Travel Concierge Services

Hello! My name is Alexandra Martella. I developed a passion for travel the first time I embarked on a European adventure with my parents when I was just 10 years old. Planning trips is almost as enjoyable to me as the actual travel experience.

Italy is one of my favorite travel destinations.  From historical sites to beautiful artwork and landscapes, there’s something for everyone.  The friendly locals and the world-renowned food and wine make it an unforgettable experience.

If planning a trip to Italy, for pleasure and/or to obtain your Italian citizenship, feels overwhelming, I am here to help. Wouldn’t you rather get Italian travel advice from someone who has lived and traveled extensively in Italy?

Here is an example of what we can discuss to create the perfect itinerary for you:

What’s your budget?

What cities/regions should you go to and in what order?

How many nights to stay in each location

The best way to book airfare, car rentals and train tickets

How to book accommodations and how Italian accommodations differ from those in the US

How to decide what activities/tours to see and do and how to get tickets

General recommendations on tipping, culture, ATMs, where and how to make dinner reservations etc.
