Services
Our clients aren’t interested in taking bus tours that hit dozens of sites in a just a few days. They are explorers and wanderlust-filled “travelistas” pursuing an authentic grass-roots experience. From waking up to the gentle bleating of sheep on a farm, to enjoying the smell of morning espresso in the small piazza of an unheard of hillside town our clients are looking for Italian life in high definition, not just the next Instagram post.
All of Travelista Italia’s services are personalized. We meet with clients in person or virtually to consult and plan one of a kind Italian holidays. We also provide in person or virtual education services to ensure clients understand the history, geography, art, culture, and cuisine of the places they are visiting.
Consulting Services
Travelers may simply need a detailed list of personalized things to do, places to stay, and sites to visit. They may also have questions that are not readily available via online review sites, and guide books.
“I plan on driving in Tuscany. where is the best place to park for visiting Siena?”
“Are there any wineries with a view that we can visit without leaving the town?”
“I don’t want to rent a car or taxi, but still want to drive the Amalfi coast. What is the best option?”
Informed by our personal experiences and network of referral providers we can provide the advice and answers you need to elevate your travel experience.
