Itinerary - Amalfi Coast Tour
Day 1 – Travelling to the Amalfi Coast
We depart from Rome at 10am and start our journey south
toward the Amalfi Coast. We have a few interesting stops
along the way.
Our first stop is at Montecassino, site of the major WWII
battle, where we visit the Allies cemetery. Seeing the site of
this famous battle is a real eye opener, and quite moving.
Montecassino
A short drive after lunch takes us to the start of the Amalfi
Peninsula and the town of Vietri Sul Mare. This is the major
ceramic producing town of the Amalfi Coast. The key
production is of the vibrantly coloured ceramics that are made
using the maiolica method. We visit a manufacturer where we
can see the ceramics being produced and painted, continuing a
tradition that started in the 1500s. We see the incredible array
of colours and creative designs of their finished product.
After looking through the town of Vietri Sul Mare we make our
way along the stunning Amalfi Coast road, with hairpin bends
and amazing views in equal measure - you'll realise the value
in having a professional driver for the trip. We reach the town Ceramics of Vietri
of Amalfi in the early evening, where we stay for the duration
of the tour.
The town of Amalfi is really the heart of the Amalfi Coast - the
centre of the marine republic of the 11th century, and still now
it has a proud community living and working here. The depth
of history here is profound, but equally it is a wonderful place
to sit in the piazza, enjoy a coffee and watch the world go by.
Our hotel, the Hotel Residence, is wonderfully situated on the
waterfront. One side you have uninterrupted sea views, and a The road to Amalfi

features is included, such as wifi, air conditioning, an excellent
restaurant and a cocktail bar.
Tonight we dine together, having our first introduction to the
cuisine of the Amalfi Coast.

Day 2 – Ravello and a taste of Amalfi cuisine
The Amalfi Coast cuisine is renowned for the combination of
traditional techniques and superb fresh ingredients. Today we
learn how it's made with a hands-on cooking lesson.
For the cooking lesson we travel to Ravello, which has long
been a favourite destination for both musicians and well-
heeled travellers.
We meet our charming chef, and we start our culinary Mozzarella making
experience. On a terrace with a view out over the Tyrrhenian
Sea, you could well linger here for the morning.
First we get hands-on making fresh mozzarella, with the
‘casaro’ (cheesemaker). This will later be an ingredient in our
antipasto. Then we work through the preparations for our
lunch, which we enjoy overlooking to coast.
After lunch we visit the famous Villa Cimbrone. The villa was
built originally in the 11th century as a residence for a noble
family. The grounds are beautifully kept, and the terrace
adjacent to the formal garden offers the best views in Ravello, The chef's limoncello
looking down over terraced lemon groves to the sparkling
waters below.
We spend the remainder of the afternoon in Ravello with some
free time. You may choose to visit the Villa Rufolo, another
noble residence which famously inspired the composer
Wagner. Or simply wander through some of the lanes, and
relax around the piazza area where there are numerous shops
and cafes.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch (including wine)
Lunch is served
Day 3 - Spectacular Sights and Spectacular Wine
In the morning we visit the cathedral in Amalfi. This is more
than just a church. Rather it is a complex of different buildings
from different era, and is the heart of Amalfi. From the
evocatively named ‘Cloister of Paradise’, with elegant marble
colonnades, frescoed private chapels an ancient Roman
sarcophagus. The Romanesque style Church of the Crucifix.
The 13th century Crypt of St Andrew, down below the church,

where the relics of Saint Andrew are contained.
And finally into the main cathedral, with its elaborate baroque
decorations. By moving through the sections of this cathedral
complex you get a feeling for the illustrious history of Amalfi,
from ancient Roman times, through to the Marine Republic
years and on to more modern times.
We drive to the small town of Minori, not far from Amalfi,
where we have lunch on the waterfront. We take the
opportunity to view and early Roman villa, as this coastline The Cloisters of Paradise
was a favourite summer destination of the Roman upper
classes.
Continuing on we drive to a family run vineyard near
Tramonti, high up in the hills of the Amalfi Peninsula. You’ll see
some vines that are very rare – this is a particular area that has
characteristics created from a unique combination of historical
circumstances.
We enjoy a number of their superb wines. Some of the
varieties used to make these wines are unique to the Amalfi
area, such as pepella and ginestra. The cathedral crypt
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch (2 course lunch including wine)
Day 4
Limoncello and Positano – chic & stylish by the sea
This morning we are taken into a valley beyond Amalfi, nestled
into the hills, where the famous Amalfi Coast lemons are
produced. We are shown around a family company who for
seven generations have been producing limoncello. This is
called ‘vertical farming’ – lemons are cultivated on terraces on
a steep hillside. The back of this valley is a type of heat trap,
the hillside lemons gaining excellent sun exposure. After Amalfi sfusato lemons
seeing how the lemons are grown, we are shown how their
limoncello is made. Of course, we sample their excellent
product too!
Next we visit Positano, famous for elegant fashion boutiques
and seaside charm, this is one of the key holiday destinations
of the Amalfi Coast.
Positano
www.italywithpleasure.comItinerary - Amalfi Coast Tour
Positano has an enviable combination of a beach with a broad
seaside promenade, with cafes and chic boutiques jostling for
position in the pastel coloured buildings. This is a good time
for a swim.
We start with lunch, in a restaurant overlooking the beach.
After a relaxing meal we have some free time in the afternoon.
You can spend some of the afternoon exploring the narrow
back streets lined with bougainvillea, have a swim, or just find
your nearest café, put your feet up and sample the local
gelato. The coast around Positano
To return to Amalfi we go by boat, and cruising along the
coast reveals a new perspective on the area, with some
incredible houses tucked away and tiny hidden beaches.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch (3 course lunch including wine)
Day 5 - Island time in Capri
Today we travel to Capri, a favoured destination for the rich
and famous in recent times, but also with an interesting history
stretching back beyond ancient Roman times. The maiolica domed church, Positano
On Capri we take the funicular railway up to the town centre,
where top fashion boutiques jostle for space alongside locals
selling fruit and vegetables.
Starting from the centre of town we first visit a monastery that
many people who visit Capri do not come across. This is a
fascinating place, with the remain of excellent frescoes in the
chapel. The monastery also has a view point looking out to the
Faraglioni, the towering rocks emerging from the sea which
are such a distinctive feature of Capri.
The Faraglioni rocks, Capri
We then have a lunch break before heading out to the Villa
Jovis. Passing a series of luxury villas and gardens, you pass
through the outskirts of town and reach the ancient Roman
site.
The Villa Jovis was the largest and most sumptuous of the
island’s 12 Roman villas and Tiberius’ main Capri residence. A
vast pleasure complex, now reduced to ruins, it famously
pandered to the emperor’s debauched tastes, and included
imperial quarters and extensive bathing areas set in dense
gardens and woodland.
Villa Jovis, Capri
www.italywithpleasure.comItinerary - Amalfi Coast Tour
The stairway behind the villa leads to the 330m-high Salto di
Tiberio (Tiberius’ Leap), a sheer cliff from where, as the story
goes, Tiberius had out-of-favour subjects hurled into the sea.
Today Tiberius’ Leap is worth visiting simply for the view.
Later in the afternoon you’ll find Capri has plenty of scope for
simply browsing the shops and enjoying the ambience. And
stroll down to the Gardens of Augustus for some more great
views.
Capri
We return by ferry to Amalfi late afternoon.
In the evening we have the final dinner, enjoying the best of
Amalfi cuisine and celebrating the week we’ve had in this
special part of Italy.
Meals: Breakfast and Dinner (3 course dinner including wine)
Day 6 - All Roads Lead to Rome
By now you know the local barista by name - and he knows
which coffee you order - but we must say 'arrivederci' to
Amalfi and return to Rome. The monastery on Capri
En route we visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Here we have a
guided visit, where we see both evidences of the lifestyle of
the inhabitants of this Roman city, as well as the destruction
caused by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
Even for those who have visited Pompeii before, having a
specialist archaeological guide provides an in depth experience
and is very revealing.
We enjoy a final lunch together in Pompeii, having our last
chance to enjoy regional cuisine, before heading north to
Rome.
We reach Rome early evening.
