On this tour you will visit two magical places in the Campania region. The silk factory, the pride of Campania all over the world, and the charming old Caserta, an enchanted village full of small craft stores and culinary delights.
The silk of San Leucio has always been the pride of Caserta textile production in the world. Perfection and uniqueness are its main features, as well as di-signs from the weave in confusing. Ferdinand IV of Bourbon founded the Royal Colony of Silk of San Leucio with the desire to surpass, in beauty and refinement, the silk of French fabrics of the time.
Today the Silk Factory houses the Silk Museum where it is also possible to follow an itinerary on the production in all its phases, discovering the ancient restored looms, including the hydraulic wheel to activate the twisting machines, a revolutionary machinery at that time.
It is possible to observe the exposition of the various fabrics: Damask, polychromatic lampas, taffeta and liseré are the most famous Leucian silk products. Leucian silks have also been chosen by costume designers of famous movies to dress many stars such as Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson.
After visiting the factory, together with your driver head towards Caserta Vecchia, where you will have 1.5 hours to immerse yourself in the quiet and colorful streets of this place. Old Caserta (a hamlet of Caserta) is a medieval village that lies on the slopes of the Tifatini Mountains at 401 meters above sea level.
The village has undergone various dominations throughout history, and is a destination of tourist interest because of the Cathedral, the bell tower, the remains of the castle and the streets of the entire village that recall the splendor of a time that was.
The remarkable panorama that can be enjoyed in many points of the village, the summer coolness and the many clubs and pizzerias make Caserta vecchia a destination for tourists and locals for a pleasant day out.
* PLEASE NOTE: The order of the itinerary may vary according to traffic and logistics needs.
Our car tour of Naples with Agrippino Caiazza (aka Pino) will truly be the highlight of our trip to Italy. From the moment he picked my husband and myself up from the train station and drove us to our two day place of residence, I knew we would see Pino again. The next day we employed his services to drive us to Pompeii. He actually waited in his car for our 3.5 hour walking tour to end. What came next was a scenic drive along the Amalfi coast, early dinner at a cliff side restaurant and a sunset I will always remember. Not only did I appreciate Pino's courteous and cautious driving abilities, but the company of this wonderful man. I loved that we included him in our meal, because at this point he was family. I can honestly say when the moment came to leave Naples and Pino, my heart broke with our good-by. Caio Pino!
Estábamos en Nápoles solo un par de días, y no nos apetecía conducir, por lo que contratamos a Pino para que nos llevara. Vino a buscarnos al hotel, y a pesar de habernos estado esperando (por un malentendido) un buen rato, nos recibió amablemente y de buen humor.
Conductor prudente y buen conversador. Nos fue dando consejos, y cambiamos la ruta sobre la marcha aunque ello supuso conducir más tiempo. Estuvimos en Pompeya, Herculaneum y Sorrento (por el golfo de Nápoles).
Nos dio también buenos consejos sobre la ciudad de Nápoles.
Sin duda volveríamos a viajar con él. Muy recomendable. Ah! Y se defiende un poco en español.
I cannot exaggerate how thrilled and impressed my wife and I were with Pino’s day trip in the Amalfi Coast. A Napoli native, he knows all you need to know about the region; he suggested a change in itinerary to avoid traffic and he was 100% correct.
We had plenty of time to explore each town at our own pace. He hast a vast knowledge of the history and culture of the area. He speaks English very well; he even studied writing and philosophy. He’s a terrific, safe, and smooth driver, a professional and a gentleman. A lot of fun too. It’s a great way to spend the day.
I recommend highly!!!
