Italy with Bella Reviews:
What our customers have to say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 05/23/2025
…The Italy with Bella Team delivered a truly unique, creative, and brilliant trip that totally aligned with our request. As we explored options for the itinerary, ideas would pop up from both sides, be discussed, then accepted, rejected, modified, and we move on. This process, the planning of the Bella Team, the creation of ‘our trip’ was skillfully constructed, communicated and executed.”

“We travelled to Rome and Florence in June 2025 to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation and I can’t recommend Italy with Bella enough. They helped us plan the entire trip down to the smallest detail, were super communicative during the planning phase and even on the ground in Italy. Their experience made our experience a great one.“

“We have been to Italy many times always doing the planning ourselves, but for our 20th Anniversary we wanted to take an extended trip and quickly became overwhelmed with the details. I saw a Facebook post with the Italy with Bella team tagged and realized right away how special their services were. They don't just plan your travel...they carefully curate the trip based on the things you want to see, and experience, eat and drink, and the places you want to visit. This team listens to every small detail you mention and finds a way to make the dream and experience come true. Every tour they set up was a truly authentic experience and I almost forgot we were tourists, and instead felt like we were Italians enjoying the beauty of the country, the people and the food. This team went above and beyond by personally visiting hotels, restaurants, and experiences in Matera before our trip so they could vet every place they sent us to! All accommodations and dinner reservations were made for us and we just had to show up! Those accommodations and reservations were all outstanding. Once we arrived in Italy they were in contact with us to ensure everything was running smoothly and quickly responded to any questions we asked. Denise, Anthony and the entire team are amazing to work with and I can't wait to work with them on a future trip. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a truly amazing, authentic, and unique experience in this beautiful country!”

“Third time’s a charm, and Italy with Bella delivers excellence again! The level of personalized care and local expertise is truly unmatched and they once again exceeded all our expectations! I can’t imagine planning our return trips without them! We used to plan our own trips, but the carefully vetted curated experiences Italy with Bella provides are world-class, and the private guides all had deep historical knowledge along with being experts in art history. We loved all of the hotel accommodations and restaurant recommendations as well, and the careful instructions they deliver for driving a rental or catching a train are priceless. We highly recommend the IWB team for all your travels in Italy. Their passion for the country shines through in every detail!”

“We had a fabulous 2.5 week trip to Italy and everything was so wonderfully planned! I really felt like our trip was customized to us and we got to participate in some really cool experiences that I probably wouldn’t have found on my own. If you’ve never been to Italy, use IWB to make your trip amazing!”

“If you really want to go Italy - Italy with Bella is our recommendation. They were and are outstanding. They only focus on Italy and they have a team here in the U.S. and in Italy! They saw to all details. They are with you from the time you start planning your trip to when you return. Their trip app and communication is outstanding. We had a dental need the first day of our arrival and within 15 minutes of our communication with the team we had an appointment.

“We found this company through a simple Google search and little did we know that we had found an absolute gem. Italy with Bella designed the perfect vacation for us complete with authentic, off-the-beaten path, Italian experiences. We made pasta in a Masseria with 2000 year old olive trees and ancient ruins from the Roman period. We tasted burrata cheese directly from the kitchen where it was made and ate in the delightful cheese maker's hidden restaurant in the forest (divine). We watched the sunset from a cliff in Amalfi that our charming Tuk Tuk driver took us to. We stayed in the caves of Matera and a converted 5-star monastery in Amalfi. It was the best vacation and travel experience that I have ever had and I have traveled a lot. I highly recommend Italy with Bella for your next Italian adventure!”

“First trip to Italy or if you’ve been before, you need Italy with Bella. They meet with you and find out what you want to do or see and your interests. They do all the work for you. Their communication with you before and during your trip is outstanding. It was my first trip to Italy but won’t be my last. They made my trip unforgettable. I can’t wait to go back.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 11/01/2025
“We loved our trip — it was the trip of a lifetime which showed us a part of Italy (Puglia region — heel of Italy’s “boot”) which we had not seen before. We got a great exposure to the history of the region and the typical cuisine. The tours we went on were most enjoyable. We never found ourselves bored or hungry. The accommodations were all most pleasant. We visited Lecce, Matera, and Bari — with stops in Locorotondo and AlberoBello. Definitely recommend!”

“Italy with Bella planned our Italy trip for October 2025. They did an amazing job in listening to our requests of what we wanted to do and see while there and built the trip around that. We have since traveled there and back and they really captured the essence of what we wanted to experience. The detail they prepared us with and gave us on the trip app made for smooth travel to all our locations and amazing restaurant suggestions gave us the food experience we wanted to have. We were able to see so much more than if we had tried to plan it ourselves. It was a fantastic trip. We highly recommend using them to plan your trip to Italy..”

“Bella did a great job of creating a plan for us. They offered many suggestions and provided much needed advice. They provide so much information and we knew what to expect in many different situations for which we would otherwise have been clueless. When we had some travel mishaps, and when wanted to add a tour last minute, they were all over it immediately for us. We appreciated the confidence it gave us to know we had that support only a call or text away.”

“Amazing, Amazing!!! This was our first trip to Italy and we used Italy with Bella. Hands down the best! They made our trip stress free. Our trip was tailored for us. They knew exactly what we wanted and the pace we wanted it at. From the transportation to the tour and guides and suggestions to eat and drink are top notch. It was our Anniversary and at the First Hotel, Italy with Bella had rose petals on the bed, towels formed like swans and Chocolate and Prosecco waiting for us.
From my first conversation with Anthony, I felt like we made the right choice. The communication via emails, phone and zoom put us at ease. I think knowing that they have used or been to the places they recommend made it felt like a friend was giving their recommendations.
We will definitely will use them again. Anthony, Denise , Marissa and the whole Team - Grazie mille”

“We just returned from a 14 day (on the ground) trip to Italy. This was a bucket list trip for me. I normally plan all of our travel but knew this was too much for me to take on! Synchronicity brought us to Italy with Bella several months before we planned our trip. The pre-planning and attention to detail was amazing. The preparation was outstanding and the response times the fastest you could get. Our trip included 4 stops and multiple types of transportation throughout the trip! They planned an incredible trip with top of the line lodging, transportation and experiences. Nothing short of white glove service! I would definitely (and hope I get the chance) to use them again!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/06/2025
“I was fifty five when I finally met the country I had loved my whole life. Italy lived in my mind like a postcard tucked inside a favorite book. Every time I tried to plan it, the details overwhelmed me. Flights. Hotels. Trains. Excursions. I wanted it perfect, and the fear of getting it wrong kept me home.
A friend referred me to a company called Italy with Bella and that is when I connected with Anthony. From the first call he listened. My daughter would be in Florence for a month studying abroad. All I said was I wanted a cooking class in a Tuscan home and to live like I was in a scene from the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. They got it exactly right. The trip centered on Florence and Cortona as my home base. I arrived a few days before my daughter finished school to explore on my own, then we continued together. What felt complicated to me became simple and clear in his hands.
At my first hotel in Florence, while waiting to check in, a gentleman behind me offered his business card. Leonardo, with Italy with Bella. He had a meeting nearby and stayed to greet me. He walked me to the piazza for espresso and pastries and joked that he was my Ciceroni, like a personal tour guide. At one point I mixed up a meeting point. I handed my phone to a patient cab driver who spoke only Italian, and Leonardo was the calm voice on the other end. In minutes it was solved. He was there in the same time zone any time a question or hiccup came up. Grazie mille, Leonardo. You are a rock star.
Dante, Anthony’s son, arranged my whole trip. He was patient with my requests and even last minute changes. Their app was my constant companion. Every stop on the itinerary, flight confirmations, train tickets, phone numbers, and restaurant options were at my fingertips. This was more than a company making reservations and saying goodbye. They followed along day by day and made sure everything was perfect. The app brought me real peace.
Highlights: two cooking classes in Tuscany; an e bike ride through vineyards and countryside; Maranello and Modena together with a driver who brought me for a Ferrari Factory Tour arranged through my dealership, then guided us on a walking tour of Bologna before a private drive back to Florence in his beautiful Mercedes; a day trip with another driver to a nearby town for special photo spots and wide views, the three of us ending the day singing Take Me Home Country Roads; and after one class, a quiet detour to Bramasole so I could take a photo in front of the house from Under the Tuscan Sun.
Every person carried a piece of Italy. Patient drivers. Guides who knew when to teach and when to let the view speak. Hotel staff who welcomed me as if I were returning, not arriving. I cried more than once from the grace of a long held dream becoming real.
Do not wait fifty five years. Go to Italy. Book the trip, and book it with Italy with Bella. Ciao.”

“Our trip to Italy was absolutely outstanding and exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, the communication with the team was excellent — detailed, clear, and full of valuable information. The app they provided was fantastic, easy to use, and great to stay in touch with the team.
The tours and experiences were the highlight of our trip, and the restaurant suggestions were also wonderful. This was a spectacular trip — beautifully planned, full of authentic experiences, and perfectly executed. We would absolutely recommend Italy with Bella to anyone planning a trip to Italy.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 09/17/2025
“Italy with Bella planned our trip to several different regions in Northern Italy and handled everything from start to finish. There was very little that we had to figure out on our own when we got there and what we did have to figure out was easy due to the prep that they did with us and the great app that they use that contains every detail about the trip, contacts, times, addresses, GPS, etc. (it even works offline). In addition they have 2 teams so they have 24 coverage with the chat feature in the app to handle any issues that might come up.
The impressive part of Italy with Bella is the personal relationships they have with people that we interacted with or the fact that they had personally used services, eaten in restaurants, stayed in the accommodations that they set us up in. We did not have a bad meal (hard to recall which one was the best!) and not a single issue with any services, tours, or accommodations that were set up for us.
They listened to what we wanted and delivered! I would definitely use them again and would also recommend going to them for your Italy needs!
Highlights of our trip included exploring many of the small hilltop towns in the Piedmont region, the cooking class at someone's home in Alba, and taking a train to Cinque Terra and then hiking between the towns using the coastal trail! Exploring Florence! We loved just walking everywhere that we went.
Def a trip of a lifetime that the entire family enjoyed (and did not want to leave). Will the miss the great coffee and food! Thanks Italy with Bella!”

“Absolute five-star service. Anthony, Marissa, Derek and the rest of the Bella team were fantastic to work with. They curated a perfect trip based on our wish list and budget. We had never worked with a travel agent before and were a little skeptical, but the Bella team took all the stress out of planning so we could focus entirely on enjoying the trip. They went above and beyond planning with their helpful recommendations - everything from where to eat, where to shop, how to avoid tourist traps - right down to the best gelato places in every city! The relationships they have with the hotels, restaurants, and tour guides made for an unforgettable trip. Would recommend them 10x over and cannot wait to go back!”

“We cannot recommend Italy with Bella more. We asked their help with a very needed last minute trip and they delivered in so many indescribable ways. We had never been to Europe and with their help and guidance, we felt very comfortable with the travel and ultimately understanding the culture. This guidance led to us having a truly unbelievable trip. Do yourself a favor and book with Italy with Bella, you will not regret it.”

“PERFECT!!!! The Italy with Bella team listened very carefully and offered various things that I had not thought of for the trip. I thought the Amalfi boat tour would be okay, but it was the highlight of the trip by far. They know what they are doing. I was a chef and they suggested a cooking class and I thought it would be alright, but it was amazing, beyond what I imagined. My daughters and I loved it!! The restaurant recommendations were spot on. A job very well done by Anthony and Denise and their team. Their team assisted in ways I hadn’t thought of while on the trip. They were all very quick to respond to my family’s needs while overseas. They listened to what my daughters wanted to do as well. My girls loved the private jewelry store tour. The castle tours were phenomenal! Renting the car in Cortona area was definitely another fantastic experience. The first class train ride was absolutely stunning. There’s so much that we did and I will never forget it! We are definitely going to them again!!!”

“We traveled to southern Italy, seeing Rome, Naples, Pompeii, took a ferry to the island of Ischia (which was my favorite stop)! Italy with Bella put our trip together and it was just AMAZING! The group put together such a wonderful experience for us, including a cooking class that was such a great time for us all. Then the boys headed home and my daughter and I headed to Tuscany and Florence for more fun! Just the best trip ever!!! Thank you soooo much for all you did for us. It was just the best!!!!”

“Working with Italy with Bella was such an amazing, seamless experience.
I can’t tell you how nice it was to know and trust everything was handled and planned perfectly. Having a sense of security knowing they were always a message, text or call away was such an added comfort while visiting a foreign country.
All the people they set up along the way were so special and lovely. They taught us so much and were excellent with our kids, referrals and suggestions.
They are the absolute best!
We can’t wait to go back.”

“We had an amazing week vacation in Italy because of Italy with Bella! They planned a perfect trip for us to Rome, Florence and Venice. After talking with us an and finding out what type of vacation we wanted, they came up with a great itinerary! They booked our hotels, transportation, tours, and some dinner reservations. But that’s not all. They have amazing preparation material that was so helpful. They gave us so much information on each city and what we were going to see. We didn’t have to worry about anything because everything they recommended was vetted. We knew our lodging and our tours would be perfect because they have been to every place they recommend. I highly recommend using Italy with Bella for your next trip to Italy.”
