YOUR FIRST DRAFT. ROOM TO PERSONALIZE.
A 5-night sample.
A single-base itinerary around Positano. Other cities above are alternatives or extensions, rather than stops included in this sample.
Compare the named stay tiers above for the reference dates, budget allowances and exclusions.
DAY 1Arrive in Positano+
Your planned private sedan meets you at Naples airport. Settle into the room category confirmed in your quote. Keep the first evening unhurried; dinner tonight is outside the two named dining allocations.
DAY 2Positano, then dinner at La Serra+
A slow morning in your coastal base, followed by the planned La Serra dinner. The estimate allocates $225 per person for this evening; the final menu, opening schedule and table are confirmed before booking.
DAY 3Pompeii with your private guide+
Plan six hours with a private guide, with day transport and advance or timed-entry admissions included in the $500-per-person allocation. The operator confirms the full day length, route and tickets; security queues still apply.
DAY 4A coastal day, dinner at Da Gabrisa+
Leave the day open for the coast, then a planned dinner at Da Gabrisa. The $175-per-person allocation covers this second named dining evening, subject to the final menu and reservation confirmation.
DAY 5A day left to you+
Enjoy your stay or add a separately priced experience. Da Adolfo is an optional coastal lunch idea; it is outside the two dinners and the $900 dining-and-guide allocation.
DAY 6A final morning and private departure+
Your planned return sedan takes you to Naples airport. The estimate includes $200 per vehicle for this leg, shared by two. Pickup, baggage, tolls and any late-night supplement are resolved in the written transfer quote.
The stay tiers above itemize the estimate and planning fee. Your written quote confirms room, inclusions, total taxes and cancellation terms. Airfare is separate.

THE PLANNING NOTES
An Italy itinerary with room to enjoy Italy.
Give each stop a reason to be there.
Choose what matters most: art, food, a beautiful coastline, a celebration, or simply a slower week. We start with those priorities and build the route around them. Adding another destination should add more to your trip than it takes away in moving time.
For a seven-night first visit, one possible starting point is three nights in Rome and four in Florence. A coast-focused trip needs a different route. These are inspiration examples, not priced or bookable packages.
Treat travel days as part of the experience.
Italy’s official tourism portal describes high-speed rail connections between major cities including Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, and Naples. The best option for your trip still depends on the exact stations, luggage, connections, and location of your next stay.
We compare the whole transfer, not just the train or flight. That includes getting to the station, reaching your hotel, and leaving time for a comfortable arrival. Timetables and fares are checked for your travel dates.
Choose the stay for your daily plans.
A beautiful hotel can still be the wrong base. We compare the neighborhood, room category, access, included services, and cancellation terms against how you want to spend each day. For a villa, we also consider the transport and coordination it requires.
- Spend on the upgrades you will notice.
- Compare the full stay cost, including transfers and meals.
- Leave space between timed reservations.
Make the experiences personal.
A private guide, a cooking session, a boat outing, or an unhurried lunch can each earn a place in the plan. We choose the mix around your interests and budget. Availability, inclusions, supplier terms, and the total travel cost are reviewed before you book.
Your itinerary should explain what happens next while leaving room to enjoy where you are. That balance is the work behind the plan.
