(10 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis) Rome, Capri, Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Naples
This tour combines the rich history and sophisticated urban delights of Rome, the ancient ruins of Pompeii, and the picture-perfect seaside villages on the Amalfi Coast and Capri.
Begin with a relaxing overnight stay at La Posta Vecchia, located on the coastal outskirts of Rome. This elegant hotel was formerly the home of J. Paul Getty, and the basement is
now a museum housing the ancient ruins of a Roman villa that still remain under
the property. Enjoy the gardens, pool, sea views, and excellent restaurant before
departing with your private driver to the Amalfi Coast for the hydrofoil transfer to Capri. Spend three nights at a luxurious hotel in the village of Anacapri. One day, enjoy a guided tour of the island's highlights.
Continue to the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. Spend three nights at a resort in Ravello. A driver will be at your disposal one day for leisurely visits to seaside villages along the Amalfi Coast. During free time, enjoy the pool, spa, fashionable boutiques, and excellent local cuisine. Perhaps also attend an evening concert in a villa perched atop the cliffs in Ravello—throughout the summer, chamber music concerts are held many evenings in villas overlooking the sea.
Finally, spend two nights in Rome. En route, enjoy a guided tour of the ruins of Pompeii, preserved for centuries under volcanic lava and ash. If desired, you may also want to stop in Naples to visit small markets, the excellent archaeological museum, fine clothing boutiques and specialty shops that specialize in the flavors of Naples' Greek, Roman and French-influenced cuisine—and, of course, pizza, coffee and pastries!
Enjoy comprehensive touring in Rome and experience the best of Roman culture, history and lifestyle. Discover ancient pagan and Christian monuments, the splendors of Baroque and Renaissance palaces and churches, and the surprising urban additions of the modern city. Highlights include the Roman and Imperial Forums, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, Saint Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, Via Veneto, the morning fruit and flower market of Campo dei Fiori, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Jewish Quarter, Villa Borghese, the ruins along the Appian Way, beautiful Aventine Hill, the catacombs and "Underground Rome." During free time in Rome, enjoy la dolce vita and the city's excellent cuisine.
