Why this holiday works
A direct journey between two cities with very different characters
In Rome, explore imperial sites and Baroque squares before dinner in Monti. In Naples, discover ancient streets, grand theatres and neighbourhood food, with the bay close to your hotel.
Couples and curious city travellers
Well suited to travellers who enjoy walking, museums, architecture and food, and who want two substantial city stays rather than a rapid sequence of stops.
Ancient Rome and Naples on the bay
Enjoy Rome’s Forum, fountains and neighbourhood restaurants, then discover Naples’ Bourbon palaces, historic centre and waterfront views towards Vesuvius.
Three nights first, four nights second
Spend three nights getting to know Rome, followed by four in Naples for the historic centre and waterfront. There is also time for an archaeological day at Pompeii or Herculaneum if you would like one.
Rail from city centre to city centre
A reserved high-speed train links Roma Termini and Napoli Centrale. Private transfers handle the airports and the final movement from the station to the waterfront hotel.
Where you stay
Two hotels selected to make each city easier to experience
Stay close to ancient Rome and Monti’s restaurants, then wake beside the Bay of Naples. Both hotels give you welcoming places to return to after days of walking and discovery.
