Profile details
About
Both a super luxe and a "wow, I discovered the greatest pensione for $250/night" type of traveler. I find special spots off-the-beaten-path, from designer-owned boutique hotels to over-the-top luxury properties. I create customized itineraries that will enhance your journey.
Travel style
A global traveler with a taste for quiet poolside naps balanced by museum visits, cooking classes and boat excursions. I value an easy day relaxing and reading in a tranquil space as much as a day with a private guide visiting a private museum. I love to get lost in small towns and wander to discover special boutiques and eateries. No plans – "il dolce far niente" (the sweetness of doing nothing). No matter what, my day always starts with a fantastic breakfast spread!
