About Alessandra

Write a review
Born in Turin, where I have lived most of my life and where I studied Leisure & Tourism, once I graduated I felt the strong need to have an experience abroad. So I moved to London, where I perfected my English at Southgate College and eventually lived there for 5 years. Where I also collaborated with Ryanair as a ground and air hostess for two years, I must admit with grueling working hours! The emerald green of London, as well as the monarchy, have always fascinated me, even the rain has its own beauty! I started to love the Sunday Roast Beef lunch and afternoon tea times too! Histrionic but very attached to my roots, today I live in my beloved Umbria where my roots are and where I belong! I love nature, immersing myself in the woods, taking long walks refreshes me, but also spending entire afternoons in the various contemporary museums is very passionate to me!

Alessandra's Expertise

My expertise covers all corners of Italy including the expectational landscapes of our islands that will enchant you like Sardinia and Sicily. I specialize in exploring the lakes regions too like Lago di Como or Lago di Garda! Water is my element, boat tours too! Being in Umbria right in the center in the green hearth of Italy is an added value and obviously we can take more care of assisting our customers! I know how to design and offer packages that are affordable and can be tailored to suit your budget while still providing the proper Italian adventure of a lifetime. I also have expertise designing custom tours for particular needs or groups, for singles and even honeymoon! We also have amazing itineraries for families with young children! Our last group was from Mexico they were 36 in total it has been demanding but so much fun! I am here ready to help you having the best experience in my unique country!

Best Travel Experience

On one of my trips, I was in Mexico, on a rainy day I decided to go and explore around my village, I ended up in a Padi diving center where they offered me the most beautiful experience of my life to date. I swam with four dolphins! It was an unforgettable experience! I was with them in the water doing stunts, they pushed me out of the water as if I were a feather, it really felt like a dream come true! I didn't want to get out of there! I even kissed them at the end! Truly unique!

Why is Alessandra the right travel expert?

I love my country, our food, our wine and most of all our history and our art! Combining my passions with my work in Taste and Slow Italy is simply idyllic and exceptional! Being a travel designer is exciting every single day. I'm so proud to be Italian and while I communicate to my clients from all over the globe about the experiences that they can have and the wonderful places they could visit in Italy, I still get goosebumps and this for me is pure passion! Do not forget that either my colleagues or I have tried and tested every hotel, restaurant, and experience contained in our itineraries. We've been there, seen, tried all the experiences and approved it. In other words, you'll be staying in the very best hotels and accommodations available. What's more, we'll be selecting our top guides and to take you around the country taking care of the logistics we have the best selected drivers’ company around! So, all you must do is just enjoy take pictures and fill your eyes and memories with the beauty of wonderful Italian scenery!

A Perfectly Tailored Italian Adventure

I recently traveled to Italy with this travel agency, visiting Florence, Milan, Pisa, San Gimignano, Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, and Lucca. The trip's highlights were the breathtaking city buildings and structures and the rich history surrounding every corner. The agency provided outstanding communication during the planning phase and throughout the trip. They helped us customize the experience to match our interests, and their availability whenever we had questions or needed clarifications was invaluable. The tour guides were exceptional—knowledgeable, and engaging. They brought history to life in such a way that we found ourselves researching more about the places and historical figures we learned about. The drivers were always punctual, and the accommodations perfectly matched our request for small, local stays, adding a personal touch to the experience. Planning a trip to an unfamiliar destination can be overwhelming, but the agency made it seamless and enjoyable. Their expertise and ability to tailor the experience to our preferences set them apart. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to explore Italy in a meaningful and stress-free way.

Italy Review!

Our trip to Italy was absolutely fabulous! The itinerary that was put together for us captured everything that we were looking for. Culture, history, local attractions, food, adventure, romance, and relaxation.
