Hi Darcy – Sorry I have not caught up w/you. Our trip to Italy was awesome and really appreciate all the insights you gave us. We enjoyed Capri and Positano (the coast in general) the most… we saw Sorrento, Pompeii, Amalfi and Ravello. We loved Ravello and all the restaurant recommendations were great. Speaking of restaurant recommendations: I lost my hard copy of the recommendations that you gave us. Would you be able to send us a soft copy. Just would like to have it just in case we go back in the future (which we will ). Jack “the driver” was great too… really liked him and appreciated him touring us around Sorrento and taking us to a little place to eat right on the water w/a table reserved for us. The “family restaurant” up on the hill in Positano was fabulous too! That was a special treat.
We loved Edode in Capri… very cool place and the chef was wonderful and the wait staff superb. It was our “fanciest” meal (better than Splendido in Portofino) and we would definitely go back again. All went smooth… we almost missed 3 or our flights. One b/c of a delay and the other 2 b/c they board way earlier than normal. But karma was on our side and we made them… thank God!! The only weird thing that happened w/our flights is they charged us “tax” to fly from Genoa to Naples and the “tax” was 140 Euro or about $200 which was the price of both of our tickets. YIKES! So just a heads up to folks on that as we were not prepared. They did not charge us tax to fly from Naples to Rome probably b/c it was part of our e-ticket w/Orbitz.
Villa Rosa was just fine to stay at. Next time we go to Capri, we’ll stay in the main Capri town. The service and views at Hotel Weber Ambassador were great, but a bit of a drive and wait to get places. We hiked almost the whole island of Capri… so tons of walking! Unfortunately the weather was only nice 1 day to get the see the Blue Grotto and that’s when we were hiking the Capri side… so we never got to go by boat to the grotto… but we walked from Anna Capri all the way there and down to the entrance of in right on the water. Also we took the chair lift to the top of Mt Solerno. Very cool. Anyway, we are adjusting back to “reality”. Thanks again for everything and we’ll be sure to continue to recommend your travel service to others… it was worth it!
