You've been dreaming about your Italy trip for months — maybe years.
You can picture it: sipping wine at a vineyard in Tuscany, wandering through a local market, exploring at your own pace. A relaxed trip. An authentic trip. The kind of Italy experience that feels entirely yours.
How do you get from place to place?
Which train routes make sense?
Is your itinerary realistic, or are you trying to cram too much in?
How do you find accommodations that will actually work for your needs — especially if you have mobility concerns or want to avoid crowds?
You're stuck between the dream and the execution. And the overwhelm is keeping you from enjoying the anticipation.
A personalized itinerary based on your travel dates, interests, pace, and budget
Realistic routes and timing — regions and home bases that flow seamlessly, with travel days that actually make sense
Complete logistics guidance — trains, private transfers, rental cars, or drivers (whatever fits your travel style)
Handpicked accommodations — curated for your needs, whether that's accessibility, location, authentic character, or avoiding tourist crowds
Curated experiences and restaurants — cooking classes, wine tastings, local markets, neighborhood trattorias (not tourist traps)
A beautifully designed digital itinerary — easy to follow during your trip, with direct booking links for everything
One round of refinements after delivery, so we can adjust anything that doesn't feel quite right
Know what kind of trip you want — relaxed, authentic, unrushed — but you're overwhelmed by how to make it happen
Need all the logistics figured out so you can finally stop worrying and start enjoying the anticipation
Want expert guidance on realistic routes and timing that won't leave you exhausted
Need accommodations that work for your specific needs (mobility, location preferences, avoiding crowds)
Value having everything organized and completely booked for you.
Don't want every minute scheduled — you want structure with flexibility, not a rigid tour bus itinerary
Schedule a brief 15-20 minute call so we can discuss your trip, answer any questions, and make sure this is the right fit for what you need.
After our call, you'll receive your service agreement, secure payment link, and a detailed questionnaire about your trip.
You'll tell me about your travel dates, interests, pace preferences, budget, mobility considerations, and what you're dreaming about for this trip.
Once your questionnaire is complete, we'll schedule a longer call to discuss your vision in detail and clarify any questions.
This is where I learn what matters most to you — so I can design something that feels entirely yours.
I'll create your complete day-by-day plan — routes, accommodations, experiences, restaurants, logistics, everything.
You'll receive your beautifully designed digital itinerary with all the details organized and easy to follow.
We'll have one round of refinements to adjust anything that doesn't feel quite right.
My team in Italy and I handle all of the bookings so you can relax and look forward to your trip.
"Amy designed the most thoughtful itinerary for us. Every stay, route, and experience worked perfectly together—and the digital itinerary made it so easy to follow along during the trip."
"I was overwhelmed trying to figure out how to get from Florence to the Amalfi Coast with stops in between. Amy mapped out the entire route with realistic timing, found us perfect accommodations, and I finally felt like I could breathe. Once it was all planned, I could actually start enjoying thinking about the trip."
