Ciao! We are flying into Rome late September, and out of Rome 17 days later. Here is what we are thinking so far: first 5 nights in Rome. Then we would take a train from Rome to Sorrento. 3 nights in Sorrento. Then take a private car with a stop and Pompeii (any suggestions here?) to Positano. 4 nights in Positano, (too many nights?). Then we are thinking of somehow getting up to Venice, (thoughts on best way from Positano to Venice?) spend two/three nights in Venice and then one/two final night(s) in Rome before heading home.
Any thoughts, suggestions, advice, guidance about any aspect of this would be greatly appreciated. Suggestions for hotels, activities and restaurants on the Amalfi coast, particularly Sorrento and Positano? I know we are thinking of spending at least one full day in Capri but otherwise have no clue what we should do besides eat great food and sip great wine. Grazie!!!
