Capri and the Amalfi Coast:
an endless spectacle

Your arrival on the island of Capri is the ideal starting point to being transported into a dimension of pure beauty; a concentration of unique landscape wonders, elegant restaurants, trendy clubs, luxury hotels and famous designer boutiques, which with its whitewashed houses and characteristic pedestrian streets, seems more like a film set than a real place.

It was exactly here that the legendary “dolce vita” was born in the 1960s with the first paparazzi that set out to photograph the stars of the international jet-set arriving on holiday on the island such as Brigitte Bardot, Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Clarke Gable, Audrey Hepburn and many others.

Captured by the incredible atmosphere of the “Capri dolce vita” you can take a leisurely stroll through the famous “Piazzetta” and the lively alleys that characterise the historic centre.

Then, aboard a roaring vintage cabriolet car and with the sea breeze caressing your face, you will take a ride to Anacapri, on the highest reaches of the island , where you will be able to browse among the artisan workshops in the city centre, who have been making the famous Capri sandals for years; you will then make your way over to the beautiful Villa San Michele where you will no doubt be left speechless at the sight of one of the most evocative views of the island.

Did you know that if you caress the sphinx that is in the garden of the villa while making a wish… the wish will sooner or later come true? It doesn’t hurt to try!

Finally, if you want, you can opt for a taster of the delicious Capri cuisine with a romantic dinner under a fragrant lemon pergola in one of the most famous and exclusive restaurants on Capri.

An exclusive day of shopping with a professional personal shopper among famous designer boutiques, elegant ateliers and the colourful craft shops of the Capri shopping triangle, which runs from the legendary “Piazzetta” to Via Camerelle and Via delle Botteghe.

In the 200 meters that separate the Piazzetta from Via Camerelle you will be amazed by what is probably the highest concentration of luxury stores in the world, where you can buy the IT bag of the moment, preview winter collections, limited edition garments from the most famous international brands and dizzyingly beautiful jewellery.

If you are passionate about Made in Capri and the iconic garments that were born on the island, your personal shopper will take you to discover (and why not, to buy) the famous Capri sandals that Jacqueline Kennedy was crazy about; a pair of completely customizable flat sandals, made in front of your eyes and tailor-made for you.

Then, between one shop window and the next the pleasant scents will start wafting your way from the numerous workshops that you will meet along the way, where you can buy captivating artisan scents that are still produced by crushing Capri flowers and herbs in alcohol.

In addition to luxury and craftsmanship, you will also have the chance to pick up something good to eat and drink like a bottle of Limoncello D.O.C made with the fragrant Capri lemons and a traditional Torta Caprese, an island delight made from cocoa and almonds that is impossible to resist.

Day 5 brings yet another fun experience in vintage cars, but this time you are going to go visit the most famous archaeological site in the world, whose history is inextricably linked to the history of nearby Vesuvius whose devastating eruption made the ancient Pompeii immortal.

Guided by an expert archaeologist, you will take a real journey back in time within the Pompeii Archaeological Park declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site: a real Roman town in perfect condition, during which you will discover anecdotes and curiosities, a real insight into the life of the time.

You will walk along ancient streets such as the Via dell ‘Abondanza, stroll through the central Piazza del Foro, enter elegant residences to appreciate Roman architecture and art. You will then visit Lupanare, the oldest pleasure house in the world; take in the thermal baths, the temple of Apollo and the unmissable plaster casts of some of the victims of the eruption.

And when you start to feel peckish, you will have the chance to take part in an authentic Roman banquet in a themed restaurant with furnishings in the style of the time, reproductions of frescoes on the walls and staff dressed in the traditional toga, to taste the dishes of Ancient Rome accompanied by Mulsum, a wine widely used by the ancient Romans, obtained by mixing honey, ginger and a pinch of pepper with wine.

Finally, if you want, you can reach the top of the majestic Vesuvius to admire its ancient rocky crater and from there, enjoy a truly exceptional view of the surrounding landscape!

Your experience ends today, but the memory of your emotions will stay with you forever!
