master of Italian cuisine, Maestro Gualtiero Marchesi, provides the inspiration behind the
cuisine prepared by Head Chef Osvaldo Presazzi and his team. The lake takes center stage
on and off the plate, with local produce and freshwater fish featuring predominately on the

more dramatic main course, choose one of the flambé dishes prepared tableside with all of
the ceremony you would expect. No matter what you choose, as you sip a local vintage and

Pompeii which was buried under cinder from 79 A.D. in of the most disastrous volcanic
eruptions, today provides us with first class evidence of how the way of life was in a Roman
city during the time of the Roman Empire. This site is located in an extremely attractive
setting and your guide, who will meet you in Pompeii will not only make this city become
alive for you but she can rebuild the city before your very eyes. The Roman Forum, the
Basilica, the town centre, the stores, the fast food places, the Stabian Baths with their
separate men/women sections, the swimming pools, the hot and cold rooms which are in
an amazingly excellent state of preservation, this is all there to be lived, enjoyed and
understood, learn how life over the centuries or should we say way of life has changed very,
very little. What to some people may be a few old rocks and stones is in fact one of the most
beautiful cities of a past Roman Empire.
(Tour duration: 4 hours – 2 entrances for Pompeii included)

Amidst the pastel-shaded houses clinging to the perpendicular cliff of Positano is the Covo

restaurant, it was been transformed into a charming hotel offering gorgeous views, a

cuisine.
Official Description: Over an old fishermen’s house that every so often became a haven for
Positano – who made themselves up as Saracens to relive the legend of the predato – Covo
dei Saraceni began. The Rooms here are full of light both naturally and artificially and you
can sit back and enjoy in full comfort the sound of the sea splashing against the rocks – the
Balcony rooms are particularly special at this property.

DAY 11
Enjoy a very special day visiting the beautiful Island of Capri with your local
expert guide.
Our Tour today will take us from your Positano with your guide on the hydrofoil to Capri.
As we cross the sea our guide will introduce us not only to the Sorrentina Peninsula and
Bay of Naples but also the beautiful island of Capri. On arrival we will enjoy exploring the
port area, known locally as Marina Grande. From the port we will take the funicular up to
Capri Town, which is a charming white town which is daily worn down with the treat of
many visitors. The architecture of Capri Town complements the islands natural beauty and
much of what we consider to be typical and home made Mediterranean building can be
seen here in the older quarters of the town. Not only will you find beautiful stores here in
Capri town but also there are plenty of moulded arches, domes, narrow streets and
stairways to explore. Once explored we will taxi up to the higher level and town of Ana
Capri which was once a fierce rival of Capri town. Whilst also elegant Ana Capri has more
of a rustic air to it and here you will see many olive streets, surrounding vineyards and a
more simple Moorish style of architecture. As well as the main areas we can visit the Piazza
San Nicola and its 18th century Church of San Michele, the Church of Santa Sofia and from
Piazza Vittoria we can head over to the Villa San Michele of Acel Munthe. For the more
adventurous, you can take a chairlift to the summit of Monte Solaro – the highest point on
the island from where the views are quite stunning. Following our visit to these areas of
Capri we return to the Marina Grande with the taxi to catch the hydrofoil back to Positano
(Tour duration: 8 hours - Hydrofoil return tickets from Positano to Capri, Funicular tickets
and local taxi transfer on the island included).

characteristic features of Positano is the architecture of the houses: cubes, painted white,

particularly delightful.

Here you will enjoy a very unique candle light-dinner experience with the special tasting

compliment the dishes. Dinner ends with a vertical descent into the Wine Cellar from
vaults that were built at the turn of the last century, through lower cellars of the 16th and
17th centuries, down to an extraordinary tunnel that was dug out of the tufa hillside in the
Roman era. Inside, the temperature is perfect for the 'king' Barolo, the bubbles of
Franciacorta, the big super-Tuscans and rising stars of southern Italy. All guests will
receive pasta and tomato sauce as a farewell gift as they are the two items which represent
the main ingredients of the Region dishes.
