Five Star Italy

31/01/2022

Visiting Portofino in May, on the Italian Riviera, will be a dream come true for me. My Italy to-do list seems to keep growing even as I keep visiting more and more destinations. How is that possible? Because every time I visit a city or town for the first time, it makes me want to just keep experiencing more and more of this spectacular and magical country. And, of course, the more places I experience for myself, the more firsthand knowledge I have to pass onto my clients. Portofino has been a dream for me so long and, from this photo, it’s not hard to see why! ❤️🇮🇹❤️

Part of my (very tough) job is to explore, firsthand, different destinations throughout Italy. That’s how I pass on firsthand knowledge to all my clients and ensure they have experiences they would otherwise not have. I love passing on all my “little secrets” to my clients… the little details that elevate their trip to yet another higher level; where to best enjoy a sunset cocktail, where to take an early morning stroll, where to find authentic Italian boutiques. This, of course, on top of the also crucial knowledge of where to stay, where to dine and how to best spend their precious vacation time. This destination is a place I’ve been wanting to explore for years and have tried getting to since 2019. Fingers crossed, I will be fortunate enough to get there, early May. 🤞🙏. Any guesses where it is?

What was my favorite day, moment, photo, experience, hotel, meal, city, location, tour of my 4 weeks in Italy this summer? At the risk of sounding corny, EVERY SINGLE thing was my favorite. This trip exceeded any expectations I had and just blew them out of the water. The experiences I had, the friends I made, my business partners that became friends, making new business connections, visiting and staying at countless magnificent hotels, seeing new places while revisiting “old” favorites, all contributed to one of the best times of my life. But, the most special part- hands down- was having my family there to share it all with; my husband, my oldest son, my brother, my niece, my sister. That was all just the icing on the best cake I ever had. I am filled with gratitude for having had this opportunity, for the fact that this is my “job” and that I get to create the same feelings, experiences and memories for all my clients. Thank you to everyone on my journey that contributed to this dream that I still can’t believe is real. 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️

I really did not think this day would come. Getting my first client pictures since pre-c*% (don’t want to ruin the mood with the c word) was indescribably AMAZING!!! And, since Italy eased its’ restrictions on US tourists a few weeks ago, I’ve been working like I haven’t worked since 2019!!! To say I feel blessed and grateful is a gross understatement. I will be leaving soon for a month in Italy (fingers crossed!!), starting with the greatly anticipated conference. But, what I am most excited for is seeing my clients’ dream Italian vacations come to fruition. And, I am sure, we will all appreciate the opportunity to travel like we never have before. 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹 🙏

It is beyond surreal that Italy is open and ready to welcome us with open arms!! Clients are booking last minute summer vacations, hotels are getting filled up by the minute, restrictions are being lifted and Summer 2021 in Italy is now a reality!!! I literally cannot wait for my own one month trip all around the country (starting with the conference in Florence! 🙏🙏) but, more importantly, I can’t wait for my clients to have the experience of a lifetime and see for themselves why Italy is the world’s number one vacation destination ! 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️. Cheers to a healthy summer season and a much longed for return to tourism! 🥂🇮🇹

Please Gd, let this be true 🙏!!! Even if not for the sake of tourists, at least for the sake of all the millions working in tourism related jobs. To brighter days ahead!! 🇮🇹☀️🇮🇹☀️

Thank you for executing such an incredible event over the last 3 days! Even though we all wish for it to have been in person (that’s an understatement!!), I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to connect virtually with some of .star.italy partners in Italy, as well as meeting some awesome new potential partners. Counting down the minutes until we can all meet face to face and celebrate the country that we are all so passionate about!! 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️

So honored- and excited!- to be a part of DUCO Virtuale over the next three days. Although we were all supposed to gather in Florence and meet in person, I am grateful to have the opportunity to speak virtually one on one with all the best of the best Italian hoteliers and DMCs. I can talk about Italy all day every day, so this conference is a dream for me!! Thank you, DUCO, for making this happen and let’s hope we can do this in our beloved Italia very very soon!! ❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️
