The Italian dream - From Naples to Amalfi
Discover the beautifully-lit and sweet-scented Mediterranean landscape with its beaches, dizzying, scenic roads, old churches, palaces, and terraces that have inspired poets and musicians, not to mention a cuisine of subtle aromas and generous textures.
Among the top highlights of your trip
A yacht cruise along the Amalfi coast. A coastline of wild coves, terraced villas with towering pine trees and fishing villages nestled at the bottom of small bays offers an incomparably beautiful view along the Mediterranean.Included in the itinerary for this day: a boat trip along the nature reserve of Ieranto Bay, the '3 Pizzi Bay' of Nerano, then around the Galli Islands, before reaching Positano, where a stop is scheduled to visit the famous village. On the cruise, you'll be able to go swimming and snorkelling, and indulge in picnics on board.
Your hot spots along the Amalfi coast
Accommodation in Sorrento
This guesthouse offers thirteen rooms offering an intimate and casual welcome near Sorrento, somewhat of a rare find on the Amalfi coast. One thing guests are sure to remember is the incredible view from each room, where the summit of Vesuvius merges with the azure horizon of the Mediterranean sea.Depending on the season, leave the car and instead reach Sorrento via the cliff-side walking trail which will take you to the waterfront taverns of Marina Grande in less than 15 minutes. At breakfast time (served in the kitchen), your hosts will recommend their favourite terraces, while serving you homemade lemon marmalade, an assortment of prosciutto and local cheeses or American pancakes if that's more to your fancy. Hidden away from the summer crowds of Sorrento, this is an exclusive hotel where you can take time to just enjoy life. The lovely pool is a bonus.
A bright & contemporary stay in Praiano
During the high season, it is wise to stay outside of Positano, a very popular tourist destination. Our choice of accommodation in Praiano is the ideal refuge from which to explore the region or to lounge around its beautiful panoramic teak swimming pool. This contemporary hotel has adapted to modern trends, with Pilates, a techno-gym space, high-tech room design, and minimalist decor.Throughout the hotel, large bay windows open onto blue sea as far as the eye can see. The spa is home to a lovely heated indoor pool.

Off the coast of Naples - Procida Island
Were you charmed by the scenes from Il Postino or from The Talented Mr. Ripley? Have you dreamt of an Italy of salty air, fresh sea urchins and long, passionate conversations while the trawlers roll in? Procida is a magical island that will capture you from the moment you arrive, giving you that authentic Mediterranean, Italian feel, with its preserved architecture, medieval alleyways and colourful fishing houses.
Riding through the island on a Vespa, it's easy to feel like you're in a film, exploring the beaches and getting a feel for the island's energy. There's no shortage of festivities on this island: the sea festival, the lemon festival, 'Open doors day' (private historic houses then open to the public to host artistic events), and more.
As far as food is concerned, the recipes are most often decided according to the catch of the day: perfect for tasting in one of the family-owned taverns or on a terrace with your feet in the water.
Optional - Day trip to Naples or Sorrento
A stroll around the historic centre of Naples
with a private guide. UNESCO has declared this labyrinth of intertwining streets, churches, convents, palaces and little squares a World Heritage Site. As you take your first steps, you'll see the wonderful contrasts of this place. Take in the cityscape of grand pediments alongside washing drying out the windows and locals busying themselves with daily chores. This is a place where nobility and the every day families have always lived side by side. Follow paths dating back to the Greco-Roman era, enter large churches decorated with angels, you can marvel at the constant calling and chattering which is so typical of Neapolitan daily life. In the narrow street of Spaccanapoli (which divides Naples) lies the great Gothic Basilica of Santa Chiara (14th century), built on ancient Roman baths and which houses the tombs of the kings of the Two Sicilies. In Via San Gregorio Armeno, visit the workshops where the famous Neapolitan nativity scenes are made.
