Amalfi Coast, Matera, and Lecce.
All adults welcome; solo travelers, friends, family or couples.
Up to 14 guests.
Glam coastal villages, epic journey, on/off the beaten path.
This tour is a coast-to-coast journey across three unique Italian regions.
Experience the vibrant energy of the Amalfi Coast, explore the exquisitely preserved Unesco Site of Matera in Basilicata, and wander the laid back streets of Lecce in Puglia, often called the Florence of the South.
We take care of all the details, so you can enjoy Southern Italy with the luxury of a bilingual guide and a private driver.
From the moment you step off the plane, you’re connected.
Perfect for those who seek fun, effortless, insider travel — elevated.
There’s a huge amount of variety on this trip that traverses Italy from the west coast to the east coast. You’ll see Paleolithic-era cities, Greek ruins, and Spanish palaces. The South has it all, but Southern Italy has long been neglected in favor of hot spots like Rome, Florence, and Venice, which is precisely the hook! This trip has been artfully arranged with a mix of seaside, countryside, and less traveled towns and cities. It’s definitely a route you would have a hard time journeying solo without speaking Italian. Your private hosts and drivers will lead you through the backroads, the customs, and the quirks of this enchanting land.
Southern Italy has big spicy energy, and you’re here for it!
Vibrant, colorful plates serving all the pasta you never knew you needed to eat. Long strings of chilis dangling from the market vendors’ stalls. Giant, juicy lemons hanging off the trees. Grand, elegant hotels built along the cliffs. Spacious yachts. Unforgettable views. Stretching expanses of olive groves. Even the smallest details in every moment here create the most impactful and meaningful memories. It’s in the way you feel when you’re part of the scene in Positano. It’s in the way you feel walking through the quiet city of Matera by moonlight. It’s in the way your shoulders sink at the long table filled with laughter and lunch at a Puglian masseria.
Travel the Amalfi Coast, Matera, and Lecce.
A unique itinerary that travels 3 regions; Campania, Basilicata, and Puglia; visiting the towns of Positano, Matera, Ostuni, Lecce, and Alberobello. Creating an itinerary this diverse, calculated, and balanced requires deep knowledge of the places we visit. You don’t need to worry about logistics — just enjoy the journey! What has taken decades to learn will be shared with you in a generous week.
We know the best people — and now you do too! Even if you don’t need to master cooking, you’ll love tossing dough, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying drinks. Guests have a blast cooking, eating, and dancing (no worries, we won’t film you!).
Capture memories and enjoy a drink as you glide past the Amalfi Coast. Swim or float in the clear waters beneath the cliffs and take plenty of photos. This memorable experience is a highlight for many guests.
Travel is richer when you know the right people — and we do! While many can visit restaurants, our connections ensure you experience the best ones and enjoy select meals at our friends’ homes and estates.
Our small passenger vans navigate where big buses can’t. With our drivers, guides, and unique routes, we maximize your experience without wasting time. This trip includes private transfers from Naples to the Amalfi Coast and from Lecce to Brindisi airport making everything seamless for you!
Our driver will collect you from your Naples hotel (or from the airport) and transfer you to our Amalfi coast hotel. The ride along the coast is famous for its stunning views, so you’ll quickly shift into “vacation mode,” or as we like to call it, the Dolce Zone — that special state of mind that Italian Fix guests get to experience. Tonight, we’ll celebrate life with a beautiful meal. You’ll end the night on a high, buzzing from the new friends you’ve met (and possibly the local limoncello).
Today, you can treat yourself to a super relaxing three-cappuccino morning and recharge in the Italian sunshine. Your guide has a beautiful Positano walking excursion planned for you in the late morning — then a nice lunch. Free time in the afternoon to wander, swim or relax. We’ll gather for drinks at sunset, followed by dinner.
Our captain will show us the Amalfi Coast the way it was meant to be seen — from the water. Free time to swim or just enjoy the scenery and the cocktails. We’ll have lunch together on land — before relaxing back at home. The night is free for you to do as you wish.
Today, we begin our journey into the heart of Italy, where we’ll spend a few nights in the country’s oldest city. Many people simply don’t venture into this part of the country. In fact, you’ll see very few foreign travelers in this area. But before we explore roads blazed by the Greeks in 450 BC, we’ll go and eat some cheese. Because, well, #italy! Then we’ll make our way to one of the most otherworldly places you’ll ever see — Matera. It’s a Unesco World Heritage Site, and in 2019 was named the European Capital of Culture. Enjoy a walking tour of Matera and a free choice for dinner.
Wander through Matera’s tangle of winding streets or sit at a sidewalk café with a cappuccino and watch the world go by. Whatever you do, take in every last drop of this ancient place. In the evening we’ll explore the creamy stone laneways of Matera on an Ape Calessino tour followed by dinner in our fave spot.
We continue our Southern Italy journey by heading into the heart of Puglia, Italy’s up-and-coming destination. Once the poorest part of the country, this region is now in every magazine, blog, and guidebook — come before it’s been bought up by the Clooneys! We’ll visit the town of Alberobello, the epicenter of trulli houses. Wine tasting is at a friend’s place. Check in at our hotel in Lecce and then enjoy some free time.
You’ll soak in all the beauty that is Lecce — the Florence of the South — at the very tip of Italy’s heel. This city is baroque extravagance at its best, full of spiraled columns and gargoyles. We’ll explore the countryside and some of the smaller Puglian villages, like Ostuni, a crown of white buildings spread out over three hills overlooking the Adriatic. Lunch is at a countryside masseria. Free evening in Lecce to enjoy the buzz (of the city and maybe the Spritz).
This is our last day in Italy together so we’ve curated a beautiful private event for you at a local studio. We’ll make a meal together, drink some Puglian wines, and connect over food and music. Since you’re pretty much Italian now, making food, listening to live music, and tossing your head back as you dance the pizzica (a popular Italian folk dance from this area) is totally normal! Don’t worry, what happens in Italy stays in Italy… but who’s kidding who? You’re going to be bursting to share every detail of the time you had in some of the most beautiful places on earth.
This is your departure and check-out day. We’ll provide you with a private transfer to Brindisi airport for your flight, or help you with another transfer if you’re staying longer. Whatever your plans, our team will have everything handled so you can confidently get to where you need to go.

This is the most ambitious trip in our calendar— it’s so varied in scope, locations and diversity of experiences. It’s perfect for those souls who want it all. I’m one of those, and this trip suits me perfectly.
I love the luxe vibe on the Amalfi coast — where things are extra. The fancy part of me enjoys the buzz of the aperitivo-sipping, people-watching scene, complete with shopping and yachts. But I wouldn’t want to spend a week there—it’s too busy and I’m too picky. My soul craves the nuanced layers of the Italian lifestyle, which is in the lesser known areas we’re headed to.
That’s why I love Puglia. When I started traveling to Puglia I just knew I would be spending a lot more time there. My body feels peaceful in Puglia, because it is very peaceful — it’s also very “insider” — the traditions, the landscape, the laid-back pace is exactly what the deep south of Italy is.
My husband is from the north of Italy and he cried when he got to Matera. An Italian shedding a tear over old buildings?!? It actually wasn’t the architecture that choked him up. It was the energy of the place — it was unlike anywhere else we’ve ever been to in Italy. Matera is the oldest continually inhabited city in Europe — people have lived there since Paleolithic times.
Some people prefer the “big three” which are Rome, Venice and Florence. I’ll take the villages, the countryside, and the barefoot lunches at the masseria any day. If you can relate, this trip is a good choice for you.

We have so many returning guests because they know they can trust us.
Return guests sometimes book the exact same trip to repeat the magic.
Our guests protect their investment by purchasing insurance.
Some of our guests are going through big life transitions; others are celebrating milestones.
Many guests meet lifelong friends on the trip and they return on future trips, together.
You can buy insurance, or use the insurance you already own (through work coverage etc.) Insurance protects you should you fall ill before you travel, or an immediate family member does and you do not want to leave the country. Policies vary and you can shop around.
We’re a boutique travel company focused on unique itineraries that focus on the lifestyle of the areas we visit. We’re intentional about sustainable travel experiences that support local economies. Although we love the finer things in life (we even train our hosts with some of the same service tenets as the Ritz Carlton), we want to do things differently.
We want our trips to be more open to a diverse set of travelers than a typical luxury tour operator that only serves the 1%. We like to think of our experiences as a beautiful balance of activities and cadence that lets you savor your vacation — we do mix things up but we do not run you off your feet.
We might offer a stunning multi-course meal with wine pairings at an award-winning restaurant one evening, and the next day, we’ll eat a panino at the market. Because we know you’re not traveling to Europe for a Disneyland-esque experience. You’re here to experience the lifestyle, which has nothing to do with thread count (although we do love that crisply ironed European bedding).
We offer our guests a beautifully layered and nuanced experience that uplifts and gets you into the heart of the places you’re traveling.
Transformative experiences, connections, belonging, and belly laughter are the ultimate luxuries.
We have a combination of solo travelers, people traveling with friends, and people traveling with partners/spouses on all of our tours. We also have a mix of “co-ed” and “women only” dates across our schedule so you can pick the right trip for you.
First off, we speak the language! We also understand the context, the customs, and the community of every location we visit. In Italy, it’s not what you know — it’s who you know. And we know people.
We’re a small company that serves under 150 people per year. You can read more about us here. By comparison, most tour operators are massive — some serve about 30,000 people a year! That’s not who we are — we’re female-owned and getting to know each of our travelers by name is super important! We truly want to get to know you.
Coming with us is like having a backstage pass. If you travel without us, you’re just one in a million foreigners waiting in lines and trying to get service. No connections or language fluency makes you the odd one out.
Our travel style allows you to be among friends and have access to things you couldn’t find on your own. No big-box concept of tourism around here. At Italian Fix, we’re mindful about keeping traditions alive and supporting local economies.
One of the most beautiful things about our trips is that they attract a lot of different kinds of people — and we’re proud of that. Our fun, safe, and let-your-hair-down energy draws the right kind of guests from around the world with different backgrounds — because wanting to live your dolce vita is something that transcends any zip code or age range.
We have guests who return to Italian Fix year after year. From the person who enjoys traveling solo to the besties who want to take one more trip of a lifetime, they all want to live the Italian lifestyle in a carefree, fun-filled, and relaxing week. They trust Italian Fix to confidently handle all the details so the only thing they’re responsible for is embracing the art of living — Italian style.
Our carefully crafted itineraries have been perfected over years of hosting successful trips, so they play out like a symphony — with cadence, timing, and rhythm. All of our trips have up-time and down-time. The introverts who need quiet to recharge can get it, and the extroverts who derive energy from new connections can thrive too. One of our mottos is “Hey, it’s your holiday — opt out of any days you like.” We have lots to see, eat, do, and explore whenever you wish to join in. Just put on your comfy shoes and andiamo!
Many of our guests are in the same boat. We have people who are going through life changes and more traveling is calling them. You’ll fit right in (and life is better with people who get you and you could potentially travel with in the future!).
Italian Fix is a boutique travel company specializing in small groups and beautiful itineraries, all handled for you. Have connections the minute you step off the plane. For people who want fun, easy, insider travel — elevated. Founded in 2011 by Bianca Gignac.
