Italy is a never-ending story, isn’t it?
…
How does a teenage girl from Vienna become the go-to name in Italian villa rentals? 
…
I started in furniture restoration…
…
Then moved into wine marketing…
…
Which led me to fall in love with the Tuscan countryside.
…
One thing led to another–soon I was helping wine estate owners restore their properties and welcome guests from all over the world.
…
Thirty years ago, I never could have imagined this path.
…
And yet, it all makes so much sense.
…
Trust&Travel Villas brings together everything I love — design, history, Italian culture, and most of all… connecting curious travelers with unforgettable places.
…
Has your life taken zigs and zags that now seem like a straight line? Drop me a line in the comments!

Luxury ≠ bland!!
…
A recent study mentioned today by @the.independent says luxury stays are starting to look… identical. 
…
Not at Trust&Travel.
…
We believe that choosing where to stay on holiday is just as personal as choosing where to live. That’s why each of our villas is hand-picked—not just for its design and character, but for an elusive je ne sais quoi that enchants and surprises!
…
A sense of place. A spark of authenticity. A stay you’ll remember.
…
Featured homes are from our Excellence Villas collection in Tuscany, Sicily and The Amalfi Coast.

Location. Design. Owners.
…
I only represent villas I truly love — and people I genuinely trust.
…
The location and feel of a villa are essential, but just as important are the owners behind it.
…
At Trust&Travel, I work directly with villa owners. That means:
 –I know exactly what each home offers
 –The owners stay responsive and involved
 –I can trust them to deliver the kind of hospitality my guests deserve
…
This connection makes all the difference — and you’ll feel it when you stay.
…

Venice is for drifting, not rushing.
…
Palazzo Ca’nova guests stay nearly a week on average – because the longer you stay, the more Venice reveals.
…
Learn to row like a local, standing tall in a traditional boat — ply the narrow canals the way Venetians have for centuries.
…
Drift across the lagoon in quiet, handcrafted vessels — sustainable, serene, and rooted in history.
…
✨ Staying longer = traveling better.
 🛶 When you move more slowly, you tread more lightly.
 🌍 You don’t just visit Venice — you help preserve it.
…
💌Share with someone who wants to see the real Venice.

Not just scenery, food for the soul.
…
Horizons have a way of whispering, “There’s more.”
…
Light changes, shadows shift—nature’s slow cinema.
…
You feel smaller, but in a good way. 
…
Suddenly, things feel lighter, solvable.
…
They remind us to slow down to actually see. And feel.

You can’t visit them all. But I have. 
..
Over 20 years, I’ve developed a deep connection to these homes—not just where the sun sets or how the rooms flow, but how each one makes you feel. ✨
..
I’m here to listen—really listen—so I can match you with the place that fits you.
..
No fancy tech. No templates. No AI. Just intuition, experience, and a passion for turning your dreams into reality.

At 18, I moved to Italy to learn the art of furniture restoration.
..
One project led to another… and soon, I was helping families revive their historic properties and open them up to guests from around the world.
..

Venice isn’t just a postcard — it’s a living city. 
Palazzo Ca’nova guests stay nearly a week on average, moving to the unhurried rhythm of la Serenissima, discovering all the nooks and crannies that day-trippers never see. 
..
💡 Fun Fact: Venice has more art per square meter than most museums.
✨ Staying longer = traveling better.
💧Fewer crowds, deeper connection, less impact.
..
