Gran Premio Nuvolari Driving Experience – Alfa Romeo

Live Motorsport and Sicily's Greatest Driving Roads

September

About This Tour

Drive the legendary roads of Tuscany at the wheel of a classic Alfa Romeo Spider and experience the excitement of the Gran Premio Nuvolari live. This Italian classic car tour combines scenic Chianti backroads, medieval hill towns, world-famous wine regions, and the atmosphere of one of Europe’s great historic rally events. From Siena and Pienza to the rolling Crete Senesi, every day delivers unforgettable driving, authentic Tuscan cuisine, and the timeless spirit of Italian motoring.

1
Naples & First Drive Along the Bay

 

After arriving at Naples Airport, you’ll transfer to your hotel before meeting the Nostalgic team and your classic Alfa Romeo Spider. Your introductory drive leads around the Bay of Naples toward Pozzuoli, offering the perfect first taste of open-top driving in Southern Italy. Later, discover Naples on a guided city tour through lively streets filled with espresso bars, grand piazzas, and historic architecture. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Neapolitan dinner in a local trattoria as you get to know your fellow travelers.

Ravello & the Amalfi Coast Drive

Today delivers one of Italy’s most unforgettable driving routes. Leaving Naples behind, you climb into the Monti Lattari on winding mountain roads with panoramic views over the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. In Ravello, perched high above the coast, you visit the famous Villa Cimbrone and its spectacular terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. After lunch, the route follows the legendary Amalfi Coast Road toward Sorrento — a dream drive of cliffs, sea views, tunnels, and pastel-colored villages. Back at the elegant Grand Hotel La Favorita, the evening begins with an aperitivo on the rooftop terrace.

Amalfi, Vietri sul Mare & Coastal Touring

This morning you return to the Amalfi Coast for another day of spectacular driving. In Amalfi, once one of Italy’s powerful maritime republics, you stroll through the old town and visit the cathedral at the heart of the village. After lunch, the route continues to Vietri sul Mare, famous for its colorful ceramics and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Along the return drive, the Mediterranean sparkles beside you while limestone cliffs rise dramatically overhead — classic Alfa Romeo touring at its finest.

Capri & Farewell to Southern Italy

Today trades four wheels for the sea. From Sorrento, you travel by boat to Capri, the glamorous island long associated with artists, celebrities, and the golden era of Italian travel. Explore elegant piazzas, scenic viewpoints, boutique-lined lanes, and Mediterranean cafés while soaking up the island’s timeless atmosphere. In the afternoon, you return to Naples Airport for your onward journey home.

Italy

Tuscany is one of the world’s great road trip destinations, especially behind the wheel of a classic Alfa Romeo Spider. Rolling vineyard hills, cypress-lined roads, medieval villages, and Renaissance cities create an almost cinematic backdrop for open-top touring.

Chianti Classico lies at the heart of the region, famous for its historic wineries, hill towns, and relaxed Italian lifestyle. South of Siena, the landscape becomes even more dramatic in the Crete Senesi, where pale clay ridges and winding country roads create some of the most beautiful driving routes in Italy.

Historic towns such as Pienza and Montalcino combine architecture, wine culture, and extraordinary cuisine. Pecorino cheese, Brunello wines, handmade pasta, truffles, and long Tuscan lunches are all part of the experience. At the same time, Tuscany remains deeply connected to Italian motoring heritage. Roads once used in the Mille Miglia and Gran Premio Nuvolari still deliver the same rhythm, curves, and driving pleasure that made Italy legendary among classic car enthusiasts.

The Gran Premio Nuvolari itself honors one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, Tazio Nuvolari. Today, the rally brings together extraordinary vintage automobiles from across Europe, creating a moving celebration of classic motorsport and Italian automotive culture.

Our Guests Say It Best

Fabulous trip

First, I want to thank you for a wonderful experience and offer my praise for putting together a fabulous trip. I will miss some superlatives but they include: able escorts (not strong car guys but attentive hosts), well thought out routes and the “bicycle” route guides for same, the thoughtfulness of supplying an auxiliary phone power source, pleasant and well situated lodging at the NH in Palermo and near Mount Etna, some insanely bountiful lunches and a fabulous Michelin Star experience on our last night – all nights but the first (a great atmosphere but average fare) measured up to our last meal, prearranged and easy to find parking in Taormina, a fabulous, knowledgable and articulate guide in Palermo, scripted menus, nocturnal tours and, of course, the opportunity to drive a different Alfa each day. Criticisms are few but you have asked for same: I found the hotel near Cefalu to be consumer unfriendly and most occupants were concerned and discomfited by the malodor of unburned petrol – might I suggest in line filters for the gas tank vents.

Unforgettable experience

We returned home safe and sound Thursday evening. The real world starts Monday, but before events take over I wanted to let you know what an unforgettable experience our Grand Tour was. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes to make it possible: those we saw, and those we didn’t. You make it look easy. We know better. Pulling this off is hard, hard work and it involves a lot of flexibility and gymnastics. On a scale of 1-10 we’d have to rate our trip as a 15.

Felt okay driving them with verve

The Alfas were great. They were in good condition, but not perfect, so we felt okay driving them with verve. The routes were beautiful and well planned. The gift bag items were nice and very useful. The balance of group and individual meals was good. Noel and Luca communicated very well with everyone. Well done.

My son and I had the most special time

Let me just say that my son & I had the most special time together on this magical trip. The scenery, cars, roads, hotels, food and staff were more than exceptional! The group was full of car geeks and we enjoyed their company. We look forward to another journey in the future with Nostalgic.

The cars were superb

My wife and I just finished a great 4 days in Italy driving your Alfas. Your team was fantastic! The food was outstanding. We probably bought too much organic wine. We look forward to drinking and remembering this trip. The cars were superb. My wife thought I was losing my mind when I was laughing through the winding roads of Umbria. Thanks again to you and your staff. Alex and Fabio deserve a special thanks. They went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. Until the next trip.

Words cannot communicate this experience

I had travelled to Lago Maggiore many times during my life. The Nostalgic team was able to assemble a life experience which brought all elements of wonderful scenery, great cars and great roads together for 23 people from all parts of the world to enjoy. While we may all mat have come from various countries, spoke different languages and diverse backgrounds, age and cultures, we all bonded on this level of life experience. Words cannot communicate this experience and can only recommend one to try for themselves. I would do this tour again (and I will) in a heartbeat!

You’ve inspired me!

It was our first trip to Italy, and we feel it was a much more real taste of the country than we’d ever experience following a traditional tourist itinerary. Driving classic cars through the mountains, valleys, and lakeshore was incredible — we saw so many people looking at us jealously! But as great as the cars and countryside were, the people made the tour special. We appreciated the support of the Nostalgic team. We quickly bonded with fellow travelers and anticipate staying in contact. Not only are we considering our next trip with Nostalgic, I’m thinking of scenic routes to plot in my home region — both for my enjoyment and for friends. You’ve inspired me!

Lake Maggiore was magical

Lake Maggiore was magical. The setting was more than I expected. Day 2 drive up to Lago d’Orta was lovely. The dappled sunlight through the trees and the gorgeous greenery. And then the lake itself and the magesty of the mountains around us. Mezmerizing. Although times precarious, the drive to Locarno was breathtaking, literally at time as we rounded a corner the view was indescribable. And when we came upon the festival in the town just south of the midpoint stop (Rainbow disco church as we called it). Ascona was my favorite stop.

A perfect experience!

It was a perfect blend of structured time/group time and individual. The cars were amazing, guides were amazing, routes were great, tours/towns visited were perfect. It has a real world feel as we drove among actual Italian villages and a surreal element as passersby photographed us in the cars. A perfect experience!

It was truly beyond belief!

The time we had with our family is beyond words. The event itself was just fantastic. Your accommodations for us after the tour were over the top and eased our angst. We look forward to another trip with Nostalgic Tours in the future. It was truly beyond belief! Thank you so much for everything,

Nostalgic definitely deserves five stars

Nostalgic definitely deserves five stars for this tour of Tuscany and the Mille Miglia! Their planning was obviously well thought out, and its execution was flawless. Who would have thought these five days would include so much of Alfa Romeos, Italy, and the Mille Miglia. Nostalgic’s vintage Alfa Romeo Spiders were in impeccable condition, and what fun driving a different Spider each day. Our tour guides made sure every detail was covered, working behind the scenes to assure the Spiders were always ready for action. They responded quickly and thoughtfully to every need and request. The Borgo di Vesiclne Hotel was perfect for our tour with interesting and upscale rooms and grounds and five star service and food. Finally, the whole point of the tour was driving the Alfas. They appeared to have just come from the showroom, and they drove beautifully. Thanks, Nostalgic!

Exceptional service

Exceptional service from Felix, Finn and Noel. These likable guys truly made the tour special. I appreciated the balance of autonomy and attention they provided and their overall management of the group. We absolutely loved the hotel choice and every destination. One happy surprise was our connection with the other tour members–we made some great international friends.

Beautiful old property

We enjoyed both of our wonderful tours with Nostalgic. The first was in Tuscany. We were greeted at Florence airport and taken by private coach to our base hotel a few miles from Siena. It is a beautiful old property with an excellent restaurant and kitchen. All our needs and wishes were attended to by Walter and his staff. Our cars were clean and ready every morning for the day’s drive. All the routes were conducive to relaxed, uncongested driving. The lunch and dinner venues were outstanding.

Meticulous attention to detail

Our base hotel accommodation was premium. Walter and his staff had arranged spectacular drives through the Alps Maritimes and the Route Napoleon. As expected, the cars were in impeccable condition. The selection of side tours, points of interest, rest stops and restaurants were excellent. Every meal was memorable. Walter and his staff looked after us in every situation. They engender a level of confidence and enthusiasm that is made possible only by thorough planning, years of experience and meticulous attention to detail…..and an uncanny ability to anticipate the wishes and expectations of their clients. In addition to the wonderful experience that the tours offer, we have made close friendships among those with whom we shared these experiences. This is an unexpected and priceless reward. We are eagerly anticipating our next nostalgic.de experience.

Tremendous amount of fun

Driving the Alfa Giulia Spider on these roads was magnificent, a tremendous amount of fun. The cars were genuinely in very good condition, engine, drive train, all good. All really went well, the road books were very well done even to us who were not familiar with all the signs on the roads in Europe. The guides were enthusiastic and contributed very well to the experience. I liked not having to follow a lead car but to be responsible myself for all directions. I did not feel as on a group tour, even though we made friends with some of the other couples on the tour.
