The hands-down best part of planning your vacations are making Italian wishes come true ✨ Even the ones you might not know you have! I think I had (almost!) as much fun planning Stella’s incredible 30th birthday trip as she’s having on it. From our initial call/mind meld after which I immediately hung up and booked her a dolce vita fantasy suite to a private tour of the institute with fashion archivist, Barolo wine tasting & so much more, this is the Tuscan itinerary of anyone’s fantasy. I feel SO grateful I got to make it Stella & Ariana’s vacation reality. I’m always so appreciative of the gracious, enthusiastic clients I get to work with & collaborating with these two has been SO much fun. (Plus you know… she has a GREAT name!) Tanti auguri Stella! Wishing you the happiest Italian 30th & many more 🇮🇹 trips in the new decade 😉

What a privilege it was to return to this spot, one of my early Italian visits, a place where I truly felt like I was touching history. And it left me speechless! But not caption-less…. 😉

This past week I’ve been finalising the details for a 2025 tour in the most fun way possible- two returning clients came to experience it privately as a ‘Scout with the CEO’. One of the highlights of our week - and I’m sure for next year’s travelers - was our visit to the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily. Did you know some of the oldest & best preserved Grecian temples actually reside here in Italy? In the biggest archeological park? These were the skyscrapers of ancient times and our guide Lorenzo revealed so many mind blowing facts… I can’t wait to bring a group here.

It’s been an explosive summer to say the least! 🌋 With the Sicilian volcanoes in competition for who can put on a better show, we were SO excited to arrange a helicopter ride for our private travelers Alex & Lily. Departing from luxe Taormina digs, they were chauffeured to the private airfield and took off for a ride that included views of the Sicilian coastline, the entirety of Mount Etna and of course, the volcanic action. Their pilot was so excited by this display that (after safely landing ovvio) he popped some bubbles to celebrate. ✨🌋 Need help arranging amazing Italian experiences and itineraries?

One thing Italy knows how to do amazingly well is honor their medieval heritage. It’s in their culinary traditions, the UNESCO sites and their festivals. Today’s the day we celebrate one: in 1972, Montisi, the enchanting medieval town in Siena, reignited its historic joust tradition to celebrate Madonna delle Nevi!  The locals came together, donned their medieval costumes, and brought this thrilling festival back to life. Thanks to their enthusiasm and dedication, the joust has become a vibrant, annual celebration full of excitement and tradition that continues to captivate everyone! 🏰⚔️🎠

☕️🍰 Café Mulassano is a tiny treasure trove of charm and craftsmanship. With its bronze, wood, and brass boiseries, it’s like a jewelry box of coziness. Designed by the genius engineer Antonio Vandone and brought to life by a team of top-notch artisans, it’s a visual feast of luxurious marbles and a show-stopping coffered ceiling. Started as a humble bottle shop by Amilcare Mulassano in the late 1907. In 1925, the first toasted bread machine came to Turin and invented the tramezzino—Italy’s tastiest lunchtime love affair. 🇮🇹
