Welcome to Girasole Travel

Destination Expertise

Let's face it, no one can be an expert in everything. That's why, at Girasole Travel, I focus on a few, handpicked destinations that I know inside and out.

The destinations I plan luxury travel to are the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales), France, Italy and the Republic of Ireland. Each country has vibrant cities full of museums and opportunities to explore the local culture, lovely towns and villages, and countryside that has inspired generations of artists and writers. If you're looking for a European barge or river cruise or a luxury Mediterranean or British Isles cruise I love planning those as well!

From the walled hill towns of Tuscany to the tranquil countryside of England's rolling Cotswolds, I have access to the most exclusive experiences, the best private guides, and unparalleled luxury hotels.

Each person's needs and desires are different, especially when dealing with luxury. Let's be honest, no two people have the exact same idea of what luxury travel looks like.

My job as your luxury travel advisor is to understand your specific definition of luxury and tailor your vacation to exactly what you're looking for.

How do I do that?
