About
A curios, enthusiastic traveler myself, I love creating unique experiences for my clients — and I curate every detail meticulously. Whether it's arranging a special surprise awaiting in their cruise stateroom or ensuring VIP treatment at their hotel, I want my clients to feel truly pampered during their dream trips! Also, as a Lake Como native, I love to share its hidden gems with visitors.
Travel style
Someone labeled me ‘Renaissance Traveler’, and I like it! I’m curious about beauty, culture, experiences, places, art, design. I love wandering off the beaten path for that chance encounter or a rare find. Sometimes I wish I was all eyes.

Francesca's reviews
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Francesca, our incredible travel advisor! She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our travels are seamless and stress-free. We are so happy she recommended Backstage Hotel Vernissage! We are so appreciative of her arranging our dinner reservations, transfers, and train tickets to handling any unexpected issues with ease, Francesca is always there, making sure everything runs smoothly. We’ve worked with her on multiple trips, and her expertise, professionalism, and warm, personal touch make every experience exceptional. Our extended family has used her services as well, and they all agree—she is simply the best! We truly could not organize our travels without her. If you’re looking for someone who takes the hassle out of travel and turns every journey into a dream, Francesca is the one! We consider her as family...an absolute Godsend! Thank you for another fabulous holiday!~
