Day by day

The route, plotted.

1Naples → Positano

Arrival & the first terrace

A private transfer winds you down to Positano. Settle into a cliffside suite, then nothing on the schedule but an aperitivo as the lights come up.

Cliffside suite, Positano

2Positano

A boat and a beach you have to earn

A private gozzo takes you along the coast to a hidden swimming cove, lunch at a family trattoria reachable only by water, and back for a slow evening.

Cliffside suite, Positano

3Capri

The blue grotto, before the crowds

Early private boat to Capri to beat the day-trippers; the Blue Grotto, a chairlift to Anacapri, and a long lunch in the Gardens of Augustus light.

4Positano → Ravello

Up into the quiet

Move to Ravello, the coast’s serene high terrace. Villa Cimbrone gardens at golden hour and a chamber concert if the season obliges.

5Ravello

Lemons, and the people who grow them

A morning with a lemon-grove family — harvest, granita, and the kind of lunch that becomes the story you tell at home.

The towns between

A day with no plan at all

We leave this one open on purpose — a spa morning, a return to your favorite spot, or simply the terrace and a book.

Common questions

How do your planning fees work?

We charge a flat planning fee that compensates the research, supplier relationships, and design behind a custom trip — from $350 for a focused getaway to $1,500+ for a complex multi-country journey. The fee is partially or fully credited toward your trip when you book through us, per your engagement letter. Fees are earned once design work begins and are non-refundable.

Do I need travel insurance?

We strongly recommend it on every trip and require it for remote or expedition travel. A good policy covers trip cancellation, interruption, medical emergencies, and evacuation. We’ll always explain your options and what a policy does and does not cover, but we are not insurers and the final choice is yours.
