Morning car pick-up in Rome, heading south towards, Puglia – the “heel” of Italy’s boot. Along the way, visit the Matera to explore this one-of-a-kind city, a land lost in time. Enjoy a private guided tour of the famous "sassi" (large rock homes built into the mountains that are still preserved today and have been inhabited as late as the early 20th century). That evening, settle into your hotel before enjoying a group dinner featuring local specialties.
Start the day with a private guided excursion through unforgettable Alberobello and the incredibly unique "trulli" (an UNESCO World Heritage Site of majestic white homes with conical domes that are pervasive in this region). That afternoon, expand your Italian cooking skills and learn all about the delectable Pugliese culinary treasures you've already had with a cooking class inside an original trullo with an Italian mamma who will share with you her secret recipes, passed down from generations.
Begin today by relaxing, perhaps with a stroll through the town on your own. In the afternoon, travel along the inspiring Adriatic coast to visit the charming seaside towns of Trani and Monopoli. Get your camera ready for Polignano a Mare and its dramatic limestone cliffs that drop to the sea below - the site is sure to take your breath away!
Bid arrivederci to Puglia and say buongiorno to the Amalfi Coast. En route, stop in the town of Ravello to take in the awe-inspiring panorama of the coast from the Villa Cimbrone with its enchanting gardens and ancient statuary. That evening, reminisce about your day over dinner at a local restaurant where regional specialties abound.
If the weather is agreeable, enjoy a day trip to the unforgettable Capri which has been immortalized throughout history as the place of royalty. For lunch, relax in an intimate restaurant with a view of the Faraglioni, the iconic rock formations that rise out of the crystal blue waters surrounding Capri.
Enjoy a leisurely morning to explore on your own, perhaps with some shopping for olive oils and wines you've discovered along the journey. That afternoon, tour through the scenic Amalfi Coast with its breathtaking coastline dotted with quaint and uniquely crafted towns built into the green hillside. Afterwards, discover how regional specialty limoncello is produced with an educational visit to a local producer – not complete, of course, without a generous tasting - followed by a group dinner.
Travel back to Rome with a stop along the way to visit the ruins of the ancient city Pompeii, a land frozen in time by the cataclysmic blast of the looming Mount Vesuvius. After a guided tour learning about life in this ancient society, head back to Rome where we bid you arrivederci and a buon viaggio!
