"Italy and the spring and the first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy."
Bertrand Russell, Welsh philosopher
WHO ARE WE?
We’ve been crafting bespoke Italian holidays since the early 1990s — and we’ve loved every single moment of it. Our team is Italian, with deep roots in the country. We’ve lived, worked, and continue to be inspired by Italy’s beauty, culture, and charm. From the moment you reach out to us, we’re here to listen, advise, and guide you every step of the way.
Whether you're dreaming of a private luxury villa or a city bolthole in the heart of a historical centre, a helicopter tour over vineyards or a water taxi in Venice, a five-star hotel on the Amalfi Coast or an off-the-beaten-track cottage on the slopes of Mount Etna — we’ve got you covered. Cook with Nonna Concetta, taste wine in the hills of Ischia, go scuba diving in Taormina, or rock climb in the Monti Lattari... The list of unforgettable experiences is endless.
What sets us apart is our commitment to:
-
✨ Offering fresh, exciting experiences — always with honesty and insight
-
🎭 Opening doors to hidden palaces, behind-the-scenes moments, and local gems
-
🍝 Recommending authentic, off-the-radar restaurants
