WEDDINGS IN SORRENTO
Civil ceremonies can only be celebrated on town hall property. Most of the buildings are old and rather beautiful and some have adjoining panoramic terraces.

The ceremony takes approx.30 minutes and is celebrated in Italian so an interpreter will be required to translate for both the wedding and the declaration of intent to marry. After the ceremony you will be given a multi-lingual certificate which is valid on your return home.

Not all cities in Italy will allow religious weddings for non residents, we can offer religious weddings in Positano and Amalfi with English speaking priests. The Italian law also requires a civil ceremony that can take place after the religious service or in your home town before travelling to Italy.

We have on hand a team of experts who will be able to arrange even your smallest requirements to make your special day so special it will stay in your memory for many years to come. Some of the services we offer:

• Flowers, transport, hairdresser, photo and video, favors, music, beauticians, and receptions to suit all…
• Also included in your initial package is our help regarding all the paperwork confirming dates and times of the ceremony.
• Dealing on your behalf with the legal documents at both the town hall and embassy and also religious authorities when necessary.

CAPRI
Undeniably one of the world’s most beautiful islands and an internationally famous tourist resort. Summer retreat for the jet set, the island is awash with designer boutiques and picturepostcard views wherever you turn: lush Mediterranean vegetation with purple bougainvillea climbing over the whitewashed villas and the celebrated “Faraglioni” limestone stacks.

Take a trip to the famous blue grotto, visit Villa San Michele in Anacapri, once the home of Axel Munthe, or stroll around the Giardini di Augusto (Gardens of Augustus) and the ruins of Villa Jovis, one-time residence of the emperor Tiberius.

CRUISE
A great opportunity to spend a relaxing day out enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Amalfi Coast or the island of Capri. During the cruise, on board a comfortable yacht equipped with sun terrace and showers, you will have the chance to stop at Capri for a swim in the island’s impossibly azure sea or visit two of the most picturesque towns on the coast, Amalfi and Positano.

POSITANO
One of Italy’s most well known and picturesque tourist towns, Positano is also famous for its highly original fashion clothing in distinctive fabrics sold in many of the charming boutiques. You need to visit the little town on foot to appreciate its pretty narrow streets, pastel-coloured houses and endless steps carved out of the rock

AMALFI
The Amalfi Drive is one of the most spectacular coastal roads in Europe and passes through some absolutely stunning scenery. Starting from Sorrento, it winds its way along the cliff edge offering breathtaking views until it reaches Amalfi, one of the four Maritime Republics and birthplace of Flavio Gioia, inventor of the magnetic compass. In the centre of Amalfi stands the imposing IX-century cathedral with its famous striking façade decorated with gilded XIX-century mosaics.

POMPEII
Pompeii is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Every year millions of visitors come to see the spectacular ruins of this ancient Roman town destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79.

Excavation work only began in the XVIII century but since then has gradually brought to light the splendours of an ancient civilization, including magnificent frescoed villas and an imposing amphitheatre.

HERCULANEUM 
Herculaneum, said to have been founded by Hercules, is a remarkably well-preserved Roman town. Built some time between 80 and 70 B.C., it was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79.

Unlike Pompeii, however, Herculaneum was not buried by lava and lapilli (burning fragments of pumice stone), but was submerged by thick mud which then solidified into soft tufa rock, thus preserving the many frescoes and artefacts you can still admire today.

The town was discovered in 1709 and excavation work since has brought to light sumptuous villas, baths, theatres and even a villa thought to have belonged to the father-in-law of Julius Caesar.

THE PATH OF THE GODS
Among the “high” routes of the Amalfi coast, this hike moves from Nocelle to “Colle Serra” (and back) and is by far the most famous hike you can do. The reason for this fame (which is recognized all over the world) is the constant ups and downs, the fantastic sheer vertical drops and lands cultivated in terraces.

You arrive at the final destination and the highlight of this hike, Punta Campanella, which is united, under the sea, to the stunning island of Capri. From the spectacular belvedere looking to the west we see siren archipelagos and swirling shapes.

There is much to explain here regarding the colours of the Mediterranean lands, known as our “Path of the Gods”. Botany: mediterranean scrub, heather, euphorbia, true myrtle, orchids in spring,..Natural landscape interests: view on the whole peninsola, view on Capri and Amalfi coast.

NAPLES
A unique and very special city, famous the world over for its warm and friendly people. Naples is one of the oldest cities in Europe, founded in the VII century B.C. by the Greeks and later conquered by the Romans.

From the XI century onwards it was ruled by the Normans, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese, Spanish and the Bourbons. Each of these foreign dominations left their mark on the city’s art, architecture and culinary traditions. You can feel the history most of all in the old town, a Unesco World Heritage Site and a treasure trove of unparalleled wonders.

MT. VESUVIUS
Mt Vesuvius is one of Naples’ most well-known landmarks, and one of the largest active volcanoes in the world. The mighty mountain standing forebodingly over the city and the bay is accessible by bus up to a height of 1,000 m. From there on the visit continues on foot with licensed guides to the edge of the crater.
