Storybound Journey: love and limoncello

This journey is designed so you can:

• Wake up knowing the day flows naturally
• Experience the winding roads of the Amalfi Coast without worrying about driving
• Explore each destination at a relaxed, enjoyable pace
• Join me, Ann Jagger, as I show you what brought inspiration to my writing and answer your questions about me, my book, and my time spent in limoncello country
• Enjoy your free days alone or in small groups as you create your own Amalfi memories

Everything is handled.

You get to be present. 

This journey includes: 

• Experience this part of Italy by plane, train, bus, private coach, boat, and your own feet, throughout this trip
• A thoughtfully designed route through the parts of Italy that became the setting of an unusual romance with the help of a stereotypical Italian grandmother
• Boutique-style accommondations selected for comfort, charm, walkability, and atmosphere
• Time built in for rest, wandering, waterfront moments, and spontaneous discoveries
• A small group that feels personal--not crowded
• Flexible days with optional excursions and experiences

And throughout it all...

I'm there with you.

Highlights Include:

• A Welcome Dinner to start our adventure
• The breathtaking Amalfi Coastal Highway
• Iconic Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius, if you're game
• The colorful energy of Positano
• The relaxed down-to-earth feel of Massa Lubrense
• The tranquil beauty of the island of Capri
• Limoncello tastings, local foods, espresso, and Italian pastries
• Ocean sunsets, marina evenings, hidden gems, and Sorrento charm
• Ferry from Sorrento to Naples and high-speed  train from Naples to Rome
• A free day and a half in Rome to see whatever you want
• Carefully chosen locations that balance atmosphere, comfort, and freedom
• A Farewell Dinner either in Sorrento or Rome--the group chooses

This isn't about filling every minute.

It's about enjoying where you are while you're there.

A Story to Remember Your Journey

At the end of the trip, I create something you won't find elsewhere:

A custom-written story inspired by the journey and the people who shared it.

Part reflection. Part memory. Part keepsake.

Something to revisit long after the sunsets fade into memory.

Not something you can buy.

Not something you'll find anywhere else.

Just yours.

This journey is ideal for:

• Travelers who value comfort, connection, and meaningful experiences
