My husband and I will be visiting Italy for two weeks this November. For the second half of the trip, we were planning to stay in Rome for 4 nights, then go to Sorrento for 2 nights, and back to Rome before our departure the following morning.
Since we're going in early November, I'm wondering if that itinerary makes sense, or if it would be better to do a day trip(s) to Amalfi and Pompeii, and spend more time in Rome and have less hotel transfers. With that scenario, we would stay in Rome for a full 7 nights, and do one or two day trips to visit the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii.
So I would like advice- do you think it's better to keep the itinerary as planned, or minimize our transfers and do a day trip or two from Rome to Amalfi and/or Pompeii? How much time should we allot for Amalfi and Pompeii in November since it's the off season? I know the tours there from Rome are long, but I'm not sure what makes the most sense. We definitely want to see Pompeii and at least a little of the Amalfi Coast, but it's not the primary focus of our trip.
