Nature
The Amalfi coast road through Ravello, Capri's Blue Grotto, and the crater rim at Mount Vesuvius.
A single-base Sorrento trip built for a group of eight, with Pompeii and Vesuvius on the way out.
Not every Italy trip needs to move from city to city. For a larger group, a single base on the Amalfi coast ; with day trips out to Positano, Capri and Ravello ; keeps logistics simple and still covers the region's best-known stops.
This is one of the Italy itineraries we've planned for a group of friends before ; 7 nights, 8 days based in Sorrento and Naples, built for 8 adults travelling together. It's shared here to show what a group trip through Italy could look like. A version built around your own group's size, pace and dates would look a little different ; and that's the point.
Why This Trip
Staying put in Sorrento for five nights and using it as a base cuts down on the packing-and-moving friction that eight people travelling together usually run into ; everyone reconvenes at the same hotel each evening.
Late January keeps the Amalfi coast and Capri markedly quieter than in summer, with hotel rates to match, though it's worth noting several days here are intentionally left open for the group to split off as they like.
If you asked us: build in the Pompeii stop on the transfer day to Naples rather than as a separate excursion ; it's a natural stopover on the drive and saves a day.
