My Story
A Sicilian girl in love with Italy but who also can't help but travel the world and marvel at every new place.
Travel Style
I'm passionate about local travel experiences to Italy and beyond and all my trip itineraries are custom designed for each traveler, curating every aspect from the most exclusive accommodations, to the unmissable highlights and hidden gems! Luxury Road trips, women groups, heritage tours to Sicily and honeymoons are my specialty, and I get very enthusiastic and curious when it comes to planning a new itinerary! When I'm not planning trips, you can find me out and about looking for unique new travel tips for my clients.

She helped us through all the bookings, even helped us when our son got sick and we had to cancel a few activities. Didn’t even charge for the same. And was checking us on every day for our stay and experience of the places. Thank you Antonella for planning these forever beautiful memories for us.

Antonella was an exceptional travel advisor. She organized our trip with great precision, taking care of every detail and providing us with an impeccable itinerary.
The plan also included visits outside Amsterdam, with a rental car and trips to discover other villages and cities across the beautiful Netherlands.
Thanks to her, we were never bored: each day was perfectly planned, and we always knew what to do at every moment, completely stress-free. Antonella was also always available and ready to provide support whenever needed.
As a note, this was a family trip with young children, and everything was handled magnificently. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a perfectly organized vacation!

My wife and me had the wonderful opportunity to travel with our 14 year old granddaughter for two weeks, We stayed the last part of our trip visiting Venice, Florence and Rome and we were fortunate to have Antonella's reference from a friend that organizes all his trips to Italy with her help. Antonella helped us design a program with tour guides, hotel recommendations, places we should visit and a very good set of restaurants to try. We had a wonderful time. The tour guides she booked were superb! Always on time, with full knowledge of everything we visited, kind and entertaining and at the same time always ready to show us the fastest lines in all entrances. The great program she designed for us was fully covered. I should also mention that all the hotels she recommended were the perfect fit for our needs. We thank her very much for a very professional job. We fully recommend Antonella and expect to plan more adventures with her in the future.

Antonella provides an exceptional services because she devoted enough time to understand the kind of travelers we are and focuses on hotels, restaurants and services that comply with our needs and desires. My wife and myself demand a quite high level of quality of services on the services we use and we are aware there are more expensive and we don’t hesitate to pay for them as long as they meet our expectations and in this last trip we really enjoyed the hotels and tours selected. We will continue to use Antonella services in the future due to all what I mentioned before.

Site Inspection at Minareto in Syracuse, Sicily
If you’re looking for a luxury hotel with authentic Mediterranean charm, Minareto is the perfect place! Imagine yourself immersed in a haven of peace and silence, in direct contact with nature, the sea, and the Sicilian sun—yet just steps away from the lively city of Siracusa. Picture waking up to the sound of birdsong and taking a morning swim before enjoying breakfast on the hotel terrace. Envision sipping your favorite cocktail on the terrace overlooking Ortigia as the sun sets before your eyes. I am a travel advisor based in Sicily, and yet my site inspection at Minareto in Syracuse truly surprised me with the extraordinary landscape in which this luxury resort is set.
