Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is an unbeatable luxury destination. It’s one of the most charming places on the Mediterranean coast. Explore picturesque towns like Amalfi and Ravello, stay in stunning boutique hotels and enjoy Europe’s best sunsets. Oh, and did we mention the food and drink?
You can also explore some of Italy’s finest attractions, such as Pompeii and Herculaneum. Day trips to Sorrento and Naples are easy to organize; if you’re feeling adventurous you can even take a trek up Mt Vesuvius (don’t worry, it won’t erupt). You can also take a more leisurely stroll from Amalfi to Ravello and visit the former home of Gore Vidal, the American writer who held court in these parts for many years. If you really want to experience luxury, we can organise and yacht charter and send you on a fabulous tour of the coast.
