Your sailing trip
Jump on board on our Lemon Cruise and learn Italian language in the company of the sun, the sea and a true Italian!
This is not the usual Italian course.
A minimum or basic knowledge of the Italian language is required. An orientation language test will be sent at the time of booking.
During the whole holiday you will be in the company of Vincenzo, your teacher: before, during and after your lessons. Each day we will learn something new while shopping, cooking pasta and drinking wine. We will be engaged with the Italian language, history, tradition and culture.
One of the iconic symbols of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, the lemons produced in this beautiful part of Campania have been prized for centuries for their intense flavor and healthy properties. The production of lemons on the steep and rocky cliff sides along the Sorrento Peninsula is anything but easy.
Stretching along the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula the Amalfi coast is one of the Mediterranean most breathtaking coastline. Declared one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites for its undisputed beauty and the uniqueness of its natural landscape, the Amalfi Coast is characterised by the combination between mountain and sea.
The mountain plunges steeply into a sea, creating charming coves, deep fjords, cliffs, caverns, bays, natural arches and small pebble beaches.
The typical houses, painted in warm pastel colors, follow the natural slope of the foothills, creating very picturesque “postcard“ villages.
A highlight of the Amalfi coast vacation is a visit to Capri. The glamorous seaside getaway is an enchanting and picturesque island made of limestone rock on which herds of goat once used to roam (giving the name to the island).
NOTE: THIS ITINERARY COULD BE SUBJECT TO VARIATIONS DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS.
