This July, a direct high-speed train linked the Bay of Naples to the shores of Puglia — no changes, no long drive across the Apennines. Five private journeys, designed to be lived across both coasts of the south.
On 1 July 2026 the new Napoli–Cancello section came into service, joining the Naples–Bari route to Italy's high-speed network through the Afragola hub. For the first time a direct Frecciarossa runs from Naples to Bari and on to Lecce with no change of train.
What used to be a long transfer across the mountains is now a comfortable ride between two coasts — the Tyrrhenian on one side, the Adriatic on the other. The time you save is time returned to the journey itself: a slower lunch, another swim, one more town.
These five are starting points, not fixed departures. Each is fully private and driver-escorted, in 4★ superior and 5★ properties, and built to flex around your clients' dates, pace and taste.
We'll send the complete day-by-day for all five journeys, with pricing on request and tailoring notes for your market.
