An Unforgettable Trip to Italy!
An Unforgettable Trip to Italy!
Our trip to Italy was everything I hoped for and more! The Amalfi Coast is absolutely spectacular, and Christian did a wonderful job guiding us to the perfect locations and hotels. Every hotel was amazing, and we were fortunate enough to receive upgrades at each one! I especially appreciated Christian letting the hotels know that this was a special birthday celebration and making sure all my food preferences were accommodated.
And the food! I think I could have swum home after enjoying all the fresh seafood delicacies I devoured. In fact, a couple of times I even asked for octopus or squid for dessert! 😂
Our driver, Salvatore, and his wife were wonderful—always punctual, helpful, and a pleasure to be around. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, especially Antonio at the front desk of Le Sirenuse. Our boat excursions were spectacular, and the lunches along the way were so much fun.
We loved our hotel locations, and Christian truly steered us in the right direction! The shuttle service at J.K. Place was especially convenient for getting into town. Shopping in Capri was a highlight, and the restaurant Christian recommended was perfect for our rendezvous with friends from California.
Our Pompeii tour guide was excellent, taking us off the beaten path and giving us a memorable experience. Afterward, Salvatore was waiting to take us for pizza before we checked into the Grand Hotel Vesuvio. That hotel was adequate for a one-night stay before our departure, although it wouldn’t be my first choice for a return visit. Getting through Naples Airport was quite an experience, too, so I was very glad we allowed three hours before departure!
A couple of honest notes for future travelers: I wouldn’t recommend the massages at Caruso or J.K. Place, although the spa at Le Sirenuse was lovely, and the massages there were excellent—definitely worthwhile. I was also underwhelmed by Zass, despite its Michelin star. Fortunately, all our other dining experiences were wonderful!
As I’ve told Christian, my favorite kind of day is hiking boots in the morning and heels by night! He understood exactly the kind of experience I wanted and helped make this trip such a special celebration.
Thank you, Christian, for your thoughtful planning, wonderful recommendations, and attention to all the little details that made such a difference. We came home with beautiful memories, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christian to anyone planning a special trip to Italy!
