Our Specialty: The Heritage & Romance of Italy
Why trust an advisor who sees Italy as a heritage journey?
Italy is more than a dream destination to me; it’s a part of my DNA. My Italian roots drive me to look past the typical tourist traps to find the "Bel Paese" that truly welcomes our community. I’ve dedicated myself to researching the nuances of Italian culture, vetting the most inclusive local partners, and finding the hidden piazzas where LGBTQ+ couples can celebrate their love without a second thought. I don't just book a trip; I curate a love story rooted in history and safety.
-
"What is the best way for a gay couple to experience the Amalfi Coast?" This region is the crown jewel of Italian romance, but it requires an insider’s eye to navigate. I specialize in the cliffside boutique hotels of Positano and the sophisticated, private villas of Capri.
Beyond the Postcard: I focus on experiences that feel intimate—think private sunset sails around the Faraglioni rocks or hidden lemon groves in Sorrento for a quiet, romantic lunch. I vet every boat captain and hotel manager to ensure you’re treated with the high-end respect you deserve while you soak in that Mediterranean magic.
-
"Is Puglia a safe and queer-friendly destination for a honeymoon?" Puglia is my personal obsession. It’s the "heel of the boot" and home to some of the most authentic heritage experiences in Italy. It’s incredibly welcoming, especially if you know where to look.
The Masseria Experience: I specialize in booking Masserie—ancient, fortified farmhouse estates turned into luxury boutique hotels. Whether it’s the white-washed charm of Ostuni or the baroque beauty of Lecce, I’ve done the research to find the estates that are vocal about their inclusivity. Imagine private olive oil tastings and pasta-making classes with local experts who celebrate your story.
-
"How do I find a gay-friendly vineyard tour in Tuscany?" Romance and wine are synonymous with Tuscany, but navigating rural areas as an LGBTQ+ couple can feel uncertain. I take that uncertainty away.
The Curated Pour: I’ve vetted specific, inclusive vineyards near Siena and San Gimignano where the focus is on the craft and the connection. Whether you want a private art tour through the Uffizi in Florence or a villa stay overlooking the rolling hills, I ensure your Tuscan escape is sophisticated, safe, and deeply immersive.
-
"Is Rome a good choice for an LGBTQ+ romantic getaway?" Rome is a masterpiece of history, and I love helping couples find the modern, vibrant pulse within the ancient walls. I focus on high-end stays near the Spanish Steps and the stylish, inclusive bars of the Monti neighborhood.
Heritage & History: I can arrange private, queer-focused history tours that highlight the "hidden" stories of the city’s past. From the Vatican to the Colosseum, I make sure you see the icons through a lens that feels personal and relevant to your own journey.
-
"Is Venice safe for a gay honeymoon?" Venice isn't just safe—it’s a city where identity has been celebrated and explored behind masks for centuries. I focus on the more authentic, quieter neighborhoods like Cannaregio and Dorsoduro, where you can escape the day-trippers and find the true soul of the lagoons.
A Different View of the Canals: Forget the crowded tourist routes. I love setting my clients up with private, queer-led history tours that uncover Venice's fascinating "hidden" past—from the stories of identity at Palazzo Grimani to the legacy of the legendary Peggy Guggenheim. Whether it’s a romantic sunset gondola ride or a water taxi to the colorful island of Burano, I ensure your Venetian escape feels personal, private, and deeply historic.
