An amazing experience from beginning to end! The hotel staff made us feel like family, and our wonderful driver, Sebastian, went above and beyond. From sweet Assisi to breathtaking views on our hot air balloon ride, every day was unforgettable. Truffle hunting, wine tastings, authentic Italian cooking, and time in the beautiful countryside made this journey special. It was the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, incredible food, and new friendships. I returned home refreshed and grateful. The best trip I've ever taken!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Amore Italy! They took care of everything - I mean everything. While they start with a plan, it is totally customizable. We had been to Italy previously, so we didn’t want to do a few things again. It was no problem to change. The substitutions were outstanding. We had some of the most amazing experiences - ones we would have never found on our own or even thought to look. We have the highest praise for the team. They really take the stress out of travel.

Our 9-day Amore Italy trip with Executive Travel was a “10” among all our travels around the world! Fortebraccio Hotel & Spa felt like a five-star resort, with a warm, welcoming staff who made us feel like family. Every request was handled promptly, and the delicious food was prepared in-house. We even took a cooking class and were impressed by the chef and state-of-the-art kitchen. Valeria, Andre, Olivia, and Sebastian were exceptional, attending to our every need. We left feeling we'd made wonderful new friends!

We had a great time. The villa was very nice and we enjoyed the relaxed experience. Having the same driver for the week was a nice touch. Sebastian was outstanding. Very professional but at the same time warm and caring. The entire staff was excellent. The whole itinerary was good. We enjoyed the balloon ride immensely and the cooking class with Davido was fun and our meal very tasty. If I was going to do anything differently I might take a day off to just hang around the villa and the town and relax. Well done!

Our 9 day trip using the Amore Italy program by Executive Travel was a “10” of all our travels around the world. In our opinion, Fortebraccio Hotel & Spa is rated as a 5-Star resort. The entire staff from the housekeeping to the front desk are so friendly and smile constantly. We felt as if we were staying with family and left feeling we had made many friends.
