We commissioned Azzurra Travels for one of our most important employee incentive trips of the year. Victoria delivered on every request and came through on unplanned issues like lost baggage, airport strikes and last minute transportation issues. Frankie’s natural ability to make the most rigid person feel at ease was a crucial element to the trip – it is impossible not to have fun when Frankie is around! If you are a business or a corporate company wanting to deliver an organised, professionally orchestrated and high quality event but the emphasise should be on your staff or clients being relaxed, having fun and being grateful for a once in a life time experience on the Amalfi Coast… without doubt Azzurra Travels, Victoria and Frankie are really the only way to go.

Vacation Designer
Our passion in showcasing the very best of the Amalfi Coast and is at the very core of our business, however logistically and operationally things are most definitely not on par with how modern society functions (No Uber, for example). There are countless pitfalls that even the most savvy tourist can fall down; plus with the overwhelming incredible volume of hotels, apartments and villas to choose from, we take all of the guesswork away from you. Victoria has nearly 20 years experience working as an Executive Assistant for celebrities, entrepreneurs and the British aristocracy; thus is accustomed to complex travel arrangements. Crafting a meticulously planned vacation in Praiano, where every minute detail as been thought about, hones in all of Victoria’s skills: logistics, communication, organisation, budgeting, service, planning, hospitality and creativity.

We strive to give you the best vacation of your life and giving you peace of mind that every decision you make, with our guidance can make memories that last a lifetime.
Touring/Transfers
Getting the balance right of visiting the spine-tingling sights of a foreign land, but avoiding the masses can be an overwhelming task to tackle. With as much to see in land as there is to see on the sea; it is imperative that one takes into account the numerous potential pitfalls of touring the Amalfi Coast. With our unrivalled expertise of not only where to go but how to travel around the Amalfi Coast, we make like light of the complex choices and can offer sound advice of what destinations and attractions will give you the most cultural value, historical significance or just sheer pleasure. We do not offer package tours, every itinerary is curated around our clients’ personal interests and desires. Once we fully understand what experience you are after, then we can plan the perfect tour around your desires.
In terms of transfers from Naples and Rome, there are several options and there is no best way, it all depends on our itinerary, budget and where you are staying on the coast. You have a choice of a speedboat, taxi or even a helicopter. We firmly urge you not to take a standard taxi from the airport as their prices are notoriously high. We are in partnership with one of the most reliable and professional vendors in Italy, yet at competitive rates.
Boat Charters
Choosing the right company when selecting your boat can be a daunting task. It isn’t necessarily just about the type of vessel, but also one needs to consider the driver, the service on board and the level of formality you are most comfortable with. We pride ourselves of having exceptionally strong relations with most reputable service providers in and around the Amalfi Coast area and our ultimate quest is to ensure that we provide you with the desired experience that you are seeking. Wether it is Capri or Cetara, we’ll know exactly what option would suit you best. We can provide you with an array of options with trusted services that meet our own high expectations. we appreciate that some of our more descerning clients would prefer a more luxurious and deluxe experience. appreciate that some of our more descerning clients would prefer a more luxurious and deluxe experience, So for those that want the “Frankie Boatours” vibe, Frankie is also available to hop on board your chartered boat or yacht so you can have the best of both worlds!
Accommodation
As Praiano is a small village, we are able to advise you not only on the hotel or villa’s fantastic features, we can also assure you if the accommodation would truly meet your personal requirements. Location is key. “Steps, steps and more steps” is one way to describe this town which spans from the highest mountain to the rocky beaches, crumbling into the sea. Therefore before booking your accommodation we will cover all the elements that contribute to having a great stay: amenities, atmosphere, staff, furnishings, views – and any other questions you may have! The problem of choosing the perfect accommodation on the Amalfi Coast can be the misleading location that is stipulated on the website “10 minute walk to the town centre” is different from the town centre. Stairs are perhaps one of the most overlooked things on the coast; google maps is not a true representation of distance. If you are OK being on the outskirts, be prepared for very limited external services available and (very) expensive taxi rides. If you allow us to handle your booking, we can eliminate mass conustion and take the guess work out of choosing the perfect accommodation option – for you!
Concierge
This service is for people that want to feel safe and secure that there is someone personally dedicated to your own wants and needs. Our local, trusted contacts are strengthened by personally knowing the proprietors of numerous well known establishments, services, companies and businesses; accumulating into a network of local professionals with years of experience in exceeding our guests’ expectations. In short we strive to fulfil every request, no matter how challenging.
The coast works well if you book and plan way in advance, it”s vital that nothing is left to chance and if something does fall outside your control, you have a backup that can get you out of the situation. Azzurra Travels can organise your transfers, liaise with your accommodation and service providers on your behalf and generally eliminate all the stress – foreseen and unseen – giving you peace of mind so you can concentrate on soaking up the sun, listening to the shore lapping and indulging in la dolce vita.
