Amalfi
On arrival at Naples I had arranged a private transfer to take us to the Hotel Villa Franca in Positano which was approximately 1hr 20 minutes’ drive. This is one of the highest hotels in this area so the views were absolutely stunning especially from the roof top pool terrace, a beautiful 4* hotel that I would highly recommend.
The following day I had organised a trip to Amalfi by boat which was a 25 minute journey which was delightful and once there we looked around the Cathedral, the shops of course and admired this lovely resort. We then proceeded to catch the open top bus to Ravello, another village further up into the countryside which was a must. It’s a gorgeous and very upmarket area with the most amazing views over the whole bay, along with lovely bars, restaurants, gift shops and awesome botanical gardens. We then returned to Positano by bus and boat again in time for a pre-dinner cocktail in our hotel.
For the second day I had again booked a private driver to take us all to Pompeii for the morning and then onto Sorrento for the afternoon. Pompeii was fantastic and the secret there is to book a guide, if not you would be totally lost! Sorrento was buzzing and had a lovely feel to it, after walking a fair bit we ended up in a hotel I sell a lot; the Antiche Mura for refreshment which was delightful, we then met our driver who took us back to our hotel.
We ate all three nights in Positano, up in the hills and down on the beach and all experiences were lovely.
Finally on our last morning we were able to chill by our pool and soak in the sunshine as we had very aching legs as these resorts are hilly and a test on your fitness! We finally were picked up from our Hotel and taken to the airport for our flight home to sunny Gatwick!
We all had such a lovely time with a bespoke itinerary made to suit us in an area I would highly recommend for couples and groups along with weddings without travelling very far at all.
