The process of using KimKim to find Eirini at Storywalking agency was incredibly easy and seamless. Eirini's knowledge of Italy to book drivers for day trips to Tuscany with a wine tasting and lunch that was outstanding, the Almafi coast car tours to Almafi & Revello along with a seperate day of hiking the path of the gods with a guide (enzo) who grew up in Positano and the best was the boat trip to Capri whit a crew that was fantastic! She picked 2 hotels for us that met our needs - in the center of the towns, clean, AC and king sized beds. While the Hotel Cavour Florence was a good, it paled in comparison to her pick for us in Positano with the Hotel Villa Gabrisa. HVG was bright clean, with fantasic view and staff - can't recommend this hotel enough! We finshed our trip in Rome with a private walking tour with Gioia whose knoweldge of the city's history made these "old building" really come alive with their rich history coming out in her descriptions.
Hotel Review
Fantastic location, no stairs to get to the hotel! If you haven't been to Positano before, this is a huge advantage for this property. The staff is awesome, food is excellent and the rooms are big, bright and clean.
Activity Reviews
This hike was breathtaking! Smartest thing we did was to get car service to begin in Bomerano and enjoy the views walking toward Nicolle (aka Positano) . Enzo our guide was a great historian sharing the rich history of the path, area and how people lived for hundreds of years. Can't recommend him enough for personality, creating a great pace which made the hike very enjoyable. Having a car at the end to avoid the long walk down was critical to not ruining our knee's for the rest of the trip.
Having a small group ride to Capri was the way to go. Getitng a chance to see the whole island from the water so you could see the various grotto's was worth the time and money. With 12 people abord, made it a good size to hear the information and enjoy some space on the boat. The crew made the trip fun, serving drinks before and after time on Capri and even supplied a great caprese sandwich which saved a lot of money for lunch on the island!
The food and wine were outstanding!! we had a 5 bottle tasting paired with 4 courses of food - come hungry b/c the food is outstanding and the wine even better. They served a 30 year old balsamic vinegar that was life changing and makes all regular balsamic pale in comparison. A great range of wines with their lone white and multiple reds - made for a great afternoon.
It gives me even greater joy to know that your experience has been easy and seamless. It is very important for us to provide services that run smoothly, so that you can only focus on having a great time.
