THE AUTHENTIC CAMPANIA EXPERIENCE
7 Days / 6 Nights — Southern Italy
Discover the Italy You Never Knew Existed.
Seven unforgettable days exploring the beauty, history, flavors, and traditions of Southern Italy.
Imagine discovering ancient Roman cities, wandering through the vibrant streets of Naples, admiring the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, and enjoying authentic Italian cuisine in the company of someone who calls this extraordinary region home.
Welcome to The Authentic Campania Experience, a signature journey created by Ciao Vino Touring Company.
Personally hosted by Chef Antonio, this thoughtfully designed seven-day experience invites you to discover Southern Italy beyond the traditional tourist routes.
With the beautiful coastal town of Bacoli as your home base, you will explore some of Campania's most remarkable destinations while enjoying genuine Italian hospitality, regional cuisine, local wines, and meaningful cultural experiences.
One beautiful home base. Seven extraordinary days. Memories to last a lifetime.
YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Welcome to Bacoli, Italy.
Your journey begins in Bacoli, a beautiful Mediterranean coastal town located in the historic Campi Flegrei region, just west of Naples.
Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, ancient Roman history, charming seaside communities, and exceptional culinary traditions, Bacoli offers a wonderful introduction to authentic Southern Italian life.
Unlike traditional tours that require travelers to change hotels every few days, our experience is designed around six nights in the same carefully selected accommodations.
Unpack once, settle in, and enjoy discovering something extraordinary every day.
From Bacoli, we will explore Naples, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and the remarkable archaeological and cultural treasures of the Campi Flegrei.
And each evening, we will return to the welcoming atmosphere of our Mediterranean home base.
Discover the region. Experience the culture. Feel at home.
