Beginning at 10:00 am from April to the end of October, our three-hour journey takes us through the heart of Massa Lubrense, offering a blend of scenic beauty, historical landmarks, and, of course, delicious food and drink.
Our first stop takes us to the charming Church of S.S. Maria Delle Grazie, home to a precious 16th-century Florentine altar. From there, we venture to the picturesque Deserto, site of a former Carmelite monastery, now the headquarters of the Benedictine Sisters of St. Paul. Here, we’ll soak in panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius while sampling some of the finest local products, including DOP Sorrento Peninsula olive oil, artisanal cheeses from the “Caseificio due Golfi,” fruit preserves, wine tastings, and the famous Limoncello at the Nastro D’Oro factory.
Continuing our journey, we wind our way through the charming villages and countryside of the Amalfi Coast, with stunning vistas of the sparkling waters and the iconic island of Capri in the distance. Our stops along the way include:
- Sant’Agata Sui Due Golfi: Offering panoramic views of the two gulfs that give the area its name, Sant’Agata Sui Due Golfi is steeped in ancient history, with evidence of Roman and Etruscan civilizations still visible today.
- Il Deserto: Home to the former Carmelite monastery and now a sanctuary for the Benedictine Sisters of St. Paul, Il Deserto boasts breathtaking views of the Naples and Salerno gulfs, as well as intriguing archaeological sites, including a necropolis and ancient amphora depicting a winged siren.
- Terrazza su Capri: A stunning viewpoint overlooking the island of Capri, Terrazza su Capri offers unparalleled vistas and serves as the starting point for excursions to the Promontorium Minervae.
- Ponte di Marciano: Perched 100 meters above sea level, the hamlet of Marciano offers stunning views of Capri and the surrounding coastline, with its name likely derived from a Roman family that once owned a villa in the area.
- Picco Sant’ Angelo: A rocky peak overlooking the Colli di Fontanelle in Sant’Agnello, Picco Sant’ Angelo offers a peaceful retreat and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
