Just got back from Italy đŽđš celebrating my dadâs 60th.
Amazing food, great spots, and a proper mix of exploring and being out and about (definitely not a sit-by-the-pool kind of holiday).
We based ourselves in Sorrento and travelled out from there, which worked really well. Iâd always recommend having a base unless youâre planning to move around every few nights.
Capri is 100% worth doing, but more as a day trip unless youâre staying somewhere like Jumeirah. Completely different vibe, but easy enough to get over and back.
Positano was great as well, but again somewhere to dip into rather than rely on as your main base unless you pick it right.
Itâs also worth knowing thereâs a lot of walking. Hills, steps, heat⌠it adds up. Definitely something to think about. Having family there for extra hands made a big difference.
Perfect holiday for the right person if youâre into exploring, scenery, and good food.
If youâre planning something similar, feel free to drop me a message happy to share what worked well for us âď¸
