Famous for its pastel-hued towns that cascade down the coastline and its airborne aroma of citrus and salt, high-end clientele, multigenerational families, and romantic couples find solace in southern Italy. Because the area is so large, there are plenty of exceptional places to stay, things to do, and places to eat.
This is southern Italy at its most alluring—a stunning fusion of culture and natural beauty, where local charm and Italian heritage coexist.
During the high season, which lasts from late May till end of October, a large number of luxury travellers arrive due to the warm weather and lengthy days. Lucia Sorbillo, Founder of the luxury yacht and villa company Soluce, says, “Reservations at upscale restaurants and yacht charters require advance booking, and luxury concierge services are in high demand.”
For those who seek a getaway where every moment unfolds with a sense of gravitas, Soluce is the key. More than a luxury concierge, we are curators of the extraordinary, crafting custom itineraries that fully immerse you in the Mediterranean. From private yachts to hidden dining spots, from art to adventure, every detail is meticulously arranged so you can simply bond and reconnect with your family and friends.
Arriving in Style
Naples is a city of contrasts—its energy electric, its history profound. But you? You step into a private vehicle, where a refreshing drink waits – the first gesture of the exceptional service that awaits. The city’s raw, unfiltered charm fades into the background as you drive towards the coastline, where your yacht is moored, awaiting your arrival.
Soluce ensures every arrival is smooth, no matter what your transport preference is. Whether you need chauffeur-driven cars or helicopter tours that provide a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the Amalfi Coast, we ensure you move with ease.
A Taste of the Extraordinary: Private Dining & Culinary Experiences
A secluded villa glows in the twilight on the hills above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Inside, a chef that Soluce personally selected prepares a feast that will never be forgotten. As sun-ripened organic tomatoes are chopped and brushed with local olive oil, the aroma of freshly baked rosemary focaccia fills the air.
Southern Italian cuisine is more than just food; it’s a synthesis of tradition, storytelling, hospitality, and celebration. Each sip, each bite, is part of your journey.
From farm-to-table eating in a secret lemon grove to a private wine tasting in a centuries-old vineyard where the owner uncorks vintages set aside for Soluce’s guests, we organise regional culinary adventures. If seafood calls your name, imagine dining on the aft deck of a yacht, feasting on scialatielli ai frutti di mare and chilled Falanghina. Of course, bookings can be made effortlessly at the most sought-after restaurants in the area.
Southern Italy, Tailored to You
The cultural experiences and stories concealed behind ancient facades, Renaissance gardens, and busy piazzas are what make southern Italy so alluring, not simply its breathtaking landscape.
While most visitors jostle for a glimpse of Herculaneum and Pompeii’s ruins under the sun, we can arrange for you to explore at nightfall, accompanied by an archaeologist who wipes dust off an antique mosaic. This is the magic of Soluce, turning dream itineraries into reality.
Founded in 1953, the Ravello Festival, an annual classical and jazz festival, is one of the region’s unique summertime cultural events. Nothing, according to Sorbillo, can adequately convey the emotional intensity of Ravello’s cliffside location situated high above the Mediterranean. “To guarantee tickets, private transfers, or luxury accommodation, advance booking is strongly advised. A memorable occasion is the sunrise concert where you are immersed in orchestral symphonies as dawn breaks.”
Capri is the type of place where understated elegance is commonplace. Boutiques that are filled with delicate silk scarves and handcrafted leather sandals open early for you, providing you with a unique, private shopping experience away from the typical crowd. Let Soluce make sure every purchase is a declaration of Italian workmanship, whether it’s a custom piece of jewellery inspired by the sea or a suit created to measure by Naples’ renowned tailors.
Luxury, Leisure & Wellness in Southern Italy
From the breathtaking vistas of the Belmond Hotel Caruso to the Hotel Santa Caterina and the Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, which is part of Francis Ford Coppola’s family “Hideaways” and features rooms and suites with ceiling murals, claw-foot baths, and handcrafted furnishings, glamour is ingrained throughout every stay.
Repeat visitors agree that comfort comes from familiarity, and that southern Italy successfully blends tradition and timelessness while providing all the amenities you might want, no matter where you stay. For those craving a more elevated perspective, a picturesque helicopter ride over the coast unveils a hair-pin of roads sandwiched between vineyards and lemon trees, with villas spilling down the cliffsides. Adventure is never routine with Soluce.
The ambiance aboard your private yacht is ideal for times when you prefer to indulge without feeling rushed. Watching the scenery pass by during apertivo hour on the sun deck after a day of exploring is the classic way to experience southern Italy.
The greatest luxury is time, and at Soluce, we know that indulgence isn’t limited to material possessions but also encompasses one’s emotions. A private villa can be the remedy if you require total seclusion. Sunrise and birdsong will become your morning alarm for a yoga session, followed by a skilled masseuse working out every knot of stress on a sea-facing terrace adorned with pink bougainvillea creeping along the balcony.
The Essence of La Dolce Vita
The true art of la dolce vita is in how you experience it, not just where you go. It’s about everyday moments—the feel of cool hand-painted ceramic tiles beneath your feet, fresh-from-the-sea cuisine, the heavy clunk of an ancient wooden door shutting in a piazza, the excitement of a private tour where art or history comes alive.
When the time is right, the Mediterranean awaits. With Soluce, there are so many details that you won’t see them all the first time. And that’s why you’ll come back.
