Hi, I’m Francesca

I’m Francesca, your Verona insider with a soft spot for good wine, hidden gems, and views that make you say “wow” out loud. You’ll usually find me wandering the romantic historic center or sipping something fabulous in a new bar I “accidentally” discovered. I know the cobbled streets of Borgo Trento, Avesa, and Valdonega like the back of my hand - and probably better than my phone’s GPS. I’m a bit obsessed with local wines (strictly for research!) and love catching pop-up art shows that surprise even the locals. If you’re into nature walks, spontaneous photo ops, and laughing your way through Verona’s charms, I’ve got you covered.

Hi, I’m Sara

Verona

There’s nothing quite like watching the sun set from Castel San Pietro, painting Verona in golden hues, or wandering through the ancient Roman theatre where history still whispers in the air. I adore strolling along the river, soaking in the city’s rhythm, and enjoying an aperitivo - especially a spritz in lively Piazza Erbe! Whether it’s discovering local traditions, tasting authentic dishes, or exploring hidden corners from Lake Garda and Sirmione to the peaceful hills of Lessinia, I’m always eager to share the true spirit of Verona with you.
