Day 3: Amalfi Coast drive and an excursion to Ravello
Drive along the Amalfi Coast, one of Europe's most dramatic shorelines. See the brightly colored houses set on towering cliffs above the sea, and the houses in the town of Amalfi built between the 10th and 13th centuries; visit the Cathedral of St. Andrew. Then it's on to Ravello to visit Villa Rufolo, the former residence of several popes, offering perhaps the best view on the coast. Lunch today is at a family-owned restaurant – a favorite of locals and celebrities alike – where you'll get a real taste of Italy with delightful homemade dishes.

There, board a jet boat that will whisk you to the Isle of Capri, affording wonderful views of its jagged coastline, studded with grottoes. Upon arrival, you'll be picked up by convertible taxi -- your transportation for the next two days -- and taken to the Grand Hotel Quisisana; it is one of the most celebrated hotels in Europe, set on the exclusive "Via Camerelle" in the heart of Capri, a few steps from the Piazzetta.

Day 5: Isle of Capri in a convertible car
You'll really feel like a jetsetter today when you explore the history and natural attractions of the Isle of Capri in a convertible car. Visit the town of Anacapri, then beautiful Villa San Michele, built in the late 19th century atop Roman palace ruins. Get a noted professor's perspectives on contemporary Italian society during a lecture at a private villa overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Then spend the rest of the day as you please on Capri -- enjoying the pleasures of a less-crowded island after the day-trippers have departed.
Overnight: Grand Hotel Quisisana, Capri, Italy
