As an avid and passionate traveler who had just moved to Italy, I was inspired (more like convinced by certain clients and friends of mine) to start my unique travel service. With my Davvero Italy, I create customized itineraries so you can travel deeper and discover Italy for REAL. 
A truly new concept with a few key principles at the core: Immersive, custom travel where everything is tailored to you - the most unique, authentic experience with real Italians done in a special way. 

Book an INTENSIVE Consultation call with me via Zoom (up to one hour) for only 30 euros. And upon booking, you will receive my Davvero Questionnaire which we will go over in greater detail during our call!

Is this your first time traveling to Italy? 

When do you arrive in Italy? And for how long - and where?

Do you have any food and drink allergies, intolerances or dislikes?

What’s your favorite hobby/activity/pastime? 

On a scale of 1 – 10, how important is coming into contact with the locals - and their culture - when traveling? 

What do you want most out of this trip? And what would make this trip most memorable for you?

Davvero Italy Guide to...Lucca

I live in Italy year-round so I am a real local who is “in the know” from first-hand experience, not just from TikTok. And because of that, I've developed quite the palate AND a curated list – something I am constantly testing, tweaking and adding to. I’ve been working it at so religiously in fact, that even the Italians use me as a point of reference now when it comes to where to eat and drink! 
I have insider information to some now internationally acclaimed spots as well as the underground, off-the-beaten-path, under-the-radar and still undiscovered spots, from the best pizza or street food joint to the most beloved 3rd generation family-owned & operated food shop.
I’ll make sure that you eat the right dishes by specialty and season in each city and region that you are visiting - sometimes even recommending what you should order at each restaurant based on your palate and preference if you’ll let me!
I can provide you with at least 3 options on where to eat and drink at any given mealtime (which in Italy is: breakfast, lunch, aperitivo and dinner), planning it around not only what you’ll be craving, but where you will be at that point of the day. i.e. if you have a Vatican tour that ends around aperitivo, I will ensure you have a few options for drinks and nibbles within a few blocks radius. An invaluable resource when visiting any new city or country!

What are your trip dates? And where are you staying when you are here in Italy? (the specific regions, cities and neighborhoods if you can share!)

Do you like cocktails? And if so, what are some of your favorite cocktails and spirits?

Are you an "adventurous eater"? 
i.e. would you be open to trying new things if it was a regional specialty?
