Custom Italian Adventures
LET'S PLAN YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE
Partner with me, Jennifer Coppolino, a personal Travel Advisor, to customize your perfect trip.
My niche is creating immersive travel experiences for clients. Events, programs, and accommodations that are unique to their needs, and not easily found in any guidebook. While I love sending clients to major cities, filled with important landmarks - my real passion, is developing itineraries in lesser known regions and towns. At heart, I am a true foodie, so ensuring that my clients have bellies filled with local delicacies throughout their trip is my favorite part.
SICILIAN SUNSHINE
With so many sun-drenched beaches to choose from, this unique island's vibes, landscapes, deserts and desserts elevate any summer holiday. Accommodations unlike elsewhere in Italy, are set among outstanding landscapes, making this island impossible to miss.
LIKE A LOCAL IN RIMINI
After living near this smaller but vibrant city with my now-husband, Massimiliano, it is my favorite area to help friends and clients visit. Sandy beaches, fritto misto and cobblestone borgos differentiate this very livable area in Italy from its more highly touristed neighbors.
THE BEST OF THE BEST
How can you visit Italy without seeing the Canals of Venice, Ceilings in Rome or Frescoes in Florence? While Italy's quintessential landmarks have been attracting visitors for literally centuries, your trip should be unlike anyone else's. Customizing an incredible journey through the country's highlights is my specialty.
BOLOGNA, VERONA AND AROUND
Smaller cities like Bologna, Verona, Ferrara, Ravenna and Padua often fall off of tours featuring just the major Italian highlights. However, their characteristics (ranging from true grit to ultimate sophistication), charm and cuisines should not be missed.
BUBBLES IN FRANCIACORTA
Dive into this lesser known wine region, perfectly positioned amongst northern Italian lakes, like Iseo and Garda. Taking a minimum of 18-months to make in the traditional "methode champenoise" style, this sparkling Italian wine is one of my absolute favorite beverages.
ROME IN A DAY
After studying in Rome while in college, it quickly became one of my favorite cities. Where antiquity and modernity meet, whether you have just a day (or a month, or a year), there is always tons to see (and eat) in the Eternal City.
AN AUTHENTIC AMALFI
Americans LOVE Amalfi. With so much to do, and so many tourists on the coast, relaxing and enjoying its natural beauty may prove more challenging than it seems. We can customize unique experiences in this part of the country that exceed expectations (and any other itinerary out there).
PUGLIA - ORCCHIETTE, OCTOPUS AND BEACHES
If the idea of octopus and burrata sandwiches, and wild beaches gets you excited, than Puglia is for you. This white-washed region's popularity has recently taken off, offering a growing number of accommodations ranging from rent-able trulli (cone-shaped farmhouses) to all-encompassing 5* resorts.
PONZA, A PERFECT DAY-TRIP
A small, and lesser known island in the Mediterranean, its colorful town and pristine blue/green surrounding sea, make Ponza an utterly breathtaking day-trip from Rome or an idyllic weekend getaway.
MARCHE & ROMAGNA
While living in Italy, my homes were in the regions of Marche and Romagna. These are two areas of the country that are not directly accessible by flight from the US; however, they boarder the Adriatic sea and are incredible. Offering affordable beaches, warm personalities and noteworthy seafood - they may wind up holding a very special place in your heart (like they do in mine).
BEYOND ITALIA...
While Italian travel is my passion, there are other fantastic nearby countries in Europe to venture to (for those clients trying to mix it up a bit!) I also help trip plan in places like Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, France, and anywhere else on the globe you may want to visit.
