Francesca Varisco

Best travel agent I've ever worked with! She'll be our only one from now on. Highly recommend Francesca! She plans out every detail and is very responsive and attentive throughout the process and the trip itself.

Francesca helped plan our entire 2-3 week trip to Barcelona, Venice, Florence, Elba, and Sorrento. In the initial stages of planning, she and I spoke for 1-2 hours about me and my family...our likes/dislikes, must see/do list, and financing. She then came up with an itinerary of activities, tours, places to stay, and restaurant options for eating. We then discussed the options she had presented us, and she put together the perfect trip for our family! She booked everything from train tickets, hotels, private car transfers, boat rental, tours, activities/shows, and even made all of our restaurant reservations! She put it altogether with all of our vouchers and tickets into an app that we could look at and see detailed plans and descriptions of each day. There were even maps that showed walking routes from our hotels to meeting points for excursions and restaurants. She thought of every detail and emailed us each morning to remind us of what times we needed to leave and things like "make sure to bring some water as it will be hot today." She was available to us throughout our trip and responded immediately when we had a question (which was only once about a hotel charge discrepancy that she took care of right away.) I will definitely be using Francesca for my future travel, and I highly recommend her to everyone!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Violino d'Oro in Venice, Italy! The experience was nothing short of spectacular, thanks in large part to my outstanding travel advisor Francesca. From the moment we began planning our trip, she was in close contact with the hotel management and concierge, ensuring that every detail of our stay was meticulously arranged. Francesca went above and beyond, organizing a series of unforgettable experiences for us. She planned wonderful excursions, a bespoke walking tour that showcased the hidden gems of Venice, a fascinating glassmaking class, and made reservations at some of the best restaurants in the city. Every aspect of our itinerary was thoughtfully curated to provide a seamless and memorable vacation. The hotel itself was stunning and well-located, providing the perfect base for our adventures. The staff at Violino d'Oro were incredibly attentive and accommodating, clearly informed by our travel advisor of our preferences and needs. This trip exceeded all expectations, largely due to the exceptional efforts of our travel advisor. Francesca's dedication to creating an amazing experience was evident in every interaction and arrangement. I cannot recommend her services highly enough and will certainly be relying on her expertise for future travels. Thank you to both Violino d'Oro and my incredible travel advisor Francesca for an unforgettable stay in Venice!

I would rate my booking experience with Francesca as outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and efficient throughout the entire process. Francesca took the time to understand my preferences and needs, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned. Her friendly and professional demeanor made the experience pleasant and stress-free. Thanks to her expertise, my stay at the Grand Hotel Victoria was flawless from start to finish. I highly recommend Francesca's services and look forward to working with her again in the future.
