How long have you been an Italy Expert and what do you specialise in?
4.5 years. I love planning a multicentre holiday with lots of diverse and interesting locations rolled into one trip.
"I love the history and architecture of the cities but also love to be by the sea as I find it very relaxing. I have visited Tuscany many times and love the mix of cities, rural villages, and seaside towns you find there, and the food is amazing. Sharing my knowledge with customers and seeing what they enjoyed most after the holiday is the cherry on top."
1. What was your most memorable holiday meal?
Amazing ravioli caprese at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento.
2. What is the best thing about being in Italy?
I love Italy as the regions are all different. The stunning views of the Amalfi Coast are hard to beat but then a walk by the river in Florence at night is so romantic.
3. Where would you love to go next, and why?
Puglia is a bit of an unexplored hidden gem, I think it would be nice to see what the difference is between the other coasts I’ve been to, the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento. I would love to explore the little villages with the trulli houses, like in Alberobello.
4. Do you prefer visiting cities, coast or countryside, and why?
I love all areas of Italy as they are all so very different. But my absolute favourite region is Tuscany, particularly the countryside where you find beautiful historic villages like Monteriggioni and Volterra.
