Eleonora Arrigoni
Born and raised in Milan, I graduated in Tourism Sciences and Local Community.
Passionate about the travel industry from a young age, I explored the world of luxury hospitality between Dubai and Milan, working as a guest relations and concierge agent in 5-star hotels. After obtaining a Master in Management of Culture and Artistic Heritage, I worked as a marketing and communication specialist at Dove Viaggi, Corriere della Sera’s travel magazine
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in Tuscany because I consider it a land complete with everything one needs to live: there are great art cities like Florence and Pisa, but also medieval towns like Siena and San Gimignano, and areas where you can get lost among the hills and good wine, such as Chianti and the Val D'Orcia. There are also beautiful coastal areas like Forte dei Marmi and Castiglione della Pescaia.
I am specialized also in Southern Italy, specifically in the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. I consider them lands of a thousand colors and scents, to be visited at least once in a lifetime"
How did you get involved in travel?
"Since I was i child, my father passed me the passion about travelling. He has been my travel companion in Europe and across the ocean. Together, we visited Greece, Paris, Budapest and then ventured to Kenya for a beautiful safari in the Tsavo Reserve. We then flew across the ocean to New York, Miami and Cuba. Together, we took a wonderful road trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas, passing through Santa Barbara, Santa Monica and Los Angeles. With him, I also visited the East thanks to a beautiful trip to Hong Kong, where I admired avant-garde places and remote corners. I visited Italy, instead, with my mother and also on my own. Sicily and Cinque Terre will always remain in my heart, as well as Sardinia with its barren and unspoiled nature. Rome and Naples have been among my most recent destinations and I have appreciated them especially for the colors, flavors and warmth of the people I have encountered"

Eleonora did a fantastic job for us. She put together a trip for us knowing we had one member of our party who had limited mobility, she put together the perfect itinerary for us.
Also we had some needs during the trip and Eleonora was on top of everything, quick communication and took care of our every need.
Not sure how it could have been better.
Thank you Eleonora!
So impressed!
