Let the journey from Florence to Amalfi begin!
Upon your arrival in Rome, a personal driver will accompany you to the first stop on this enchanting journey: Tuscany.
In one of the splendid residences that we have chosen for you, you will immediately begin to experience, and taste, authentic Tuscan culture by sampling the typical regional cuisine.
After satisfying your palate, you will also be able to feast your eyes on the artistic and cultural excellence that surrounds you in Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance.
Together with a private guide, on an exclusive walking tour, you will retrace the history of the Florentine city. You will travel through time, visiting the cathedral complex of Piazza del Duomo, which includes the Baptistery and Giotto’s Bell Tower, and continuing with a visit to the magnificent Uffizi Gallery with its priceless artistic collection, mostly from the historic Medici family. Here you will find the richest collection in the world of works from the Tuscan school, including: Cimabue, Michelangelo, Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Botticelli. After that you will visit Santa Maria Novella and the Accademia Gallery, the home of Michelangelo’s most symbolic work: The David.
From Tuscany to Campania: discover the route from Florence to Amalfi
Your exclusive journey fron Florence to Amalfi will then continue to Campania. You will be escorted to the Florence train station where an express train will take you to Naples: here, once again, a private driver will accompany you to the heart of the Amalfi Coast, in Positano.
Along the way, a stop in Pompeii, the most visited archaeological site in the world, is a must. With an exclusive guided tour, you can admire the ruins of the ancient city which, in 79 AD, was submerged by lava from the volcanic eruption of nearby Vesuvius.

From the Mainland to the Sea and the Islands of Campania: the journey from Florence to Amalfi
After history and art, it’s time for sea and nature. From the hotel, you’ll arrive at the port where, aboard a private boat, you will leave for the island of Capri. No, this is not a dream, it is pure reality: you will visit hidden places and small coves accessible only by sea.
After having delighted in the atmosphere and the colors of the places that animate the Amalfi Coast, your journey south ends in the blue of the sea of Amalfi, where you will enjoy breathtaking views along the narrow streets that climb above the coast. With only seven thousand inhabitants, its white houses, mild climate year round, and artisan shops animate this pearl of the coast. Not to be missed, apart from its intensely blue waters, is the climb up the steps to the Cathedral in Arab-Sicilian style that dominates the town from above.
After your visit to Amalfi, you will be relaxed and ready to experience new emotions that will leave you even more captivated by the beauty of the Italian peninsula: the Eternal City awaits you to round off your journey.
Rome certainly needs no introduction, and every word becomes meaningless compared to its magnificence.
So, we won’t even try to describe it, knowing that our efforts, and your imagination, will never be able to match up to what you will actually see in Rome: The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and so much more. Welcome to History.
