Ready to roll up your sleeves and work for your meal? My suggestion is to have a light breakfast today!

Enjoy Posh Positano and a Full Lunch with Plenty of Shopping Time

Positively Positano! Adored by the stars, and famous for its shops, Positano is waiting for you to discover it. Do some shopping, or grab a gelato or glass of chilled Prosecco and do what Italians do best, people-watch and comment on the fashion! We will enjoy a delicious group lunch before some time on your own to shop, sightsee and wonder off. 

We will arrive by private van transfer, but do what the locals do for our return to Amalfi, hop on the fun traghetto, the local water shuttle that will have us back to Amalfi before you know it! And enjoy amazing views along the way. 

Day 6 - Guided Visit to Ravello with Lunch on Local Winery

Enjoy Lunch at a Local Winery Before Heading for a Visit to Lovely Ravello

Today we visit the breathtaking “terrace of infinity.” We step outside of Amalfi for part of the day and head towards the hilltop town of Ravello, famous for its stunning views of the Mediterranean, and the dramatic views below.

Before heading into town, we will visit a local winery and enjoy a tasting of the local specialties.

 After our wine tasting, we will visit two of the Amalfi Coast most famous villas, Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone. Now a 5* hotel, Villa Cimbrone is the crown jewel of Ravello. Dating back to the 11th century, the gardens offer perhaps the most memorable sight in all of the coast.  Not for the faint of heart, the view is more than 1200 feet above the Mediterranean, making it a spectacular spot for pictures. The gardens of Villa Rufolo are also magical and we will also visit them during our time in Ravello.

After our guided time, you will have some time on your own for shopping, or to grab a gelato and enjoy the views.

Day 7 - Leisure Day

Rest, Relax, Rent a Chair at the Beach, Today the Day is All Yours!

In the evening, we will enjoy a final celebration dinner.
