Today you'll have the day free to rest and relax, either enjoying the hotel's facilities, or perhaps venturing into the centre of delightful Sorrento.
This iconic clifftop town seems built between the sky and the sea, and offers everything you might need for an enjoyable stay.
At its heart is the Piazza Tasso, free of cars in the evenings, when the bars and cafés that surround it become a perfect place to enjoy an aperitif and watch the locals meeting friends and strolling through the city on their nightly passeggiata.
On the shore, Sorrento's two tiny ports are backed by even tinier beaches and several boardwalks dotted with beach huts and sun loungers.
Today begins with a visit to the awe-inspiring ruins of Roman Pompeii.
Destroyed by the eruption of nearby Mount Vesuvius in 79AD, Pompeii lay buried and forgotten for hundreds of years. Although it brought destruction to the city, the eruption also preserved a slice of Roman life.
The site was rediscovered in the 18th Century, and since then excavations have continued to reveal more and more of this ancient, once magnificent city where the villas, temples and frescoed houses.
From Pompeii you'll journey around the bay, passing the famous volcano to Naples, one of Italy's most colourful cities, where you'll take a guided tour.
You'll see the Garibaldi and Plebiscito squares in the UNESCO-listed heart of the city, the San Carlo Opera House and the Royal Palace as well as the mediaeval, turreted Castel Nuovo, and the spectacular view from Posillipo Hill before you return to Sorrento at the end of a wonderful day.
One of the most scenic coastal roads in Europe forms the backdrop for today's trip. Dramatic rock faces plunge into the sea, elegant bridges span deep gorges and gently-contoured hillsides covered in vines, fruit and olive trees roll away into the distance.
Take in the view above the town of Positano, with its Moorish-style pink and white houses, and enjoy a visit to beautiful Amalfi, a thriving holiday resort with houses rising up the hillsides and a main square dominated by the beautiful cathedral.
Whilst in Amalfi, you'll be taken by boat to Maiori, a lively town that boasts the largest beach on the Amalfi coastline, where you'll find a lovely waterfront promenade with restaurants, cafés, and shops.
Today you can either choose to relax in Sorrento, or join an optional excursion for a fascinating insight into some of the traditions and cuisine of the region.
The tour will begin with a walking tour of Sorrento's oldest quarters, before taking you into the countryside of Campania. Your day will include visits to a local wine cellar, an ancient olive press and a working farm, where the region's famous cow's milk mozzarella is still hand-made.
You'll get the chance to taste some delicious regional produce, and your day will also include a scenic drive through some of the Sorrentine peninsula's smaller towns, with spectacular views of the "due golfi" of Naples and Salerno.
This morning you'll board the jet-foil for the 20-minute crossing from Sorrento to the chic island of Capri.
On arrival in this famous hideaway of poets and artists, a minibus will take you to the picturesque village of Anacapri on the slopes of Monte Solaro. Here you'll have time to take a chair-lift ride to the summit of Solaro before you continue to the island's main town to visit the Augustus Gardens, overlooking the Canzone del Mare, former home to the legendary Gracie Fields.
Spend your last day on the Amalfi Coast enjoying the surroundings of your hotel. Perhaps you'll enjoy a leisurely stroll down to the beach, where you can relax with outstanding views across the Mediterranean.
