Resort Information

Nestling in the Apennine Hills, Fiuggi's health-giving waters have made the town a favourite spa retreat for many years. Ideally situated between Rome and the Bay of Naples, the town has a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. It's the perfect place to relax and watch the world go by.

Itinerary

Day One

Fly to Rome and transfer to Fiuggi (approximately one hour).

Day Two

Today we journey to famous Sorrento, with its maze of alleyways crammed with shops, bars and restaurants, and its blue waters dotted with colourful pedalos and sailboats. From there we'll head to Pompeii. Buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D.79, excavations have gradually revealed the magnificent city's remains.

Day Three

Our optional excursion today is to Rome. Enjoy a tour of the ancient city, including fantastic views of the Colosseum and Forum, the great basilicas and the Baroque fountains. In the Vatican City, view the dome of St Peter's which looks over the vast Square, nearby is the Sistine Chapel home to Michelangelo's fabled frescoes.

Day Four

Rest in the resort today, or join our optional excursion to Capri. Enjoy the views from Villa San Michele in Anacapri; take a chair-lift ride to the summit of Solare (payable locally); and visit the main town to wander the Augustus Gardens or shop - or more likely window-shop - at the many exclusive designer stores.

Day Five

Spend this morning in Fiuggi, or join our optional excursion to Monte Cassino, famous for its Benedictine Abbey and site of one of 'great' battles of the Second World War. The majestic outline of the Abbey can be seen from miles around, and the views it offers are simply breathtaking.

In the town below the British war cemetery stands as a tribute to the 4500 British servicemen who lost their lives during the seige.

Day Six

Transfer back to Rome for check-in and your flight home.
