8-Day “Grand Tour of Mediterranean Sea“ - Amalfi Coast & Capri, Argentario, Cinque Terre, Portofino, Monte-Carlo
8-Day “Grand tour of mediterranean sea“
Amalfi Coast & Capri, Argentario,
Cinque Terre, Portofino, Monte-Carlo
DAY 1: Discovering THE Amalfi Coast
• You will be met at Naples Capodichino International Airport and transferred by limousine
to the splendid Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, at Piazza Tasso in the heart of Sorrento.
Sorrento Peninsula has a unique landscape in the world, where low and high hills, deep
valleys and majestic mountains alternate, where the Man’s work - who levelled even the
most impervious areas, transforming them in the famous terraces degrading towards the
sea, on which he cultivated orange and lemon trees, olive groves and vineyards - has
been grandiose. These are the delight’s gardens that in springtime exhale a stirring scent
of orange - blossom. The mild and dry climate for most part of the year makes Sorrento
Peninsula the ideal destination in every season.
Afternoon
Departure by Limousine along the coast with halt at Positano
• First halt in Positano, one of the most beautiful areas of the Salernitana coast, rises the
wonderful city of Positano, in an amazing panoramic location, looking out onto the vast,
clear blue sea.
Emerging from the sea around three miles from the coast is “Li Galli” or “Sirenuse”, a small
archipelago, formed by three islands.
Despite intense development, Positano has maintained its distinct characteristic of a vertical
village and its cheerful architecture with charming nooks and stunning scenery. The whole
town is worth seeing with its multitude of houses, domes, arches, alleys and its thousand
stairways that climb up along the rocks.
Departure by Limousine along the coast, to reach Amalfi and Ravello
• Next stop in Amalfi and time at disposal to visit this gracious town.
The origins of Amalfi are veiled in legend, founded by the hero Hercules, who on this beach
buried his beloved Amalfi, the nymph with eyes the colour of the sea…
Indeed after the cultural Avant Garde, the disaster of the two wars, the next appointment
was at the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties: when the Dolce Vita (sweet
life) exploded on the scene and summers were spent between Capri, Amalfi and Positano.
Actors, film directors, artists and adventurers of every type populated the Amalfi Coast with
their great love stories and scenes of jealousy, works of art…
Evening
Dinner in Ravello - Restaurant suggestions: Rossellinis.
Overnight at Hotel Excelsior Vittoria 5* (Sorrento).
DAY 2: THE ISLAND of CAPRI
Morning
Transfer by private boat to Capri.
• Arrival to Capri and free time to explore the Island of Capri.
The craggy, flower covered Island of Capri is home to any number of artistic, historical and
natural wonders. Although this “paradise of idleness”, surrounded by the bluest of seas, has
been enchanting visitors for centuries, in recent years more than a touch of cosmopolitan
glamour has been added - in the form of designer shops, luxury spas, sumptuous hotels and
the holidaying glitterati.
Lunch in Anacapri - Restaurant suggestion: Rondinella.
Afternoon
Tour by private boat around Capri and transfer back to Sorrento.
A tour around the island of Capri by boat is, without doubt, a unique and truly exhilarating
experience. The spectacularly dramatic coast of Capri is characterized by numerous creeks,
tiny bays and caves. On sunny days, beneath the crystal clear waters, one can see a
seabed rich in flora and fauna.
During the tour you will visit famous spots such as Grotta Azzurra, Punta Carena,
Faraglioni.
• The itinerary by private boat foresees halts in cosy creeks for a swim in the crystalline
waters of the Ionian Sea.
Dinner in Sorrento - Restaurant suggestions: Il Buco (1 Michelin star), Caruso.
Overnight at Hotel Excelsior Vittoria 5* (Sorrento).
DAY 3: Driving to ARGENTARIO

Morning

hand for the whole length of your Tour of Italy by Limousine.
Departure by Limousine in direction of Porto Ercole
Options halts (Pompeii, Vesuvius, Caserta’s Palace)
• If you love history, you won’t miss the Pompeii archaeological site.
Pompeii is one the most important archaeological site anywhere. Almost every other ancient
urban site is simply the remains of a ghost town, long ago deserted by its citizens who
carried away with them everything of value. Prior to the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii was
a thriving city. Then it was buried with so little warning in 79 A.D. that Pompeii was literally
frozen in time.
• You can also go up Mount Vesuvius to visit its crater.
Mount Vesuvius dominates the landscape of Naples and its last eruption in 1944 blasted
open the cone and the plume of smoke that had long been a constant reminder of the peril
also disappeared. Along the crater border, you can admire the entire Gulf of Naples and if
the weather is good and clear you can see the isles of Capri and Procida.
• Halt at the Abbey of Montecassino for a visit.
Rising 1700 feet above sea level is the amazing and beautiful Abbey of Monte Cassino.
The Abbey was founded in 529 by St. Benedict and it became home to the Roman Catholic
order of Benedictines. To many the Abbey was a beautiful and magnificent monastery. To
others it was a giant fortress perfect for a military post. On February 15, 1944 the Abbey
was bombarded destroying the Germans stronghold on the area. After the war had ended
the Italian government funded the reconstruction of the Abbey.
Lunch in Fiuggi - Restaurant suggestion: Il Savoia (Hotel Palazzo della Fonte).
Afternoon
• Arrival in Porto Ercole and check-in at Relais & Chateaux Hotel Il Pellicano.
A magnificent retreat on the Tuscan coast, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees set in an
extensive garden.
The Argentario Peninsula is plenty of many beautiful spots to see in a short time: only 7 miles
separate Cala Galera from the tiny island of Giannutri, home of thousands of seagulls, and
only 13 miles away is the lively island of Giglio. For those who like to cruise «off-the-beaten
tracks», the waters of the preserved marine area of the island of Montecristo are certainly
worth a detour. Not to be missed the gourmet restaurant of the hotel, awarded since 2005
with 1 Michelin star.
Evening
Dinner in Porto Ercole - Restaurant suggestion: Il Pellicano (1 Michelin star) at the hotel.

Mountains” and creates small creeks, steep valleys where the towns are situated. This makes
