Volare!

Today is the day to travel where your heart takes you! One thing I have learned in all these years on the Amalfi coast is that sometimes it’s best to improvise! Let yourself fly and take a trek up to the Pathway of the Gods with Zia Lucy! Maybe take a sail around the islands of the Sirens or down the Amalfi coast in the boat of a local fisherman famous for his tales and songs of the sea. Stop into a church or museum or watch the world go by at a cafe. See history unfold at Pompeii or Herculaneum. Or just catch some rays at a private beach, go do some shopping around town or just find a quiet spot to read in the garden. We can arrange these or many other excursions for you, some at extra cost.

Just be back in time for dinner at one of the liveliest restaurants in town!

See Naples and die!

Well, we don’t want you to do that, but Naples was once a must see on any trip to the continent. The sheer beauty of the sea, the castles and Vesuvius looming large in the distance is amazing. Yes, it has a history of being a gritty city, but its still less dangerous than New York, London or Paris. The food alone is worth the trip; nowhere else will you find the original margherita pizza, fresh produce and seafood, as well as amazing traditional Neapolitan pastries. And at even more amazingly low prices! And the coffee is rumored to be the best in the world!

We will set you up in a gorgeous boutique hotel on the LungoMare, the hippest place to see and be seen along the seafront and near an ancient castle. The chic Chiaia shopping district is nearby, as well as the historic Archeological Museum, which houses the treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Pricing is dependent on the experiences you choose
