Italy's Coastal Paradises

Amalfi Coast Private Day Trip from Sorrento

Cook Like a Local with a Sea View Group Cooking Class

Your cooking class culinary journey starts with a scenic tour of the stunning Italian villa boasting panoramic views of the Bay of Naples. Explore the sun-kissed garden teeming with organic treasures—olive groves, lemon, and orange trees—that inspire the authentic dishes. Step into the kitchen where a beloved nonna, the heart, and soul of the villa, awaits to impart her time-honored culinary wisdom, including the art of crafting traditional limoncello from scratch. This cooking class is an unforgettable experience where every moment is infused with Italian passion and flavor!

Group Boat Excursion to Capri

Experience the beauty of Capri on a full-day excursion starting from the Sorrento port. Sail along the picturesque Sorrento coastline and marvel at iconic landmarks like the Green Cave, the White Cave, and Faraglioni Rocks. Enjoy stops for refreshing swims in crystal-clear waters and explore Capri and Anacapri during four hours of free time, discovering charming spots like Piazza Umberto I. Conclude your unforgettable journey with a return to the Sorrento port, having savored the essence of "la bella vita".

Full Day Catamaran Small Group Excursion to La Maddalena Archipelago

Joining a boat ride on a luxurious catamaran or an elegant and comfortable sailing boat is the most exclusive way to fully enjoy the beauty of Sardinia while being close to nature. You will be enchanted by the crystal clear waters and the white sands of the stunning bays across the Maddalena Archipelago. You can swim and snorkel with the equipment that will be provided onboard.

A 007 Sunset Drink in San Pantaleo

The picturesque village of San Pantaleo is nested in a scenic mountainous location. It retains its original look and temperament even after the touristic development of the coast and the fact that it served as the set of James Bond’s movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" with Roger Moore and Barbara Bach. The ideal time to visit is sunset, when the mighty mountains surrounding the village turn pink as you sip your drinks and enjoy local delicacies in the lively Piazza della Chiesa (we recommend Caffe Nina). San Pantaleo is located around a 30-minute drive from Costa Smeralda hotels, so you will need your own transportation, or our local Destination Expert can include the experience in our guided excursions.

Vermentino and Cannonau Winery Experience

For wine lovers, the ideal complement to a coastal vacation is a visit to a family-run winery to familiarize yourselves with indigenous Sardinian varieties and enjoy the local Vermentino di Gallura and Cannonau wines. Especially when an experienced sommelier presents them. Our local Destination Expert will help you choose among the best options, in particular around the area of Arzachena.

Drinks on the Beach

As you kick off your Alghero adventure, consider making your way to Spiaggia di San Giovanni for an unforgettable evening. This beach, especially vibrant during the summer months, boasts a lively ambiance with its array of bars along the shore. Settle into your chosen spot just as the sun begins its descent, treating yourself to a delightful happy hour against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.

Alghero Private Walking Tour

Walking by its streets you will discover the History of Alghero, called “Barceloneta”, the little Barcelona: in fact Alghero is the only Italian city speaking a Catalan dialect, and where you will also eat in a Catalan way. Visit to the ramparts with the Aragonese Towers and the Gothic-Catalan Cathedral  of  Santa Maria  (XVI-XIX century). Alghero is also famous for its “Red Gold”:  the Corallium Rubrum, the most precious Coral of the Mediterranean Sea, that is caught here.

Traditional Small Group Cooking Class

Join this cooking class in a secluded countryside home near Alghero in northern Sardinia. Your hostess, Irene, warmly welcomes you and makes you feel as if you’re cooking with a friend as she shares her tips. Learn to make fresh pasta from scratch paired with a simple, delicious sauce. Enjoy a small aperitif before your meal, then savor your pasta alongside a glass of locally-produced wine for a truly authentic experience.

Capo Caccia Natural Skyline

The limestone mountain of Capo Caccia is part of Alghero's skyline and is rich in natural caves, particularly the famous karstic Neptune’s Grotto. We recommend joining a half-day private tour to visit the otherworldly Neptune's Caves.
