Travel to Italy!

"...Doumina's knowledge and her instincts to choose, were a gift to me and the others for our travel in Italy. My best advice, don't leave home without her!"

Doumina

My passion for Italy inspired me to live here.

My discoveries inspired me to share.

The landscape of each region, typical and special foods, small wine productons, the cast of special Italian characters, and beautiful architecture affect me in the same way I hope to affect you, Perhaps even to change and re-invigorate you, and give you a new perspective about life. To approach it in a new and different way. The Italian way!

Thank You for your recognition on Trip Advisor!

Cortona and her 4 Neighbors
From Hannibal to Henry James, Cortona and her 4 lovely neighbors are worth a visit. Boutique travel to Italy can take you there with boutique travel companies like The Enthusiastic Traveler. With private guides you can see these treasures in a way that Henry James saw them.

A country full of surprises when you travel to Italy
The Enthusiastic Traveler says, "Italy is more than just pasta..."

My guests say:

"Doumina gives you an up-close insiders view of the treasures surrounding the enchanted hill town of Cortona. You like olive oil? Meet a farmer who picks his olives, and the man who presses them. Art your thing? Listen to the passionate sermons of her guide, and real-life descendant of Cortona's own Luca Signorelli. Want to eat the way the heartiest Tuscans do? For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will. Guaranteed."
