Itinerary in detail

Around Sorrento

Perched gracefully above the Bay of Naples, Sorrento is a place where sea and sky blur into one endless horizon. Its sun-drenched terraces, lined with fragrant lemon trees and overlooking glittering waters, invite you to slow down and take it all in. The town’s charming architecture — from stately villas to cliffside hotels with wrought-iron balconies — reflects a timeless elegance, blending Mediterranean warmth with noble refinement. Walking through its narrow lanes, every corner opens to a postcard-perfect vista, each one more breathtaking than the last.

Amalfi History

Once a powerful maritime republic, Amalfi carries the grandeur of its past in every stone and staircase. The town unfolds like an open-air museum, its alleys winding upward through cascades of whitewashed homes and terraced gardens. At its heart, the magnificent Cathedral of St. Andrew rises with bold Moorish arches, bronze doors from Constantinople, and a sweeping staircase that commands the bustling piazza below. Here, history is not locked in museums — it breathes through the architecture, the patterns in the tiles, and the quiet dignity of ancient chapels.

Magic in Ravello

Suspended between sky and sea, Ravello is the very definition of enchantment. Known as the “balcony of the Amalfi Coast,” this hilltop gem captivates with its dreamlike views and poetic atmosphere. Its architecture feels lifted from a Renaissance painting — domed churches, Arabesque cloisters, and noble villas framed by gardens that spill over the cliffs. At Villa Rufolo or Villa Cimbrone, time seems to pause as you gaze from stone terraces toward a shimmering coastline far below. In Ravello, beauty isn’t just seen — it’s felt, deeply and quietly, like a secret whispered by the landscape.

" From Sorrento’s cliffs to Ravello’s skies, the Amalfi Coast is a dream carved in sunlight and stone. "
