"We had an amazing honeymoon, thank you so much for organising a great break! We were in Rome, Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Everything went according to plan. Our driver was waiting at the airport on arrival and got us to Leon's Place in good time. What a beautiful hotel with amazing decor, we really enjoyed our stay and used an open top bus to get round for three days! The high speed train to Naples was great. We got a cab at Naples to Chiaja de Charme, which was a good thing, as the drivers are mad, especially those on scooters! The location of Chiaja de Charme was ideal, not as grand as Leon's Place, but a perfect base for a short stay. We wandered up the main shopping street and also had a lovely evening meal down by the harbour/castle. We also took advantage of the open top tours for the best part of half a day, and enjoyed the complimentary pastries in the late afternoon/evening at Chiaja de Charme! Picking up the car at the airport was stress free, and the drive down to Relais Blu through Sorrento was straight forward, although we wondered if we'd ever reach Relais Blu. When we did - wow - stunning, spectacular views, amazing place, and even the photos on their website which were fantastic don't do the place justice. By far the best hotel we have ever stayed at - helped by great weather for the first three days there and the amazing backdrop and view of Capri (which we visited and enjoyed). They looked after us, a bottle of bubbly in our room on arrival, chef's specials lined up on silver spoons on a slate plate, along with great advice where to go, where to eat and how to make the best of our stay. We spent a lot of time in Sorrento, which is lovely, and also visited Pompei, took a drive over to Positano and Amalfi, and left with a sad heart. All in all, a truly memorable experience, fantastic memories (plus over 1500 photos) and unforgettable, a perfect honeymoon break, so a massive thank you for organising and advising. We've already decided to return to Rome and Relais Blu in the future, and would not hesitate to come back to you to help with our itinerary."

"Antonio booked our honeymoon in 2012 and we had an amazing visit to Rome, Naples and Sorrento. He was the obvious choice to organise our 10th wedding anniversary and came up absolute trumps with an itinerary including Naples and Ischia. Two amazing hotels, the Caruso Place bang in the heart of Naples with shops, restaurants, attractions within very close walking distance. On the stunningly beautiful island of Ischia the Botania Relais Hotel and Spa was amazing and exceptional on every level. Beautiful setting and great facilities, wonderful pool, restaurants on site, food excellent and very helpful staff (as were the team at Caruso Place). Grazie mille Antonio!"

"We have just returned from a holiday in Sorrento and Ischia, organised by Antonio/ExpertoItaly. We went away to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, so although we have spent many family vacations in and around Sorrento and know the area very well, we sought Antonio’s help to arrange something really special. He succeeded! Antonio listened carefully to our objectives, carefully steered us away from ideas that wouldn’t have worked and suggested things that we would not have thought of ourselves - from attending a wonderfully entertaining Three Tenors concert in Sorrento to staying at the enchanting Botania Relais & Spa on Ischia. He was always readily available before and during the holiday to discuss and adjust details. For example, when we decided - at late notice - to spend the final day of the holiday in Naples, en route from Ischia to the airport, Antonio arranged for us to leave our luggage in storage at a hotel there while we explored the city. Congratulazioni, Antonio - hai colpito la palla fuori dal parco!"

"Antonio and Expert to Italy planned, organised and executed a truly excellent and magical holiday experience for us. They understood our brief, suggested a wonderful itinerary that met our brief completely and all of the destinations exceeded our already high expectations (this was our 3rd holiday with Expert to Italy). We particularly appreciated the following: - Local insight and understanding to suggest places we had never heard of and that gave us a real taste of Italy - Commitment to proactively suggest and amend details of our holiday even when it was fully booked and paid for - The personal relationship Antonio clearly has with the hotels we visited - Attention to detail and all arrangements considered to ensure we could relax to the maximum We thank you for a wonderful holiday experience."

"Antonio was a huge help in planning our big trip to Italy. He listened to what we wanted, what was important to us and factored it all into the plan. We had the best trip. The hotels were lovely and well located. Throughout our trip Antonio was available on WhatsApp if we had any queries or needed advice. We definitely had a better holiday because of his support.
