Italian Riviera: Rome to Sorrento

Rome

Begin your trip in central Rome, where the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona are all within walking distance. Spend your first days visiting these landmarks, stopping for coffee in side streets and exploring the narrow lanes around the Pantheon. The city is best experienced on foot, with something to see on every corner.

Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Your guided tour of the Vatican Museums gives you a clear route through the most important galleries before entering the Sistine Chapel. Your guide highlights the major works so you understand what you are looking at when you step inside. After the visit, explore Borgo Pio or St Peter’s Square for lunch, both within a short walk of the museums.

From Rome to the Coast

On day four, take the high speed train from Roma Termini to Naples. A private driver meets you on arrival and brings you to Sant’Agnello. The journey takes you from the energy of the capital to the terraced hills and coastal towns of the peninsula.

Sant’Agnello

Stay seven nights in Sant’Agnello, a calmer alternative to central Sorrento. You can walk the coastal path into Sorrento for sea views, restaurants and evening strolls. The village itself has small cafés, local shops and shaded streets that are easy to explore without planning a full day out.

Sorrento and the Peninsula

Sorrento offers narrow shopping lanes, small harbours and limoncello stands, with highlights such as Marina Grande, a colourful fishing cove, and Villa Comunale’s clifftop terrace overlooking the Bay of Naples. Nearby villages like Piano di Sorrento and Meta provide a quieter look at local life, with bakeries, neighbourhood beaches and calmer streets away from the main crowds.

Your chauffeured Fiat 500 tour takes you along hilltop routes and viewpoints that are difficult to reach independently, stopping for photos and short walks while your driver explains how the towns link across the peninsula. From Sorrento’s harbour, you can also take boats to Capri, Amalfi or Positano, each offering different ways to spend a day, whether that is visiting cliffside gardens, exploring a cathedral square or spending time by the water at one of the beach club.
