Then return to your hotel and overnight in Rome.

Meet your driver and guide in the hotel lobby and start your private tour to discover the Vatican Museums.

The Vatican Museums are some of the largest museums in the world with an enormous collection that varies from ancient Roman and Egyptian artefacts, religious objects, beautifully painted rooms and even modern art. The 26 different museums of the Vatican are housed in a complex of multiple Apostolic palaces, and are by far the most popular museum destination in Rome, in part because of the famous Sistine Chapel. During your visit, you will marvel at the many art treasures that the popes have collected in 54 halls since the 16th century.

The absolute highlight of the route through the Vatican museums is a visit to the Sistine Chapel (‘Capella Sistina’). The name is derived from the founder of the chapel, pope Sixtus IV. The impressive ceiling of this 15th-century Sistine Chapel was painted in the 16th century by Michelangelo. It portrays the story of creation, the great flood and other scenes. The side walls are equally beautiful with paintings of the life of Jesus made by Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Perugino, Pinturicchio and others. The wall behind the alter shows Michelangelo’s painting of the ‘Last Judgement’. The Sistine Chapel is mostly known for being the space where the cardinals meet for conclave when electing a new pope. When a new pope is being elected, smoke comes from the chapel’s chimney twice a day. White smoke means a new pope has been elected, while black smoke means the cardinals were not yet successful in their mission.

Meet your driver in your hotel lobby in Sorrento and transfer to Caserta station. On the road, stop in Caserta for a private guided tour of the Reggia di Caserta.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is considered the largest royal residence in the world, even larger than Versailles. The laying of the first stone took place on 20 January 1752, by will of the King of Naples Charles of Bourbon. As part of the vast work of reorganization of the kingdom of Naples, undertaken by Charles since 1734, the foundation of this palace also took place, which was supposed to symbolize the prestige of the bourbon monarchy, but was also supposed to constitute a safer home than Naples.

The architect who built it was Luigi Vanvitelli, to whom the king asked that in the project of the sumptuous residence there should be, in addition to the palace, also the park and the arrangement of the surrounding urban area, with the supply from a new aqueduct (Acquedotto Carolino) which crossed the annexed complex of San Leucio.

At the end of the gallery, which crosses the Palace, the main attraction of the Palace begins, a 3 km long park with a succession of meadows, pools and scenographic fountains, adorned with sculptures that exalt nature through myths. Luigi Vanvitelli’s ideas, not yet completed when he died, were implemented with some variations by his son Carlo. Via the central avenue you first reach the “Fontana Margherita” and then the Ponte d’Ercole where the great “waterway” begins.

The first fountain you come across is the one called “Dolphins” because the water comes out of the mouths of three large fish carved in stone. Followed by the fountain of “Aeolus”, a large exedra in which numerous “caverns” open which simulate the home of the winds, represented by several statues of zephyrs, never completed.

The garden offers a series of places: the cryptoporticus, with statues from the Pompeii excavations and the Farnese collection; the small lake of the Bagno di Venere, with the fake Pompeian ruins; the English-style casino, built on two floors, with a base and Doric pillar supporting a cornice adorned with medallions, which was Graefer’s home. Nearby are the Aquarium, intended for aquatic plants, the Rose Garden and the Botanical School.
