The Journey Begins: From Sorrento to the Coast

Starting at 4:00 pm, your private driver will meet you at your hotel lobby in Sorrento. From there, you’ll begin a scenic drive along the spectacular Amalfi Coast. This isn’t just transportation; it’s an opportunity to appreciate the dramatic coastline, where cliffs seem to tumble into the sea and tiny villages cling to the hillsides. The comfort of a private van means you can sit back, take photos, or simply enjoy the view without the chaos of group buses.

Traveling with a dedicated driver also offers flexibility—if you want to stop for a quick photo or a moment of quiet reflection, just ask. The drive usually lasts about three hours, with several stops along the way to capture panoramic vistas or snap that perfect shot of a charming villa perched on the cliff.

Amalfi: More Than Just a Pretty Town

Your first stop is the historic town of Amalfi, once a powerful maritime republic.

According to reviews, this is a highlight. One traveler mentioned that wandering Amalfi’s streets feels like stepping back in time, and the cathedral’s architecture is truly impressive. The cloister, with its peaceful arches and lush courtyard, offers a perfect spot to pause and soak in the atmosphere.

Positano: A Fairy-Tale View in the Evening Light

Next, you’ll head to Positano, perhaps Italy’s most Photogenic town. Famous for its colorful, pyramid-shaped houses cascading down the cliffs, this town looks like it was plucked straight from a postcard.

Your visit is timed for sunset, and the atmosphere here is magical. The warm glow of the setting sun enhances the vivid colors of the houses and the shimmering sea below. You’ll have about an hour to explore, soak in the views, or find a cozy spot for your dinner.

The highlight is undoubtedly the sunset dinner. Set in an atmospheric location, you’ll enjoy a delicious meal with panoramic views that make every bite taste even better.
