Travel Concierge Services

Ciao! My name is Alexandra Martella. I got bit by the travel bug the first time I traveled to Europe with my parents at age 10. I love to plan trips almost as much as I love to take them.

Italy is one of my favorite places to travel. There are historical sites and beautiful artwork everywhere you look, the people are friendly and the food and wine is the best in the world.

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 in Italy?

Please contact me with questions or to schedule a 30 minutes travel planning consultation via Zoom.

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

How 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, how to make dinner reservations etc.
