Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1 – Rome | A Graceful Arrival
Welcome to Italy.
Upon landing at Rome Fiumicino Airport, your private driver will be waiting to escort you to your elegant hotel in the heart of the Eternal City. After checking in, the rest of the day is yours to unwind and settle into the rhythm of Italy.
Perhaps enjoy your first espresso in a lively piazza, wander through cobbled streets bathed in golden evening light, or simply relax before the remarkable experiences that lie ahead.
Overnight in Rome:
Albergo Ottocento (4★) – Classic Double Room with daily breakfast included.
Located just a few steps from Via Veneto, the Spanish Steps, and Trevi Fountain, this elegant boutique hotel offers the perfect base for exploring Rome’s historic center on foot. Blending classic Italian style with modern comfort, the property features refined interiors, an excellent restaurant, and attentive service, ensuring a relaxing stay in one of the city’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
Day 2 – Ancient Rome | Walking Through the Heart of an Empire
This morning, your private driver will accompany you to one of the world’s greatest archaeological treasures, where your personal guide will bring over two thousand years of history vividly to life.
Step inside the legendary Colosseum, walk the ancient streets of the Roman Forum, and stand atop Palatine Hill, where Rome was born. As emperors, gladiators, senators, and citizens emerge through captivating stories, the ruins transform into a living stage of one of history’s greatest civilizations.
After returning to your hotel, enjoy lunch at your leisure before spending the afternoon exactly as Romans do—wandering elegant piazzas, discovering hidden churches, browsing artisan boutiques, or lingering over a leisurely coffee while the city unfolds around you.
Overnight in Rome.
Day 3 – Vatican City | Humanity’s Greatest Artistic Legacy
Your private driver will escort you comfortably to Vatican City, where another unforgettable chapter of your journey begins.
Together with your private guide, explore the extraordinary galleries of the Vatican Museums, admire Michelangelo’s incomparable masterpiece inside the Sistine Chapel, and conclude your visit beneath the immense dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, where art, history, and spirituality converge on a breathtaking scale.
The afternoon remains free to enjoy Rome at your own rhythm—perhaps strolling through elegant shopping streets, relaxing in a quiet café, or simply absorbing the city’s timeless atmosphere.
Overnight in Rome.
Day 4 – From Rome to Amalfi | Where the Mountains Meet the Sea
Travel south aboard Italy’s high-speed rail network before continuing with a private transfer along one of Europe’s most spectacular coastal roads.
As dramatic cliffs begin to rise above the shimmering Mediterranean, you’ll arrive in Amalfi, where your elegant hotel becomes your home for the next several nights.
The remainder of the day is intentionally unhurried, inviting you to embrace the slower rhythm of the coast, breathe in the sea air, and watch the village come alive as evening settles over the harbor.
Overnight in Amalfi:
Hotel La Bussola (4★) – Superior Double Room with Sea View and daily breakfast included.
Perfectly positioned on Amalfi’s waterfront, just a short stroll from the historic center and the ferry terminal, this charming seaside hotel boasts panoramic terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. Your Superior Sea View Room offers breathtaking coastal vistas, while the hotel’s restaurant showcases traditional regional cuisine in an unforgettable setting facing the sea. Combining comfort, spectacular views, and an exceptional location, it is the ideal retreat for discovering the Amalfi Coast.
Day 5 – Amalfi & Ravello | The Luxury of Slowing Down
Today is dedicated to experiencing the Amalfi Coast without schedules or haste.
Lose yourself among Amalfi’s narrow lanes scented with lemons, admire its magnificent cathedral, browse family-run artisan workshops, or pause for a long seaside lunch overlooking the harbor.
Later, continue to Ravello, perched high above the coastline and easily reached by local bus or taxi. Here, elegant villas, peaceful gardens, and panoramic terraces seem suspended between mountain and sea, offering some of the most unforgettable views in Italy.
Sometimes the greatest luxury is simply having time.
Overnight in Amalfi.
Day 6 – Pompeii & Mount Vesuvius | History Shaped by Fire
Today’s private excursion reveals one of Italy’s most compelling contrasts.
Begin with an expertly guided exploration of Pompeii, where remarkably preserved streets, homes, temples, and frescoes offer an intimate glimpse into everyday life nearly two millennia ago.
The journey then continues to the fertile slopes of Mount Vesuvius, where volcanic soil has nurtured vineyards for centuries. Here, you’ll visit a prestigious winery before sitting down to a refined lunch featuring regional specialties, perfectly paired with a tasting of distinguished Lacryma Christi Superiore wines—an authentic expression of this extraordinary landscape.
A day where archaeology, nature, and gastronomy come together beautifully.
Overnight in Amalfi.
Day 7 – Positano | The Icon of the Amalfi Coast
Board a ferry for a leisurely voyage across the sparkling waters of the Amalfi Coast toward the enchanting village of Positano.
Pastel-colored houses cascade dramatically down the cliffs, bougainvillea spills from hidden terraces, and elegant boutiques line winding staircases that seem to disappear into the sea.
Spend the day wandering at your own pace, discovering artisan ceramics, local fashion, inviting cafés, and panoramic viewpoints before returning to Amalfi by ferry as the afternoon light softens across the coastline.
Overnight in Amalfi.
Day 8 – Agnone Cilento | Returning to Your Family’s Story
Today becomes something far more personal than sightseeing.
With your private driver, travel south into the peaceful landscapes of Cilento, reaching Agnone Cilento, the village where your family’s Italian story began.
Away from the better-known destinations, this authentic corner of Southern Italy offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with your heritage while experiencing the traditions, landscapes, and slower pace that have shaped generations of local life.
Some journeys are measured not by the places visited, but by the emotions they awaken.
Overnight in Amalfi.
Day 9 – Capri | Mediterranean Elegance
Your final full day is dedicated to the timeless beauty of Capri, one of the Mediterranean’s most celebrated islands.
Arriving by ferry, you’ll have the freedom to discover sophisticated boutiques, charming piazzas, spectacular coastal viewpoints, and elegant cafés where life seems to unfold at an effortlessly graceful pace.
Whether strolling through flower-filled streets or simply admiring the endless blue horizon, Capri offers the perfect finale to your Italian escape.
Return to Amalfi in the late afternoon.
Overnight in Amalfi.
Day 10 – Arrivederci Italia
