Your Italian Honeymoon: Ischia & Puglia
Nowhere in Italy mixes landscape, culture, and history quite like Southern Italy. In the span of a day, you can hike a spewing volcano, go for a swim in the crystalline sea, take photos of Baroque architecture, and gawk at ruins so old that they make the Colosseum look young.
Conclude your Honeymoon in Ischia for pure Italian elegance of the Amalfi Coast yet easy access to Naples. Your days will be filled with endless sunshine, crystal blue water and la dolce vita is experienced first-hand.

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.

In the morning, hop on your private boat and reach Capri, from here you will soon be marveling at the Blue Grotto bathed in the shimmering light of the sky refracted through the sea, as well as the less well-known Red Grotto, White Grotto, Green Grotto and the Grotta Meravigliosa.
Capri’s natural wonders will amaze you: the extraordinary Faraglioni rocks, the crags and cliffs rising to almost 600 metres, the soaring Arco Naturale and so much more.
The skipper will tell you little-known stories about the island and its people, and will point out its special places, such as Villa Fersen, Casa Malaparte, the ruins of the villas of the Emperor Tiberius and the fortini — ancient defensive coastal emplacements.
During the journey you’ll have several stops to swim and enjoy the most beautiful sea that you’ve ever seen.
After beautiful Capri, reach the Amalfi Coast, where you will have a wonderful lunch at Lo Scoglio.

Why we love it for you: Masseria Cervarolo is a farm with trulli (typical Apulian rural houses) built in the XVI century. It stands on a 250 meters hillock that dominates a large and fertile plain, just 6 km away from the town of Ostuni. Throughout the centuries, several parts of the Masseria have changed their look and purpose in order to favour the different cultivations and activities that took place in the farm.
The toponym “Cervarolo” derives from the presence of deer in the area, once characterised by dense forests. A small church, dedicated to Our Lady Of Sorrow Virgin Mary (1798) is annexed to the Masseria. It is characterised by a wonderful polychromatic baroque altar and several frescos. As the presence of numerous written prayers testifies, this church was a very important place of adoration. All the legends related to Masseria Cervarolo made this place a destination for those pilgrims who were looking for serenity and interior peace. It is also said that, in the area of the Masseria, spring comes some weeks in advance and the farmers living in the surrounding area adapt their agricultural activity to this phenomenon.
The restoration works, which lasted for 5 years, were carried out with the aim to respect and preserve the scenset building. We created an amazing and elegant countryside house where our family looks forward to hosting you.
Today, a rental car can be dropped off at the hotel. (To be confirmed, an estimated cost will be provided; a small supplement might occur).
Today enjoy the day at leisure either on-property with a Wine Tasting or Cooking Class - or explore nearby Ostuni with your rental car.

Today you will drive to Borgo Egnazia and explore towns on the way. Drive South to Lecce (approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes) and Brindisi - or go west to Matera (approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes) before doubling back East.
Alternatively, take a direct route (approximately 35 minutes) and have more time to enjoy the Borgo.
Why we love it for you: Borgo Egnazia replicates an actual Puglian borgo, or village, and guests are even given a map to navigate the winding streets and lively piazzas. The whole property feels a bit like walking around the movie set of Gladiator with candle-lit corridors and stone villas, but with a few modern updates. Stretch out in the state-of-the-art yoga studio, dine in a Michelin-star restaurant, play a round of golf, and take a dip in one of the swimming pools worthy of an emperor.
