About Us

Our Specialisation is Italy

Set up in 1996, The Italian Connection (London) is one of the very few specialist companies who are able to promote Italy in its entirety.  Also members of the Association of British Travel Organisers to Italy.

Staff who know the country and understand how it all works

The company which is a family run concern, prides itself on its intimacy and size and throughout the organisation of your visit to Italy, you will be dealing with only one travel coordinator who will ensure that you get the very best assistance.  At present all the sales staff is Italian and know the country, its language and the product intimately.  

Freedom for you

Your visit to Italy can be designed around your specific enquiry and budget. You should therefore consider our role as a broker, we will source the right product for you based on the information you provide us. We recommend properties and services, not because they offer us the highest commission but because we feel that it is right for you. Unlike the standard package holiday we do not insist that you stay for a minimum of 7 nights half board or fly with a certain carrier – only in some instances as for example in high season, some seaside locations may insist on a 7-night stay or perhaps half board as they are more than likely to fill the space. If you wish, you can arrange your own flights directly with the carrier of your choice and we will take care of all the arrangements once the flight lands in Italy.

The Italian Connection product

We offer a vast range of accommodation options ranging from simple B&Bs to 5 star deluxe hotels including ancient monasteries, palaces and rural hideaways. Every hotel we recommend has been personally evaluated by us or our Italian agents, taking into consideration - Location, Architecture, Character, Authenticity and Quality of service. Even our recommended 1 & 2 star hotels are authentic Italian family-run properties where the owners take great pride in their establishment.

We can also assist you with a diverse and almost unlimited range of activity options from simple organised tours and excursions, to specialised activities. Some of these can  include adventures like sailing, ballooning, horse riding, cycling, cookery courses, language courses, activity sports including golf, spectator sports including football, events, festivals and opera.  Italy can offer this and more. Alternatively you may just want us to arrange a Porsche or a Ferrari to surprise your partner.  Don’t be afraid just ask as nothing is impossible here at The Italian Connection and if it is we will let you know!

Personal Service

You will be appointed your own personal travel consultant who will handle the planning of your visit to Italy. If you decide to book with us, you will be provided with a personal travel itinerary and an emergency contact number where help will be at hand should you encounter any difficulties. This applies to everybody whether you are planning a honeymoon, a wedding or a simple short break.

We will be promoting new ideas and products each month, so keep connected. If there is a specific request you have, just fill in our online enquiry form.
