Travel style
Gastronomy-lured traveler and Europe romantic, a balance of exploration and leisure is my blueprint for a great trip. Growing up in a diverse family, I adore local culture and authentic experiences, especially those involving cuisine and people.
I'm usually found with my travel partner husband getting to know the owners of a local 'tasca' while indulging in their house-made vermouth. My ideal travel day involves a spa and peaceful sunset after an active day tasting my way around a charming historic center.
For me, the highlight of traveling is meeting fellow travelers and the locals.

Amalia is a professional travel coordinator and serves her client well. Her vast knowledge, ability to determine a client's particular needs and wants, and then providing her experience and contacts to make the best recommendations is appreciated. I have recommended her to others, and will use her services again.

We just adored the room in this hotel, the location, and the spectacular view. So glad Amalia suggested it as it met our need for history, beauty, and location - and the room was quite romantic too.
