Day 1. Welcome to Rome!
Fly into Rome, pick up your rental car, and hit the road! Enjoy a scenic drive to Positano, then check into your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at leisure, exploring the area surrounding your charming hotel!
Check-in - Positano Art Hotel Pasitea
The Positano Art Hotel Positea is a fine example of Mediterranean architecture, which enjoys a stunning and dramatic location atop the cliffs of Positano. In addition to its stunning art gallery, the hotel features well-appointed guestrooms furnished in the local lava stone and wrought iron, a unique wine bar offering an outstanding selection of Italian wines, and a cafe that showcases the authentic cuisine of the Amalfi Coast and Campania region.
Day 2. Positano
With a multitude of activities available and all of them accompanied by striking scenery, choosing what to do first might be difficult! You could hike the Path of the Gods, a walking trail along the Amalfi Coast that goes all the way to Nocelle, or you could wander the city's winding streets dotted with boutiques, art galleries, ceramic shops, and the occasional castle. You could also take a nice cruise along the beach roads for a drive with a view.
Or perhaps a day at the beach, relaxing on a beach chair while beach boys bring you food and drink is the way you want to start your days in Positano. A tip for beach-goers: chairs, umbrellas, and facilities are privately owned and a small fee is charged for using them.
Day 3. Positano
Photographers will find an endless muse in Positano. From the hill of houses to the stunning flowers to the coast, everything begs to be captured through a lens. Tourists could also rent a paddle-board or kayak and spend a day on the water. Exploring the otherworldly grottos on a boat tour is also an exciting and beautiful way to spend an afternoon.Â
For those looking to go a bit further, there are also ferries that go along the Amalfi Coast and to Capri, which makes for a stunning day trip.
Day 4. Positano
Make the most of your last day in Positano! Today, you might want to take a quick drive to the nearby resort town of Ravello. Still boasting seaside cliffs and gorgeous gardens, Ravello boasts a quieter atmosphere with buildings that will bring you back to the 13th century.Â
Day 5. Positano - Rome
Wave goodbye to the bright blue Amalfi Coast -- it's time to drive to the Eternal City! On the way, you may want to stop in the historic city of Pompei near Mt. Vesuvius.Â
When you arrive at your hotel in Rome, get settled and relax. Treat yourself to some delicious pasta after the drive!Â
Check-in - Donna Laura Palace
Feel like royalty at Donna Laura Palace, ideally located in Rome's Prati district and just a few minutes away from Vatican City, Tiber River and the Spanish Steps. Easily walk to Piazza del Popolo, Via Margutta with its art galleries, and the gorgeous Trevi Fountain.Â
This charming and recently renovated boutique hotel provides a warm and hospitable atmosphere with wonderful views over the Tiber River. Each of the 64 finely furnished guest rooms feature free Wi-Fi, minibar, electronic safe and more. Sit down to a drink at the comfortable lobby bar and enjoy a Meditteranean meal at Bistrot restaurant. Additional amenities include an on-site wellness area with small fitness center, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi, and a summer roof garden with stunning views of the dome of St. Peter’s.Â
Day 6. Rome
Ah, your first full day in Rome. Start your day with a cappuccino in Piazza Navona, then stroll down the charming Via del Governo Vecchio. Peek into the Pantheon, then toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain! Be sure to stop for pizza and gelato along the way.
Day 7. Depart Italy
Drive back to the Rome Airport, return your rental car, and say "ciao" to Italy until next time.
