Cilento

Already the name itself sounds wonderful. Lento in Italian means slow, while silente means quiet. Both words perfectly describe the area of Cilento.

Puglia

Trulli, terra rossa, dry stone walls, millions of olive trees, white-washed towns, turquoise bays, pizzica pizzica dance, primitivo wines and so much more.

Procida

Procida is my favourite island in the Bay of Naples, stunning, colourful, with a real Southern Italian vibe, still under the radar of most travelers.

Tuscany

Tuscany is one of Italy's most visited regions, with a great variety of landscapes, hidden hilltop towns, uncountable treasures of art and exciting wines.

I am inviting you to travel slow in Italy. Stay in a hilltop farmhouse surrounded by olive trees, an apartment in a cute medieval village or a villa with seaview. Live like a local. Get to know your Italian neighbours, the baker, the butcher, the old ladies selling zucchini flowers at the market, the men playing cards at the bar. Walk, bike, learn some Italian, pick up local habits like breakfast at the bar or siesta after a lazy lunch. Just go to the piazza and watch Italian life happen.

It’s been 19 years that I have been travelling around Italy, as an Intrepid Travel tour guide with groups, as a destination specialist with journalists and film crews, with my family and with friends to have fun, and to work on my own travel business. With tens of thousands of Italian photos on my hard drive, uncountable stories and adventures in my memory and wonderful feelings in my heart, I have been planning this blog for years. I want to share my stories and my passion for all things Italian, show my favourite photos, give you inspiration if you are travelling to this amazing country and as a travel expert of Italy help you organise your trip, do your bookings and make the most of your holiday.
