Whether you’re inspired by vibrant culture, historic architecture, or secret culinary delights, we tailor every moment of your journey to match your preferences.

Why Travel Italy with Us?

At Design Your Italy, we approach travel planning a little differently. We prioritize transparency, trust, and honesty in every interaction. Our affiliation and commission-free model means you won’t encounter hidden costs or sales pitches. Instead, we charge a clear, upfront fee for our personalized travel services. Our expertise helps you uncover Italy’s hidden treasures and avoid overcrowded tourist spots. With our insider knowledge and local connections, we craft custom experiences tailored to your interests. Whether you’re seeking off-the-beaten-path destinations or unique adventures, we create the perfect holiday that reflects your travel passions.

What makes us different?

The conventional business models in the travel industry were not a good fit for what we believe. Since the inception of the Design Your Italy, transparency, trust, honesty, and openness have been at the heart of our travel business model. In fact, our business model is affiliation and commission free, so we are not sales-oriented, neither we have hidden costs. We do charge a predetermined fee agreed upon upfront after which our full range of services is available to you. By choosing us, you are making a wise travel investment in the essential stage of planning your trip. You can be sure we are entirely dedicated to you and your special interests.

Who is Vanya?

Hi, I am Vanya, a long-term veteran in the Hospitality Industry and the founder of Design Your Italy. The humble beginnings of Design Your Italy were powered by a simple idea I had years ago.
Until 2018, I had no courage to get out of my comfort zone and accomplish it. But when I gave birth to my daughter, the game completely changed. I was looking for more balance in private and working life. In 2019, driven by my eagerness to translate ideas into remarkable tailor-made travel adventures, I set up Design Your Italy, a small company founded on the big belief that any trip is a personal experience where emotions and imagination exist in perfect synergy.
