Why we love it for you: A baroque mansion from the early 1500s, finely restored and a few steps from the Archaeological Museum; this is the ideal address for an authentic experience of Neapolitan life thanks to its position in the lively local market of Via Virgins and the surrounding architectural masterpieces such as the Spanish palace and the precious Ipogeo dei Cristallini archaeological site.
An 8th century BC colony of Magna Graecia sitting in the Bay of Naples, Ischia today is famed for its thermal spas, manicured gardens, striking Aragonese castle and humbled, straightforward Italian airs – a feature also reflected in its culinary offerings.

Why we love it for you: San Montano Resort & Spa on Ischia is a 5 star hotel overlooking the sea at the Bay of San Montano and the Gulf of Naples, surrounded by three hectares of parkland, at the heart of a wonderful Mediterranean garden. The hidden bays and coves, the rustic charm of the natural world, the thrill of witnessing the day dawn over Vesuvius, the mellow sound of the piano, all the while sipping on a cool drink, as you wait for the sun to set in a red blaze that lights the Pontine Islands in the distance. All this makes for a uniquely Ischia getaway.
Today, join a local family to learn about some of the recipes of Ischia that call the island home.
Each participant will join the preparation of the meal starting from the first course to the dessert. Some of the ingredients will be picked directly from the family’s garden.

During the cooking class, you will experience the aperitif, sourcing the wine directly from the barrel of the family cellar. Once ready, gather around the table to have lunch all together; just like a typical Italian Sunday.

On your trip down to Sorrento you will pass by one of the most remarkable and well preserved Roman cities that decorate Italy today. Make a stop and enjoy this one of a kind historical site together with an expert guide.
Pompeii was a thriving citadelle in the reigning years of the Roman empire. A center for commerce, trade, art and science. In a catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D it was buried under ash and pumice, thus preserving it to an impressive extend.

While most of Italy is about sightseeing, there’s nothing to visit per se on the Amalfi Coast. Instead of lavish churches and ancient monuments, the rugged coastline is the sight, best enjoyed from a hilltop al fresco restaurant, the bow of a yacht, or inside your car while navigating one of the world’s most scenic drives. Amalfi is a luxurious destination with a humble past, where glitzy villas still intermingle with sleepy fishing villages and bucolic lemon orchards.
Venture to the breathtaking Il Sentiero degli Dei, the "path of the Gods", for a hike to remember.
Make your way through paradise on the ancient path that used to connect a small village near Positano to Bomerano in Agerola just outside Naples. Named after the natural beauties of its views, the trail is considered one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world.
On the hike you will discover the remains of ancient farmhouses and meet local shepherds carrying wood with their mules, or milk to remote towns dotted around the hills and along the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Eye-catching, seductive, simply gorgeous. The Amalfi Coast is the quintessential Mediterranean landscape!
Enjoy the privilege of exploring it in full comfort traveling by private transportation during the afternoon. Relax and lose yourself in the views: here mountains dive into the sea creating a dramatic vertical scenset of dizzying cliffs crowned by verdant gardens, sweet-scented citrus fruit orchards and exquisite pastel-hued villages. Gaze at the exquisite landscape, tiny villages perched high above deep gorges, the deep blue sea rippled by gentle waves, luxuriant terraced cultivations dotted by typical buildings.
Walk leisurely down little picturesque streets lined with whitewashed houses, discover chic boutiques, catch a glimpse of a heavenly view, savor a tantalizing creamy gelato and admire mystifying cathedrals. Marvel at the turquoise seas and iconic piazzas, see fine hotels and attractive restaurants, enjoy liaising with the friendly locals and take the opportunity to shop for some charming Amalfi Coast souvenir.
A private driver will be at your disposal for the entire afternoon and you can make up your plan as you go!

Visiting Capri is like stepping into a pop art painting, thanks to splashes of color from the iridescent blue in underwater caverns, the juicy red and green of a Caprese salad, or the almost neon yellow of an after-dinner limoncello. Once the daytrippers head back to the mainland in the early evening, this teeming island becomes surprisingly intimate, just in time for a glowing Aperol spritz to sip on while watching the sun set over the horizon.
Charter your own private boat, a traditional “gozzo” fishing boat and spend the day enjoying the unmistakeable azzure of the amalfi! Stop for a swim stop at your leisure and disembark in Capri to explore, shop and walk the island!
