Let's take a tour in Italy with a real Italian!
As we did last year, In May we will travel to the charming town of Bellagio on beautiful Lake Como, and to the northern Mediterranean seaside towns of Santa Margherita, Portofino, Camogli, and the Cinque Terre. This tour will give us a relaxing taste of the beauties of the Italian Riviera, and the mountain-rimmed glory of Lake Como.
Fall in Positano will take us to the heart of the beautiful Amalfi Coast. We’ll spend our week together in a four star hotel overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the cliffside town of Positano. It's perfect position in this jewel of the spectacular coast will allow us to reach the “Grande Spiaggia”, the main beach, in only a few minutes. From here, we'll visit the Isle of Capri, Pompeii, Amalfi, and all the special magic of this area.
The choice is yours. A gift to yourself or someone you love.....to create memories to last a lifetime. Unpack your suitcase and relax for a week. Our escapes are for people who don't want an "everyday-organized" tour.
Our philosophy is different. You will not be herded around like sheep, on and off a bus every day. Your Escape, your activities, will be personalized to your interests. At times, we will accompany you; at times we will direct you and give you all the details. The trip will be yours.
Everywhere you look is inspiration for creativity and relaxation.Rest assured, on a Great Escape you will be in a breathtaking setting, in a gentle, beautiful place of history, with kind people helping you discover and explore.
