It’s often said that travel is not about what you see, but rather what you experience. Join me and get away from the large crowds and tourist destinations and discover the true Italy, the land where I was born, educated and spend most of my own vacation time. Visit Abruzzo, Marche, Lazio, Umbria, Piedmont, Tuscany, Parma, Sicily and many more territories and experience the Italian way of life, the wonderful Dolce Vita so often imitated but not so simple to convert into reality. The time you spend with me it’s all about fun, laughter and the sense of family we seek away from home. We are a family operating team, and we will only connect you with families and their sense of values and hospitality. We'l l help you immerse yourself into the warm and friendly Italian culture and experience Italy among the Italians. But most of all you will discover the peaceful sense of hospitality we all search for in a foreign place.
