From Sorrento to Oplontis

Embark on a comfortable and scenic transfer from Sorrento to Oplontis in Torre Annunziata, home to the remarkably well-preserved Villa Poppaea, a hidden gem of Roman archaeology. Travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle while our professional, English-speaking driver ensures a smooth and relaxing journey along the beautiful Bay of Naples.

Unlike the bustling ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, Oplontis offers a quieter, more intimate glimpse into ancient Roman luxury. The centerpiece of the site, Villa Poppaea, is believed to have belonged to Poppaea Sabina, the wife of Emperor Nero. The villa showcases stunning frescoes, intricate mosaics, and expansive gardens, all remarkably preserved under the volcanic ash from the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply curious to explore a lesser-known archaeological treasure, our door-to-door transfer guarantees a stress-free, comfortable journey. Perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, or groups, our transfer service ensures punctuality, safety, and convenience.

Odilia, picked me up in Naples and we drive to Positano. I had asked her for her card, should I need her services. I decided to call her for a tour of Sorrento. She showed me some of the highlights and later had lunch. She is very professional, knowledgeable of her country and a superior driver. I would definitely use her again. FIVE STARS
