Here’s what I’ve recently booked for my amazing clients:

NYC in December:
One of my dear clients, who has terminal cancer, decided to take a last-minute trip to NYC with his family to experience the city’s Christmas decorations. The challenge was finding a hotel room that could accommodate five people—two queen beds are rare in NYC, and adding a fold-out sofa is nearly unheard of! The hotel also needed to be centrally located to minimize walking, as his energy is very limited.

Anniversary Cruise of a Lifetime:
Another long-time client is celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary with an 18-night cruise through Spain and France. It was important to find the perfect balance of luxury and unique destinations, so we chose a smaller ship that could access exclusive ports unavailable to larger vessels.

Disneyworld Family Vacation:
For Disney World, I planned an unforgettable holiday trip for a fun-loving family who wanted to visit all the parks during the festive season. I conducted extensive research to find accommodations that offered both high luxury and proximity to the parks, ensuring they could maximize their time enjoying the magic rather than traveling between locations.

Active Guided Tour of Croatia:
Lastly, I helped a family of 7 with a memorable trip to Croatia to celebrate their mom’s 60th birthday. They wanted an active experience but with variety, so I found a tour operator that offers multiple adventure options—walking, biking, boating, and sea kayaking. This itinerary was the perfect match for their active lifestyle and desire for flexibility in exploring Croatia.

Each of these trips presented unique challenges, but they were incredibly rewarding to plan!

Castel Monastero, a resort in the heart of Chianti, is just a short drive from Siena. Surrounded by Tuscan vineyards, chestnut forests, and cypress-lined roads, this former 12th-century monastery has been transformed into a refined retreat and spa.

I experienced one of the best massages at their spa, which also features a unique salt pool that allows you to feel completely weightless, as well as a hydrotherapy circuit of pools.

Each room is unique at this property so contact me to match you to the best fit for your needs.

Perks booking with me:
* Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
* Daily buffet breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom.
* $100 USD Resort credit
* Early check-in / Late check-out, subject to availability

Autumn is prime harvest time for vineyards around the world. And although those tidy rows of vines are beautiful any time of year, there’s something about seeing the actual grapes that makes you appreciate your next glass of wine even more.

If you’re up for a last-minute getaway (or early planning for next year’s harvest), you’ll also be treated to mild temperatures and fewer crowds, particularly in Europe where summer crowds and temperatures can soar.
