Booking your own travel can be stressful, which is why Chiara loves helping her clients make their travel arrangements. Regardless of how much or little help you need, Chiara is on hand to take away the stress and leave you free to dream about your upcoming holiday, knowing that all the finer details are taken care of.
With a decade of experience, she can make the complicated simple and once booked a trip for a family of 5 that visited Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Cambodia in a single journey. Filled with cultural experience, sporting activity and more it included skiing, visiting local villages, schools and communities and indulging in Michelin star dining, all expertly curated by Chiara.
Everyone has a favourite destination and for Chiara it is her home country, Italy. “I love its history, its people and its hidden gems and knowing it from a very local point of view allows me to offer insider advice to clients who are travelling there”. For example, in Milan, Chiara suggests visiting the Navigli area for an aperitivo around 5pm, as “every bar will serve you a cocktail and a tasty and amazing spread of complimentary food with your drinks”.
Since becoming a mum, Chiara loves making sure that little ones are taken care of while they are away and always has suggestions of what they might enjoy if the destinations their family are visiting, such as a pedalo ride on the lake in Annecy or a crepe in the old town, “kids love it!”

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
I arranged a private Tuscan wine tour, where clients explored a scenic vineyard and tasted exclusive wines. They enjoyed a hands-on cooking class with the owner, learning traditional dishes, followed by a romantic dinner under the stars. It was a truly unforgettable, intimate experience in the heart of Tuscany.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
My favourite destination is a blend of two incredible countries: Italy, my home, for its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and timeless beauty; and Spain, for its vibrant culture, amazing food, and the warm people who make you feel like family. Both destinations are full of life and unforgettable experiences!
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I go above and beyond by tailoring each experience to my clients' unique desires, ensuring every detail is perfect. From securing exclusive access to hidden gems and crafting personalised itineraries to offering 24/7 support during their travels, I make sure they have unforgettable, seamless experiences every time.
Why do you love travel? Tell us what it means to you?
I love travel because it enriches my soul. It’s a chance to experience new cultures, connect with people, and immerse myself in the beauty and diversity of the world. Every journey brings a fresh perspective, sparking creativity and gratitude. Travel isn’t just about the destination; it’s about the experiences that shape who we are.
