Why travel with us?
We take the stress out of travel by planning every aspect of your trip. While the locations of our adventures change, some things are always included when you travel with us: We always choose destinations near water (because lakes, rivers and the ocean are simply amazing,) air conditioning is always available in your room for destinations with hot climates, we travel in smaller groups (in order to allow for an intimate experience,) and we do at least one activity that brings us into the local culture.
Whether we are wine tasting in Oregon or France, laying in the sun in the Caribbean, exploring the mountains and rivers of Norway or watching the sunset in the Bahamas or Southern Spain, we take care of everything which allows you to relax, explore and experience the best our destinations have to offer.
Where we’re staying
Wake up to sea views from every room in our sea-side villa perched on the cliffs of Amalfi.
This villa offers it all – wrap-around views of the Mediterranean Sea and town/harbor of Amalfi, a heated swimming pool, hammocks, comfortable beds with luxurious linens, padded lounge chairs for relaxation and multiple terraces. We also have access to the full kitchen and washer during our stay.
Voted one of the top B&B’s on the Amalfi Coast, we have private use of the entire villa throughout our stay.
Take the steps down to town or, catch the bus if you’re feeling a little less active, and explore the quaint town of Amalfi.
There are stairs that lead to the entrance of the villa, so you do have to be able to navigate them on your way in and out. There are also two lifts to take luggage up and down, or you can jump in and be shuttled most of the way up or down the steps.
What we’re doing
Amalfi is the perfect home base for exploring the entire coastline. While you never have to worry about the stress of planning every detail (we’ve got you covered), you also have the freedom to explore and do as much or as little as you’d like.
Optional day trips to Positano and Capri are offered, as well as half day trips to the local wineries, lemon farm and olive oil farm where we will meet local families and participate in cooking classes.
A private cooking class will be provided by the owners of the villa at their restaurant on the sea. We will learn to make pasta, pizza and Italian desserts while sampling local wine and lemonchello.
Additional offerings include:
A boat tour along the coast in an authentic Italian Gozzo can also be arranged, to visit the towns along the coast and the Blue Grotto.
Admission to one of the beach clubs where you receive a lounge chair and food/beverages right on the edge of the sea – an Amalfi Coast tradition!
