Experiences

Vespa tour If you would like to add more taste to your first day in Rome, you can combine this packet with an exciting tour by Vespa as in the movie roman holidays, following Audrey Hepburn’s example. From the city center, you will drive along the roman roads, reaching some of the most beautiful areas outside the city walls. You will ride among the typical houses from the 20s in the famous neighborhood of Garbatella, or among the big palaces from the 70s in the area of Spinaceto until to the beautiful villas in Casal Palocco, between the city and the sea of Ostia.
Every morning there are streets in each neighbourhood that get crowded and animated with the pitchmen’s benches and their products. We can grant a walk among vegetables, meats, cured meats and different kinds of cheese in the “flower market”, one of the oldest ones in the capital. This market, with its explosion of colors, smells and vivacity, has turned into a legend thanks to the cinema, the art and the poetry, that continue to use it in order to give a portray of Rome in its true essence.
Bike Tour accompanied by an expert guide along the Appia Road, admiring the most beautiful monuments and places of the park and discovering the less famous treasures of the city, in order to pass a peaceful day in contact with the nature, far away from the urban chaos.
The Caffarella valley reflects the history of Rome, of its culture, of the civilizations and the land on which they settled down. The valley lies just next to the Aurelian Walls, between two ancient main roads, the Latina road and the Appia road. The valley was the scenery of many myths and legends, probably inspired by its soft mountains that work as natural boundary, and certainly by the presence of the Almone, a small tributary of the river Tiber, that the Romans considered sacred.

Breakfast and guided visit of the Amalfi coast, above all the towns of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Positano is an almost impossible town, clutching the cliffs of Monti Lattari, a pastel-dabbled landscape that scrambles up the hillside from the Mediterranean Sea. It sits above the glittering gulf with views that sweep over the sea to the islands and coastal towns; it is itself a sight to see on its steep perch. Here, the "streets" take the form of passageways among the houses and steep sets of stairs that interlink the alleys. Only one road traverses the town - viale pasitea, where shops, cafes, hotels and villas huddle together to take advantage of the vehicular access and "wider" space. Other shops, eateries and coffee bars are tucked away in the lanes that you access by foot. Lunch in a local restaurant.

Guided visit of Amalfi. Amalfi is one of the most historic towns along the Amalfi coast, having had a glorious history as a maritime republic whose status joined the ranks of coastal powerhouses like Pisa, Venice and genoa.
