Remarkable Italy Travel
Italy, designed for you.
The trip worth taking.
Lisa spent a year of her childhood in Florence and has been returning ever since. Every Italy trip she designs carries that same sense of wonder, and of coming home.
Italy isn’t one trip — it’s the right version of Italy for who you are.
The Amalfi Coast for honeymooners. Tuscany for a milestone birthday. Rome when the kids are finally old enough for the Colosseum to mean something. Bologna for people who travel to eat. The wrong version of Italy — the wrong week, the wrong base — is a beautiful disappointment. The right one is why you’ll fall in love with Italy.
As a child living in Florence, Lisa played in parks that smelled of pine nuts, tasted olive oil just pressed from the harvest, and learned the mythology behind the art in churches and museums. That Italy never left her. Today she brings the same sense of discovery to every trip she designs, and she’s always on your side of the table, never the vendor’s.
The family trip, the girls trip, the Italy you’ve been talking about for years.
i.
The Family Trip
Italy with kids, at any age. Not a museum tour with reluctant teenagers, but days paced for the whole family: a guide who brings the ruins to life, a gelato stop planned into every afternoon, and a castle in the countryside where they can run.
ii.
Women's Travel
Naples for the catacombs and the Spanish Quarter. Bologna for the food and the jazz clubs. Cinque Terre for the trails and the aperitivo overlooking the sea. Whether it's your closest friends or a trip on your own, Italy built around the meal, the walk, and the place nobody else is going.
iii.
The Milestone Celebration
Tuscany for a milestone birthday, a significant anniversary, or a group gathered for something worth celebrating. The right villa, the right vineyard, and a private chef who turns dinner into the evening everyone remembers.
iv.
The Honeymoon
The Amalfi Coast. A private boat, a cliffside dinner, a lemon farm in the hills. Italy does romance better than anywhere on earth, and every moment is designed for just the two of you.
If you know where you want to go, we’ll design the trip around it. If you don’t, that’s exactly what the first call is for.
Begin PlanningA few we keep going back to.
01CampaniaAmalfi Coast
Sorrento as your base, Capri by boat, Ravello's gardens at dawn before anyone else is there. The coast at its best means a trusted guide, a boat captain who knows the hidden coves, and a room with a view worth every penny.
Sample itinerary
02Central ItalyTuscany
The art of Florence, the cypress-lined roads of Chianti, the medieval squares of Siena. Tuscany is a region you taste as much as you see, one long lunch, one glass of wine, and one hill town at a time.
Sample itinerary
03VenetoVenice
St. Mark's and the Doge's Palace, Murano glassblowing, Harry's Bar, and a day trip to Verona for Juliet's balcony. Venice is at its most beautiful early in the morning and late at night, when the crowds are gone and the canals are yours.
Sample itinerary
04LombardyMilan & Lake Como
The Duomo, The Last Supper, the Navigli canals at aperitivo hour. Then trade the city for a day on Lake Como, where the ferry between Bellagio and Varenna is one of the most beautiful rides in Italy.
Sample itinerary
05LiguriaCinque Terre
Five villages painted in every shade of the sunset, stacked above the sea. Hike the coastal trail between them, trade your boots for a boat, and end the day with fresh pesto and a glass of local white wine as the lights come on across the harbor.
Sample itinerary
06CampaniaNaples
Naples is loud, lively, and utterly alive, set on a sparkling bay with Vesuvius looming over it. Walk the ancient streets of Pompeii, hike to the volcano's crater, and finish with the pizza that started it all.
Sample itinerary
07Emilia-RomagnaBologna
Bologna feeds you better than anywhere. Between meals, climb the Two Towers, find an underground jazz club, and take a day trip to Parma for prosciutto and parmesan straight from the source.
Sample itinerary
08LazioRome
The Colosseum, the Vatican, the Forum — and then the quiet neighborhoods, the markets, the trattoria that's been there since before anyone can remember. Rome rewards the traveler who slows down, whether it's your first visit or your fifth.
Sample itinerary
09ApuliaPuglia
Puglia is the Italy many travelers haven't found yet: baroque Lecce, the trulli of Alberobello, the white town of Ostuni above the sea. Easy by train, warm in every sense, and perfect for a first solo trip.
Sample itinerary
From a perfectly located hotel in Florence to a private wine tasting at Castello di Brolio that felt like it was designed just for us, every detail was thoughtful and seamless. The highlight no one could have found on their own was a tucked-away lunch spot in Greve — stunning views, incredible food, not a tourist in sight.
Lisa handled everything: car rental, lodging, International Driving Permit, restaurant recommendations in Florence, and a general orientation to traveling abroad that made us feel genuinely prepared before we left. When we ran into a problem with the rental car in Tuscany mid-trip, she was reachable, calm, and helped us problem-solve without having to figure it out alone in a foreign country. That moment alone was worth every penny.
This was our first European vacation with our children (ages 6 and 8), and from start to finish everything felt thoughtful, seamless, and incredibly well-planned. None of us wanted to leave. This trip exceeded all expectations, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Remarkable Travel Design to anyone looking for a thoughtful, high-touch travel experience.
