Travel with Nada! More than a vacation, a true Italian experience.
Being from Italy I have chosen locations that stand out for their beauty and historical importance, but are not necessarily where the "cattle tours" tread. I like to define my trips as "tours for people who don't go on tours". Why? Because on any of my tours you will never feel like a tourist!
My trips are about focusing on a particular region of Italy and its local traditions, cuisine, culture, getting to know the people, artisans, and family businesses that in my mind, are the true treasures of my homeland! Rather than moving from one town to another, than another, checking in and out of hotels on a whirlwind 'tour de force', we have a home base in a historical property from where we take daytrips and enjoy plenty of free time immersed in the breath-taking sites that surround us.
Whether you are a history buff, an artist or photographer, a curious explorer, a wine enthusiast or food lover, a passionate shopper, you can have it your way, rediscovering the pleasures of simple and rich living, while enjoying a stress-free vacation. Get to know the places we visit through local families who've been passing on culinary traditions for generations. Join me on these unique journies with small groups of 12-15 max. travelers on the quest to eat memorable food, enjoy great wines, and celebrate the splendors of my beloved Italia!
Buon viaggio!
