Ninfa & Sermoneta Private Tour by Discovery Guided Tours

The Amalfi Coast in Campania, Italy, is synonymous with breathtaking coastal views, but Discovery Guided Tours offers a distinct journey inland that reveals an unexpected blend of nature, history, and quiet reverence. Their six-hour private tour to the Gardens of Ninfa and the medieval town of Sermoneta departs from the region's vibrant coast into an area steeped in lush greenery and centuries of history.

At the heart of this trip lies the Gardens of Ninfa—a verdant oasis sprawling over 8 hectares near the medieval ruins of the ancient town of Ninfa. This garden boasts more than 10,000 species of rare plants, including exotic flowers, mature trees, and unique flora that thrive beside ruins dating back to the 12th century. Quiet paths weave through arches covered with climbing roses and over stone bridges spanning gentle streams. It’s a rare chance to immerse yourself in a living garden that inspired poets and writers across centuries, offering a sanctuary from Italy’s more trafficked tourist attractions.

Following the garden visit, the tour continues to Sermoneta, a small, fortified town that retains much of its medieval fabric. Here, visitors step into winding cobblestone streets lined with pastel buildings, culminating at the impressive Caetani Castle. The views from here encompass rolling hills and valleys, connecting nature’s calm with architectural grandeur.

Discovery Guided Tours specializes in personalized, intimate experiences that reveal lesser-known treasures near the Amalfi Coast. This tour stands out by merging outdoor beauty with cultural depth, providing a refreshing alternative for travelers wishing to broaden their Italian adventure beyond beaches and cliffs. Whether you're a lover of history, gardening, or quiet scenic walks, this journey caters to all who seek a thoughtful blend of nature and heritage in Campania’s soft, rural landscape.
