Italian Itineraries has always been a unique boutique villa rental business offering one on one, personal service to our clients. We have an excellent knowledge of Italy, gained through 27 years of residence there and regular trips for inspection and selection of our lovely homes. In an ever-increasing and crowded market, we aim to be a cut above the rest. Our excellent reputation has been gained in 17 years of successful business with hundreds of happy holiday-makers. Our first-hand knowledge of the properties we represent is undeniably a great asset and invaluable in helping you, our client, select the most suitable property.

The company, which I founded in Sydney in 1993, has seen a remarkable growth over the years. We have weathered the downturn in travel and tourism following the events of September 11, SARS, the war in Iraq, the GFC and the many uncertainties which face world travellers today. This, surely, is thanks to our well-established presence on the villa rental market in Australia and the USA, where we were based for five years and where the company has gained a reputation as one of the finest in the business.

Italian Itineraries is present on the Internet with two large sites, one of which –
www.italian-itineraries.com.au – presents a special selection of smaller, more moderately-priced accommodation. Our larger and more important properties are featured on our original site, www.italian-itineraries.com .

Our charming holiday homes are located in the most beautiful parts of Italy: the Lakes area, the Riviera, Tuscany and Umbria, the Amalfi Coast and the most important art cities: Rome, Florence, Siena and Venice. Each property is selected as if I were renting it myself. My standards are always very exacting, the quality to price ratio is very high and I believe we do have the finest collection of homes under the Tuscan and Italian sun! Italy continues to be a highly desirable destination and I hope that in this Collection there is something just right for you.

Sincere thanks go to my many “Italian Connections” – so precious in facilitating and assisting my selection of the outstanding properties which you will find here.

Buone Vacanze!
