Your Italy. Your Way.
DISCOVER YOUR ITALY →
Personalized travel planning and small-group journeys for curious travelers who believe the best journeys are made with intention, connection, and discovery.
Italy has been part of my life for more than 25 years. I’ve lived there, studied there, eaten my way through nearly every region, learned the language, found its rhythms, gathered favorite places, and made lifelong connections along the way. The Italian Insider is my way of sharing that Italy with you—and helping you discover the right Italy for you.
The Italy I fell in love with — and keep discovering.
Let me show you my italy
Ciao, I'm Nicole
I fell for Italy more than 25 years ago and, honestly, I never really came back. I studied there, lived there, learned the language, married an Italian, worked in Italian food and hospitality, and ate my way through nearly every region.
Now that I’ve moved back to the U.S., I’ve realized that Italy was never just a chapter of my life. It shaped the way I see the world, the way I travel, the way I eat, and the way I connect with people. Italy is a part of who I am.
The Italian Insider is where I get to share that Italy with you. The places I love, the people I’ve met, the food I can’t stop talking about, and all the little details that can turn a good trip into your trip.
Piacere! So happy you're here!
LA MIA STORIA →
From a love of Italy, to a life in Italy.
See how it all began.
Your Italy Starts Here
There is no one right way to experience Italy—and your trip shouldn’t feel like someone else’s itinerary.
Whether you’re dreaming of your first Italian adventure or returning to discover somewhere new, I’ll help you figure out where to go, how to spend your time, and what’s actually worth making room for.
Together, we’ll turn all those tabs, lists, ideas, and “someday” plans into a thoughtful journey that feels personal, intentional, and uniquely yours.
LET'S START PLANNING
Personalized, thoughtful planning for a trip that feels like you.
Come experience the Italy I love.
These aren't just trips—they're invitations to slow down, look closer, and experience Italy beyond the highlights. I create intimate small-group journeys that blend beautiful places, exceptional food and wine, local culture, and plenty of room for the unexpected.
