The magnificent Duomo in Florence

Italy has something for everyone!  I meet with my Italy partners at least once every year. 

A country rich in history and monuments, it also offers stunning countryside and less traveled areas for if you want to get away from the hustle of the cities. 

Rome is the starting place for most first-time travelers with its rich history gorgeous monuments.  Did you know there are castles in the Roman countryside you can also visit?  After your stops at the Colosseum and Vatican, perhaps enjoy a day outside of the city.

As you head through Tuscany and Florence, stop along the way to visit the medieval villages or stay at a wine estate to experience the true flavors of Tuscany.  Prefer a day trip from Florence, the city of artisans?  You can easily see Pisa, Lucca, Siena, SanGimignano from Florence.  I highly suggest a few days in Cinque Terre where the villages hug the sea.  You can easily get between them via boat or train. 

Heading north, why not stop into Milan for fabulous shopping and to see the famous Duomo.  You are so close to lake country with Lake Como just 40 minutes away or head to the less traveled Lake Orta, Maggiore or skip over to Lake Lugano in Switzerland.  

If you are car lover like I am, the Bologna area is home to Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Pagani, Ducati as well as the famous Parma ham and Modena Vinegar. 

From here we can head into Venice, which needs no introduction.  That said, you can also visit the smaller island of the Lagoon for a more locals experience. 

If you want to see a less traveled part of Italy, perhaps head into the Puglia region and stay at one of the farm estates.  Puglia is an up-and-coming destination full of local farms, stunning coastlines and caves and a slower pace of life.  Combine Puglia with Sicily.  Sicily is home to famous sites in Taormina yet it has stunning and secluded resorts and beaches as well.

Did you know Sardinia is also part of  Italy?  This beautiful island is coming into its own with new and refurbished resorts in Costa Smeralda while still maintaining its wild nature.  Sardinia has gorgeous beaches with crystal clear waters. 

And finally, the Amalfi coast.  Famous for its beautiful waters, islands such as Capri, amazing food, sites such as Pompeii and limoncello!  Amalfi can be crowded, let me help you find the perfect place to stay. 

I will help you organize your experience in Italy as I have partners and relationships all over the country to assure that you experience the best of Italy.
