8 Days and 7 Nights On The 

Sorento, Amalfi Coast


Birthplace of the pizza and Sophia Loren, one hour south of the intensity of Naples, Sorento is serene and an ideal spot for a culinary vacation. It is a perfect home base to the much sought after Amalfi Coast. "This week-long Amalfi culinary vacation will take you from the posh island of Capri to the ancient ruins of Pompeii, and the cobblestoned medieval streets of Amalfi at the cliff's base. An expanse of precarious road will take you between villages, running through lush greenery and vineyards nestled in the folds of the jagged cliffs."

The lovely four-star relais hotel of only seven rooms and five suites that is situated on one of the hills of Sant' Agata sui due Golfi. Recently restored, the villa was originally built in 1892. The grounds include a swimming pool with a jacuzzi and sauna, tennis court and exercise room. With it's own  wine bar with incredible premium wines from Italy kept in a special made wine cave. The outdoor dining, lush vegetation and the cantina complete with Cuban cigars in the main building. All of this a long with it's own breathtaking private beach adds up to a perfect most memorable, relaxing vacation!
