Item Description

Rome, The Amalfi Coast, Capri... Unwind and discover the timeless mystique of Italy!

Begin your Italian adventure in Rome with a two night stay at Palazzo Manfredi, a member of Relais & Chateaux. An elegant hideaway in the center of what was once Imperial Rome, this charming 17th century palace has spectacular views combined with superb hospitality. Enjoy a buffet breakfast each morning at the hotel’s Michelin starred Aroma Terrace. While you’re in Rome, you’ll be treated to a private, three hour walking tour of Rome’s enchanting historical heart. You’ll meet your English speaking guide in the hotel lobby to set off on an exploration of Rome’s center where you will discover famous sites of the Eternal City. After the tour, rest your feet as you delight in lunch for two at Ristorante Tullio, known for their seasonal specialties - it’s a local favorite!

Next stop, Amalfi... After leaving Rome, your first stop will be Pompeii, where you’ll enjoy a private two hour tour with an English speaking guide. Since its discovery in 1748, the city of Pompeii has captivated the world with its haunting beauty and example of perfectly preserved Roman life. After your tour, continue on to Amalfi where you’ll bask in the timeless beauty of the Amalfi Coast with a two night stay at Santa Caterina, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Santa Caterina is a late 19th century villa immersed in the beautiful scenery of the Amalfi Coast, an elegant seaside residence surrounded by the perennial blue of the Mediterranean sea and sky, by luscious bougainvillea and by lovingly cultivated olive groves and fruit orchards. The hotel is perched above the coast, just steps from the center of the historic marine republic of Amalfi. The location is perfect for day trips and tours of the Amalfi Coast. Relax in your sea front room or on your private balcony. After your complimentary breakfast, soak up the warm Mediterranean sun at the hotel’s private Beach Club, complete with a heated pool filled with sea water or explore the surrounding towns of Sorrento, Positano and Ravello.

Last stop, Capri... Round out your luxurious Italian getaway with two nights at the famed Punta Tragara, the five star resort perched atop the Isle of Capri with spectacular sea views. “Sister” hotel to the Palazzo Manfredi, Punta Tragara has multiple bars and restaurants on site, all offering the world-renowned culinary delights of Naples. Complimentary breakfast is included each morning. Spend your days exploring the delights of Capri: the intriguing Blue Grotto, the Gardens of Augustus, or simply relax at the hotel pool, overlooking the clear blue sea.
