We've had the honor 8 years in a row

T+L A-list 2009
We're excited to once again be named to Travel + Leisure's A-List of travel agents, what T+L describes as "the best of the best - specialists who always deliver."


2008 Travel + Leisure A-List

T+L A-list 2008 Andrea Sertoli and our roster of Italian travel experts have been designing custom trips and meeting clients' specific needs for over a decade. Here's a recent example that T+L included in their September 2008 issue:

[quote] [Select Italy arranged] for an on-site scholar and an art historian to explain to a dot-com billionaire and his 11-year-old twin sons the convoluted history of a medieval fresco in Siena's Palazzo Pubblico, and determine its authenticity using X-rays and CSI-like, state-of-the-art archaeology techniques.

2007 Travel + Leisure A-List

T+L A-list 2007 Dream Trip: Exploring the Friuli region, spending time on its white-sand beaches, and climbing the craggy Italian Alps. Enjoying the quiet of this corner of Italy, which is off the mainstream tourist circuit, and above all eating its cuisine - prosciutto and prosecco, in particular. Read more about Andrea's dream trip in Friuli.


2006 Travel + Leisure A-List

T+L A-list 2006 Dream Trip: A leisurely car trek through Italy's Le Marche: beginning in Urbino, a Renaissance jewel dominated by the 15th-century castle of the dukes of Montefeltro; heading toward the Adriatic to attend the annual Rossini festival in Pesaro, the composer's hometown; returning inland to tiny Pergola and its 17th-century theater.


2005 Travel + Leisure A-List

T+L A-list 2005 Dream Trip: A month in Puglia and neighboring Basilicata to see Baroque and Norman architecture and visit boutique vineyards, culminating in a week relaxing by the pool at Il Melograno, a 17th-century farming estate in Monopoli, Puglia. Read more about Apulia.


2004 Travel + Leisure A-List

T+L A-list 2004 Dream Trip: Exploring Piedmont - the area will host the Winter Olympics in 2006 (the skiing is great), and Turin has the best collection of Egyptian Antiquities outside of Cairo, as well as divine gianduja (a blend of chocolate and hazelnut) treats. Read more about Piedmont.


2003 Travel + Leisure A-List

T+L A-list 2003 Top tip: The Cilento region south of the Amalfi Coast. "Wild and wonderful - think sand and rocks and woods and local artichokes. Santa Maria di Castellabate on the sea gets a stylish summer crowd, and Paestum is one of the world's most perfect ancient Greek temples." Read more about the Cilento region.


2002 Travel + Leisure A-List

T+L A-list 2002 Top tip: Ponza, an island that's a jealously guarded weekend escape for Romans. The next island over is a nature preserve. The waters are crystal-blue and you can find obsidian in the seabed. Read more about Ponza.
