Are you an active traveller? When dreaming of your next luxury vacation to Italy, many people think of the incredible food, wine, landscapes, sea, and beaches. But lets not forget the great outdoors! Italy is home to some fantastic hikes. Whether you are traveling as a family or on your honeymoon, let us at the Italian Concierge craft your dream itinerary.

A magical place full of stunning snow capped mountains, valleys, world class skiing.. and that’s just the start. Sud Tyrol, located in northern Italy, is a fabulous destination all year round. The countryside is gorgeous, spotted with castles, rolling hills, picturesque landscapes and medieval towns. Gourmet food is easy to find, with dozens of Michelin star restaurants, and fantastic local wine to boot.

Want to escape the crowds during a visit to Italy? Like the outdoors?

Last month, the Italian Concierge featured an article on the Cinque Terre proposing new restrictions to limit its number visitors. While the new measures have not yet been put into place (as with all things in Italy, this will take some time), it’s always a good time to talk about the great hikes in the area!

We are pleased to announce that Travel + Leisure has selected Joyce Falcone the Italian Concierge to be included in their 2015 “A-List” of travel agents specializing in Italy. This prestigious award is one of the highest honors in the travel industry. This year's award marks the 7th consecutive year that Falcone has been named. Auguri!
