Travel style

I am truly happiest while adventuring in Lake Como, discovering new places or just sipping a Negroni on the lakeshore. I love to find hidden gems in my home town and all around Italy and can help you create unforgettable memories for family members of all ages.

Chiara 's reviews

Chiara found for us the one and only right spot in Pantelleria.

Chiara has been super professional and kind: she was very helpful in selection and reservation phase, but she was really fundamental and decisive and brilliant in facing (and solving) a problem we had just few hours before starting my stay. I warmly recommend Chiara to anyone and I myself will call her for my next experiences.
