dome of the church of Santa Maria Assunta
and artisan shops you'll enjoy a taste of the
“Dolce Vita”. In the town of Amalfi,
enjoyed a prestigious past when it once a major
naval power. Made of a labyrinth of narrow lanes
and alleyways that climbs the surrounding hills,
the town features typical Mediterranean style
architecture with houses piled one on top of
the other. Here you can sample the local Lemoncella
drink or perhaps visit the celebrated “Paradise
Cloister” built in Arabian style that
dates back to the thirteenth century.
