OVERVIEW
Italy is one of the most enchanting and appealing places in the world.
Italian lifestyle is so rich in culture and charm, and nowhere in the world are mythology, tradition, art, literature, architecture, philosophy and music so close related.
ICNOS Adventures offers centrally located hotels reflecting the character of the cities, well suited to independent travelers, in order to spend mornings for city walks and evenings sipping a glass of wine or savoring a delicious “gelato” or “cappuccino” in the typical Italian bars.

    TESTIMONIALS

    “This walking tour was just amazing in every way. Our accommodation was just perfect from the beautiful accommodation in Cava de’Tirreni, with our gracious hosts, to the lovely B&B in Tramonti […]; then the delightful hotel in Amalfi with their enthusiastic welcoming staff, to the lovely small but ever-so-peaceful hotel in Capri with its lovely terrace overlooking the 12th century Carthusian monastery and no TV. This is something that is not important for these enthusiastic walkers! ICNOS give great attention to detail and we cannot fault them in any way – from being met on the train in Naples, met in the various villages at the end of a hard day’s walking or transported to the beginnings of walks at the start of the day by courteous drivers who could speak some English giving us some of the local flavour of the area.
    When you don’t speak the local language it is great to get off a train/boat in a strange land to be greeted by an ICNOS sign with your name on it. It takes the stress out of travel. Also the restaurants that we were booked into to experience the local food were all superb. At the end of a glorious day of walking it is great that we did not have to make further choices about ‘where will we eat tonight’ and to know that we will eat well. As a foodie with a great love of Italian food it was just another enriching dimension to this fantastic trip. All of our routes were well planned and the walking offered many varied experiences – walking through shady woods, through lemon orchards, olive groves, vineyards and the many, many steps (thousands!), with fabulous views along the way. Part of the Amalfi experience! The walking tour requires a reasonable amount of fitness, but not too hard for these retirees. Thank you Marcello and Anna for the wonderful trip and all the organisation that lies beneath making it so successful. It was also great to meet you personally.

    “Highlights & Backroads of the Amalfi Coast and Capri, Jetset & Nature” self-guided walking tour – Sept 2013

    Margaret and Allan Davidson – Auckland, New Zealand

    “We have taken two walking trips with ICNOS, and we would love to take a third. They provide detailed walking directions and maps for each day in some of the most beautiful places I have seen. We have now, in April 2017, returned to ICNOS to arrange a wonderful week-long trip to Sicily. This was less a walking trip like the ones in Amalfi, Tuscany, and the Cinque Terre and more of an around-the-island introduction to Sicily. ICNOS arranged car and driver and public transportation along with country and city hotels. They even found the best undiscovered restaurant in Trapani and got us a reservation. Every travel detail worked perfectly so we could enjoy ancient monuments, nature preserve, wine tasting, and a balcony view of Mt. Etna. We could never have seen Sicily like this without ICNOS knowledge of Italy and careful planning.”
