Start in Massa Lubrense along the Sorrento Peninsula
With picture postcard pastel-hued villages, iconic views across to Capri and designer shopping in Positano, it is not surprising that a holiday along the Amalfi Coast finds its way on to so many holiday wish-lists. Wander between pocket-sized fishing towns and spectacular gardens with a view or sit and watch the world go by in the local piazza.
The Relais Blu clings to the cliffs of the Sorrento peninsula with spectacular views of Capri island from the pool and sun terrace. All rooms are decorated in a contemporary and very unique style and are sea-facing with floor-to-ceiling windows to let in that swoon-inducing ocean panorama.
and make tracks for the Cilento Coast
Pick up your car hire from Sorrento or have it delivered to the hotel and head south to Pisciotta in the heart of the Cilento Park.
Medieval Pisciotta has a hilltop location with breathtaking sea views. Below the town is the beach of Marina di Pisciotta, and beyond that a seemingly infinite choice of 100km of sandy beaches and hidden coves.
The Unesco Cilento National Park is Italy's second largest, offering a huge range of historical, cultural and natural interest.
The Hotel Marulivo, formerly a 13 century convent, has been stylishly refurbished. Linger over breakfast or drinks on the hotel's spectacular panoramic terrace for truly exceptional views.

Just returned from a fab trip to Italy - all organised by Antonio. His time... and effort to get what was just right for us was amazing.. he had a lot to put up with! We have used Expertoitaly before and will do again.
We visited Ischia and Naples. Both very different and wonderful. Ischia is perfect for a good rest (visits to the Giardini La Mortella and the Ravino Gardens are a must). The Gardens & Villas Resort is a beautiful setting, very private, calm with amazing staff. Also the little town of Lacco Ameno has some really nice restaurants. Naples was very HOT! but we still managed to spend 7 hours walking about just soaking up the atmosphere and visiting some of the fantastic historic sights. Visit to the underground roman town is well worth it - it is mind boggling to think it was built thousands of years ago.read more

This is the third occasion that Antonio has organised an Italian holiday for... me. As it was a Birthday celebration involving a party of 10, the arrangements were complex, involving a villa, guides and attendance at the Palio on July 2nd.
Without exception everything went exactly as planned. The recommended villa on the Montestigliano Estate, south west of Siena, was wonderful. Our guide made sure we had a full understanding of the history and culture of the Palio which meant that, with a spectacular view over the Campo from the apartment booked by Antonio, we were able to appreciate the event that much more.
We shall certainly be going back to Italy with Expertoitaly.read more

Antonio with his meticulous planning and caring service has been solely... responsible for the best Italian holidays we have had. His ability to offer excellent hotel accommodation which provides for every need and requirement is second to none . Hotels that are not main stream , that provide high quality of service in excellent locations are one of Antonio’s strength. It’s great to have a provider that know and understands his market.

Have just completed another 10 day... holiday arranged by Antonio at Expert to Italy. We went with Antonio's suggestion and spent 2 days at Matera and then the remainder in Pisciotta in the Cilento. Matera was amazing and felt completely different to anywhere else we have been in Italy. We loved Pisciotta and the hotel was wonderful with lovely owners who were great at suggesting things to do. We visited a buffalo farm, a vinyard and tooks boats to isolated coves with lovely clear water.
All arrangements were absolutely faultless. We would never have found such lovely places without Antonio!

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday suggested no arranged by ExpertTo Italy. Once again the organisation by Antonio was flawless and everything worked perfectly. We spent 5 nights by lake Maggiore and 3 in Cogne in the Italian Alps. Both hotels and locations were fantastic - particularly the Bellvue in Cogne. Please see trip advisor if interested in the hotels as I will give a more specific review there - I'm not a fanatic reviewer but both really deserve it.
We have used this company for the past 5 years and Antonio seems to have a real gift for finding fantastic hotels and matching locations to his clients. I would not usually put the level of trust in anyone to arrange holidays for me that I have with Antonio but he has delivered every time and I can unreservedly recommend his services.
Italy is a beautiful country with huge variety - if you describe what you like to Antonio and let him make suggestions then you will not be disappointed.
Very definitely 5 stars from me.
So - Antonio and team, please keep it up!
