Budget Range: What is your estimated budget for this trip? (Total trip budget in Euros, not including international airfare).
The fully customized itineraries I create—including boutique accommodations, transfers, and curated experiences—typically fall between €800 and €1,500+ per person, per day, varying by season, region, and the experiences you’re most excited about. My planning service includes a $1,000 USD travel design fee. This covers the in-depth research, customization, and expertise that goes into designing your bespoke Italian journey. This fee is separate from trip costs and is required to begin the planning process.
Dietary restrictions, mobility considerations, special interests, anything that will help me create the perfect experience for you.

LAMPARELLI

I’ve been exploring Italy for more than 30 years, and today I split my time between the U.S. and my home in Lucca (Tuscany).

If you’re feeling overwhelmed planning your trip, you’re not doing anything wrong.

Italy just works differently — and most people don’t know where to start.

I help you cut through the noise so you can build a trip that feels like you.

I make authentic Italy possible — and a lot simpler — for travelers who want more than a checklist.
