Lemon groves and a slow day in Sorrento

Sorrento, on foot

• Petit-déjeuner
• Nuit : Sorrento

Matin

After a late breakfast, your guide walks the group a few minutes from Piazza Tasso to a family-run lemon grove in the centre of town, where tall Sorrento lemon trees grow under wooden pergolas and dark netting. The family shows how the fruit is picked and how limoncello is made; the adults taste it and the children get fresh lemonade. Then the day is yours.

Après-midi

Take the lift down to Marina Grande, the old fishing harbour, for lunch by the boats; spend the afternoon at a bathing platform on the sea; or stay by the hotel pool. In the late afternoon the terrace of the Villa Comunale gardens looks straight across the bay to Vesuvius, and the deep green gorge of the Vallone dei Mulini is a short walk from the square. Your guide is around to help with plans and restaurant tables.

Compris

• Guided visit to a lemon grove in Sorrento, with a limoncello and lemonade tasting

Activités en option

Positano and Amalfi by sea, on to Maiori

Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi by boat, then Maiori

• Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
• Nuit : Maiori
• Environ 15 min de route

Matin

A boat leaves Sorrento mid-morning, rounds the tip of the peninsula and runs along the cliffs to Positano, the way the town looks best: pastel houses stacked above the beach and the tiled dome of Santa Maria Assunta.

Après-midi

We stop for a walk along Spiaggia Grande and an early lunch by the sand. In the afternoon the boat continues to Amalfi. Climb the wide staircase to the striped Cathedral of Saint Andrew, or sit in Piazza Duomo with an ice cream and watch the square. About 15 minutes by van then brings us to Maiori, which has one of the longest sandy beaches on the Amalfi Coast and a flat seafront promenade, home for the last three nights.

Compris

• Boat from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi
• Luggage transfer by road from Sorrento to Maiori

Ravello's gardens, an afternoon on the beach

Maiori to Ravello and back

• Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
• Nuit : Maiori
• Environ 45 min de route

Matin

Ravello sits about 350 m above the sea, and in the morning, before the heat, it is the calmest town on the coast. Our van climbs about 25 minutes from Maiori to the main square, so there are no steep steps to start with. Villa Rufolo, a 13th-century palace whose gardens Richard Wagner admired on a visit to Ravello, opens just off the square: flower beds, a Moorish cloister and terraces over the domes and the bay. Then we walk the gentle, partly stepped lane to Villa Cimbrone, about 15 minutes, for the long garden avenue and the Terrace of Infinity, a balustrade of marble busts hanging over the coast.

Après-midi

Lunch is in Ravello. By early afternoon the van brings us back to Maiori, where sunbeds and umbrellas are booked for the family at a beach club on the sand, with shallow water near the shore for the youngest.

Compris

• Villa Rufolo gardens
• Villa Cimbrone and the Terrace of Infinity
• Lunch in Ravello
• Sunbeds and umbrellas at a Maiori beach club for the afternoon

A boat day along the coast, then the farewell dinner

Maiori by boat to the Emerald Grotto, Furore and back

• Petit-déjeuner et repas du soir
• Nuit : Maiori
• En bateau

Matin

A boat for the group picks us up at Maiori in the morning, when the sea is usually calmest, and follows the coast west past Minori, Atrani and Amalfi. We stop at the Emerald Grotto at Conca dei Marini, a sea cave where light coming in under the water turns it green, visited by rowing boat; then idle into the narrow inlet of the Fiordo di Furore, crossed high above by a road bridge. Where the water is clear and calm we anchor for a swim from the boat, with life jackets and masks on board for the children, and anyone who would rather stay dry can sit in the shade on deck. We are back in Maiori by lunchtime.

Après-midi

The afternoon is free for the beach, a nap or the Path of the Lemons to Minori.

Soir

In the early evening we sit down together to a farewell seafood dinner, with fried anchovies, pasta and a children's menu.

Maiori to Naples

Maiori to Naples airport or Napoli Centrale

• Petit-déjeuner

Matin

After breakfast there is time for a last walk along Maiori's seafront or a final swim before the drive. Our van takes the family over the Lattari Mountains or round by Salerno, depending on traffic, to Naples International Airport (NAP) or Napoli Centrale, about 70 km and an hour and a half.

Après-midi

We plan one group transfer timed for midday flights. If you are flying early, tell us when you book and we will arrange your transfer to suit, and if you are going on by train, fast trains reach Rome in a little over an hour. Families who want more time on the coast can add nights in Maiori or Sorrento before or after the trip; ask us when you book and we will hold the same rooms if they are free. Grazie for travelling with us, all three generations.
