My 17 year old daughter and I are considering a week in Italy during a longer trip to Europe at the end of March. We would fly in from and return to the UK, probably with a low cost airline but not necessarily from the same airport in Italy.
We were in Venice 9 years ago and Bologna last year. We were in Rome, Sora and a day trip to Pompei and Sorrento when she was a baby. I would go back to Bologna in a minute but maybe we should try somewhere new!
We like walking/hiking, getting a feel for the place, vistas and gelato. I also like art galleries, historical places, museums. She likes going back to the accommodation and “chilling”.
We prefer a place with cooking facilities but can punctuate that with hotel stays as needed. It suits my diet/ health issues to not eat out every meal. To be honest, putting together a meal is meditative for me and lets my daughter do her own thing. One meal and/or aperativo out each day is plenty for us.
I’m leaning towards Naples, Pompeii/ Herculaneum, Amalfi Coast, further south and Capri. I’m happy to get a car for a few days. I get that done seasonal places may not yet be open. I am hoping to keep accommodation prices low.
Any suggestions for itineraries for that time of year?
