Enjoy boat trips along the Amalfi coast and to the island of Capri
See the romantic coastal towns of Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello
Visit both Herculaneum and legendary Pompeii
Enjoy Italian hospitality at family-run Hotel Due Torri
Our leader will accompany the group on all scheduled activities, but due to Italian legislation is not allowed to guide groups around Herculaneum and Pompeii. The leader does not always accompany the group on activities undertaken on the free day but will be available to provide all the necessary information before you set off.
Transfers to and from the airport will be in a private vehicle (normally a mini-coach). On other days, private minibus and boats will be used.
We spend seven nights at Hotel Due Torri, a mid-sized hotel run by the welcoming Acampora family, who turn out authentic Campanian dishes in the restaurant and put on a show with their fun pizza-making demonstrations.
It sits in Bomerano, a peaceful village that forms part of the Agerola municipality, up in the hills and away from the often-bustling Amalfi Coast.
Being higher up, the hotel benefits from cooler nights, although beaches are not too far away. There is a small heated outdoor pool (usually open from mid-April to mid-October) and energy is generated by a solar panel system.
The 41 rooms vary in style and size and are spread across two main buildings and two cosy apartments a short walk from the main hotel. A limited number of upgraded rooms, which include a hot tub, power shower and fridge, are also available for a supplement payable before departure. Please ask your sales representative for further information.
Amenities
Hydromassage pool for refreshing post-hike dips
Buzzy restaurant serving local dishes
Limited number of upgraded rooms available with hot tub
Worth knowing
Pool opening dates are subject to local weather conditions and pool maintenance requirements; cooler months may not be suitable for swimming
When the hotel is full, you might still be able to join the trip on your preferred date by staying at an alternative accommodation just a short walk from the main hotel. You will be provided with full details upon booking and have full access to all the Due Torri facilities, including the pool and restaurant.
A kettle is available in the rooms. Please request tea/coffee bags at reception
