The Process

We start with a consultation meeting to get to know you, your travel style, and preferences, and gain an understanding about your personal interests and the types of experiences you are seeking. This includes determining the timing of your trip, duration, where to go, types of accommodations to consider, and discussing the types of experiences available to you.

Get Inspired

From there, we craft your adventure, determining accommodations and transportation logistics and then filling each day with immersive and authentic experiences that highlight the best of each location. We partner with our extensive network of friends and family across Italy to connect you to our favorite people, places, and experiences and discover the unexpected.

We have a discerning eye for quality and value and carefully evaluate options to offer you the best experiences at a fair value; advising when a luxury experience is worth splurging for and when it’s not. We leverage our knowledge of Italian culture and language and our connections to ensure you’re welcomed and treated as friends.

Avoid the stress of planning and researching endless options on your own. Benefit from our 25+ years of trip-planning expertise, connections across Italy, and local knowledge and savvy.
