Are you thinking about a special trip to Italy, something off the beaten path? We know that many people have traveled to Italy as tourists and have seen the incredible sites in Rome, Florence and Venice. While visiting these amazing cities is definitely something everyone should experience, we would like to take you beyond the tourist experience and introduce you to a part of Italy that most will never know. Let’s connect and talk about how we can help you live the authentic Italian life, for a few days or weeks, or maybe even a lifetime!
