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 has been amazing through this whole trip - with planning and suggestions. She is very responsive and helped us through all the questions we had as we were traveling with kids.

Amalia was amazing through this whole experience . She had given us a few options to choose from and this made the most sense based on location and with 2 bedrooms.

Amelia listened to our request and did an excellent job preparing options for our honeymoon stay, anticipating needs (meals, travel, price), and communicating differences between each stay. She was prompt and clear in her communication, making our selection and stay easy!

Amalia booked this wonderful hotel after my short visit to Melide and after finishing the Camino from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. It was a very welcoming and comfortable experience to rest and do sightseeing. I initially questioned if it would be a good choice since my outfits were all 'pelegrino' style and the hotel described itself as a luxury hotel. Amalia called them and asked them if they welcomed pelegrinos and reassured me that I'd be fine.
