    Travel Advisor

    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?

    For my foodie clients, one of the most amazing experiences I arranged was a private cooking class at a vineyard in Italy. They learned to create traditional dishes with a local chef, paired with local wines from the vineyard. They couldn't stop raving about it!

    What are your favourite destinations and why?

    My favourite destination is Italy – it's where I come from, and I'm deeply passionate about it. I know the country inside and out - whether it's exploring hidden gems or enjoying the stunning landscapes, Italy always feels like home to me.

    How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

    I go above and beyond by re-checking all details with suppliers before my clients depart, ensuring everything is in place. While they're away, I stay available to assist with any needs or unforeseen circumstances - I like my clients to feel 100% supported, always.

    Where is still on your bucket list?

    South America is high on my bucket list! I’d love to explore Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia- from Machu Picchu to Patagonia, the Uyuni Salt Flats, and vibrant cities like Buenos Aires.
