TO DO
POMPÉI
We landed in Naples and I had booked a charming hotel in the country side: Bosco dei Medici. Not expensive but charming with horses and flowers around. The restaurant was quite good and we were fresh in the morning to visit the ruins. I won’t comment to much about Pompéi because it’s so famous that I cannot add much to what has already been written. One word IMMENSE and I recommend watching the movie « The last days of Pompéi (1953) » and a film from Netflix called « Pompéi ». If not I would say that having one full day there is not really enough.
We had dîner at the grand hotel called HABITA and it was nice. The day after we took the road to Ravello. It was nice. Ravello is full of stairs, so be ready to climb in order to visit. I recommend to have a drink at the Caruso Hotel and for dîner to go to Villa Maria. I don’t recommend any hotel because I found them very expensive even for the high season.
Leaving Ravello we went first to the left to see the small towns near the sea : Maiori, Vietri sur Mare (Had a lunch there Medium !) After that we reached Amalfi which was quite bumpy because there was a party and at night fireworks.
It was spectacular and beautiful. I recommend our hotel Villa Felice which has a nice view a charming welcome and a good restaurant ? The day after we enjoyed watching a competition of rowing between 4 Italian cities which takes place once a year. Genova won this year!
We left to Positano which was disappointing because of the crowd of tourists. They walk in a herd ! They go down and then they go up and they leave. Restaurants are nice and quite empty and people are rather friendly despite that over tourism!
I stayed at Positano Art Hotel which was well located. Outside Positano you have the San Pietro which is much more luxurious.
Last stop was SORRENTO
Not so interesting even if hotel Vittoria is nice and well located and we could watch the Rolex cup with all the vessels in blue . Except for Positano most of the rich tourists are American.
On my way back I had lunch in Naples at La Scialuppa at the port on the other side of hotel Exelscior which I always liked. Lunch was ok.
We travelled with Easy Jet back to Catania in Sicily . Easy Jet was not that bad !
It was a nice but tiring journey full of beautiful views to remember
