There is a hotel that truly fills my soul. It’s located in the Dolomites, and I always gravitate toward it when I crave a reset; FORESTIS, as the name implies, nestles its guests into the mountains of northern Italy, offering an exceptional cocoon of relaxation and bliss. Its spa amenities are unparalleled, and the dining options are absolutely delightful. This family-owned property is a wonderful ski-in/ski-out destination in the winter and a hiker’s paradise in the summer—few things taste as good as a well-deserved crisp pint after a hike while taking in the breathtaking views!
I’ve always said that if trip preparation were an Olympic sport, I’d be a top competitor. But preparation isn’t just about what you do on a trip; it’s about being ready for every adventure, twist, and turn. From packing lists tailored to planned activities to having foreign currency on hand, I leave nothing to chance. I’ve learned the hard way that even the smallest oversight can impact your experience (like forgetting blister band-aids you desperately need while on a walking tour!). That’s why I’m dedicated to providing comprehensive planning for my clients, so they can focus on the fun and avoid any ‘oh no’ moments. Although, those do sometimes make for funny stories upon return!
