The Amalfi Coast Escape

Main Destination Praiano 7 Days Tour

From €4,490 per person based on two people. Operating from May through October.

Six nights on the Amalfi Coast with the details already thoughtfully mapped out for you: a sea-view boutique stay, private chauffeur transfers, a private day on the water in Capri, Pompeii paired with wine and lunch beneath Mount Vesuvius, a hands-on farm-to-table cooking experience, and — just as importantly — time to actually enjoy where you are.


This itinerary was designed for two travelers who want to experience the Amalfi Coast without packing every day with tours. You’ll have experiences worth traveling for balanced with leisurely days for the beach, long lunches, exploring the coast, or doing absolutely nothing by the water.

Itinerary

BENVENUTI TO THE AMALFI COAST
Day 1

BENVENUTI TO THE AMALFI COAST

Arrive at Naples International Airport, where your private chauffeur will meet you for your transfer to the Amalfi Coast.

Your arrival service includes airport meet & greet, flight tracking and private door-to-door transportation, so there’s no figuring out trains, taxis or connections after an overnight flight.

Once you reach the coast, check into your boutique hotel and settle in.

The rest of the day is intentionally left open. Have a drink overlooking the Mediterranean, wander into town, enjoy your first Italian dinner and recover from your travels.


YOUR HOME ON THE COAST

For six nights, you’ll stay at a charming 4-star boutique hotel in Praiano, one of my favorite locations for travelers who want the beauty of the Amalfi Coast without staying directly in the busiest part of Positano.

Praiano sits along the cliffs between Positano and Amalfi, with sweeping Mediterranean views, little lanes and stairways winding toward the sea, and a much more relaxed atmosphere than its famous neighbor.

Your selected room category features a king bed, private jacuzzi and sea view, with daily breakfast included.

This is the kind of hotel I love pairing with this itinerary because your downtime still feels like part of the trip. You don’t have to leave the property every morning to feel like you’re on the Amalfi Coast.

CAPRI BY PRIVATE BOAT
Day 2

CAPRI BY PRIVATE BOAT

Today is entirely dedicated to Capri — and you’ll experience it from the water aboard your own private boat with an expert skipper.

Set out across the Mediterranean with Prosecco as Capri’s dramatic cliffs come into view. Cruise around the island to see its coves, grottos and famous rock formations from the water, with opportunities to swim in the clear Mediterranean along the way.

You’ll also have time to step ashore and explore Capri and Anacapri independently before returning to the boat.

A visit to the famous Blue Grotto can be attempted when sea and weather conditions allow.

This is a full-day private experience rather than a crowded group excursion, giving you considerably more freedom to enjoy Capri at your own pace. The underlying private boat experience is approximately seven hours. 

Private transportation to and from the marina is included.

AMALFI COAST AT YOUR OWN PACE
Day 3

AMALFI COAST AT YOUR OWN PACE

No alarm necessary.

After your day on the water, today belongs completely to you.

Stay by your private pool, explore Praiano, take a leisurely lunch overlooking the Mediterranean, head into Positano, or make it a beach day.

For travelers wanting a quintessential Amalfi Coast beach-club experience, One Fire Beach at Cala della Gavitella is right in Praiano. The cliffside club has direct access to the sea, loungers, food and drinks, showers and changing facilities and operates seasonally from May through October. 

Prefer another beach club or want lunch or dinner plans handled for you? Reservations can be arranged as part of your trip planning, based on your preferences and availability.

POMPEII + WINE BENEATH MOUNT VESUVIUS
Day 4

POMPEII + WINE BENEATH MOUNT VESUVIUS

Today brings together two sides of Campania: its ancient history and its wine.

Travel privately from the Amalfi Coast to Pompeii, where you’ll meet your private guide for an in-depth visit through one of Italy’s most extraordinary archaeological sites.

Rather than wandering the enormous ruins on your own, you’ll explore with a knowledgeable private guide who can put the homes, streets, temples and daily life of ancient Pompeii into context.

Your private guided visit and Pompeii admission tickets are included.

After Pompeii, continue into the volcanic landscape surrounding Mount Vesuvius for a completely different experience.

You’ll visit a winery surrounded by vineyards growing in Vesuvius’s mineral-rich volcanic soils and sit down for a four-course lunch paired with local wines.

It’s history, wine and southern Italian food in one day — without having to coordinate any of the transportation yourself.

Private round-trip transportation from the Amalfi Coast is included.

A DAY WITH NOTHING ON THE SCHEDULE
Day 5

A DAY WITH NOTHING ON THE SCHEDULE

This day is deliberately yours.

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make on the Amalfi Coast is trying to fit something into every available hour. This itinerary doesn’t do that.

Sleep in. Spend the afternoon at a beach club. Take the ferry somewhere on a whim. Have a three-hour lunch. Go shopping in Positano. Stay at your hotel with a book and a glass of wine.

If you’d rather have something arranged, I can also assist with restaurant reservations, beach club reservations and additional experiences based on what you’d like to do.

Otherwise, enjoy having nowhere you need to be.

FROM THE GARDEN TO THE ITALIAN TABLE
Day 6

FROM THE GARDEN TO THE ITALIAN TABLE

Your final full day brings you into the terraced gardens of the Amalfi Coast for a hands-on farm-to-table cooking experience.

You’ll begin among traditional terraced gardens filled with lemon and olive groves, vineyards and seasonal produce. Learn about the ingredients that shape the food of the region before heading into the vegetable garden to gather fresh produce and herbs for your class. 

Then it’s time to cook.

Working alongside local chefs, you’ll prepare traditional dishes before sitting down to enjoy what you’ve made as a four-course meal accompanied by local wine. Limoncello, Neapolitan coffee, recipes from the class and a cooking diploma are also part of the experience. The class itself is approximately four hours. This is small group experience with maximum size of 12 participants.

Private round-trip transportation is included. 

Your evening is left completely open for one final night on the coast.

ARRIVEDERCI, AMALFI
Day 7

ARRIVEDERCI, AMALFI

Enjoy breakfast and one last look at the Mediterranean before checking out.

Your private chauffeur will collect you from the hotel for your return transfer to Naples International Airport, with timing coordinated around your departing flight.
