On this fabulous holiday you'll stay in the village of Minori and spend a week exploring the delights of the Amalfi Coast.

There's an opportunity to learn how the area's famous liqueur limoncello is made, followed of course by a tasting in Sorrento. Next, you'll admire picture-postcard scenery as you drive to a winery in the Amalfi Hills and try some locally produced wines alongside a lunch of cheese and salami. You'll discover the exceptional archaeological site of Pompeii, the Roman town frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and of course; a trip to the Amalfi wouldn't be complete without setting sail for the enchanting Capri, a favoured spot of the international jet set from the 1950s to today.
