Amalfi Coast Holidays (2019/2020)

Overview

The city of Naples is like a treasure trove – full to the brim with historical artefacts and archaeological gems dating all the way back to the 2nd millennium B.C.

Sitting peacefully on the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy, Naples (or Napoli as the locals say) boasts centuries and centuries of important art and architecture in the form of cathedrals, palaces and castles such as the Duomo di San Gennaro, the Royal Palace and Castel Nuovo.

And with the dark, brooding Mount Vesuvius sitting a stone’s throw away on the horizon, shrouded in mystery, Naples has scenery that’s anything but ordinary too. You can go from scaling Vesuvius’ tenebrous peak to lounging about by the teal-coloured ocean sipping negronis all within a matter of hours.

So to help you make the most of your four-night mini-break, we’ve organised excursions galore. You’ll go from wandering the wonderfully labyrinthine streets of Naples, reveling in sights and delights such as the Chiesa del Gesu Nuovo (a Baroque style church) and the medieval castle of Castel Nuovo, to soaking up the history during an excursion to Pompeii – the ancient city destroyed after a volcanic eruption in A.D. 79.

Then, make your way towards the sun-soaked Amalfi Coast, a picture-perfect 50 km stretch of coastline, boasting pastel-coloured villages and cliffside lemon groves. Gaze at the stunning town of Positano and visit the gardens of Villa Rufolo dating all the way back to the 13th century.

And while the days will be spent exploring Naples and its outskirts, the nights will be spent at the four-star Hotel Terminus. Located right in the beating heart of the city on Piazza Garibaldi, the hotel is also close to the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli and Teatro di San Carlo, meaning you’re never too far from a piece of the action.

Relax and unwind in the evenings on the rooftop terrace, hunker down over a delicious breakfast buffet in the mornings and listen to the staff wax lyrical about Italy, il bel paese.
