Eleonora Arrigoni

Born and raised in Milan, I graduated in Tourism Sciences and Local Community.

Passionate about the travel industry from a young age, I explored the world of luxury hospitality between Dubai and Milan, working as a guest relations and concierge agent in 5-star hotels. After obtaining a Master in Management of Culture and Artistic Heritage, I worked as a marketing and communication specialist at Dove Viaggi, Corriere della Sera’s travel magazine

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in Tuscany because I consider it a land complete with everything one needs to live: there are great art cities like Florence and Pisa, but also medieval towns like Siena and San Gimignano, and areas where you can get lost among the hills and good wine, such as Chianti and the Val D'Orcia. There are also beautiful coastal areas like Forte dei Marmi and Castiglione della Pescaia.
I am specialized also in Southern Italy, specifically in the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. I consider them lands of a thousand colors and scents, to be visited at least once in a lifetime"

How did you get involved in travel?

"Since I was i child, my father passed me the passion about travelling. He has been my travel companion in Europe and across the ocean. Together, we visited Greece, Paris, Budapest and then ventured to Kenya for a beautiful safari in the Tsavo Reserve. We then flew across the ocean to New York, Miami and Cuba. Together, we took a wonderful road trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas, passing through Santa Barbara, Santa Monica and Los Angeles. With him, I also visited the East thanks to a beautiful trip to Hong Kong, where I admired avant-garde places and remote corners. I visited Italy, instead, with my mother and also on my own. Sicily and Cinque Terre will always remain in my heart, as well as Sardinia with its barren and unspoiled nature. Rome and Naples have been among my most recent destinations and I have appreciated them especially for the colors, flavors and warmth of the people I have encountered"

I was so impressed with my first experience with KimKim that when I was looking at going to Italy, I contacted KimKim again and met Eleonora. And WOW, the entire process was so easy, the trip was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

I was so impressed with my first experience with KimKim that when I was looking at going to Italy, I contacted KimKim again and met Eleonora. And WOW, the entire process was so easy, the trip was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I was initially nervous when we landed not knowing what to really expect, Eleonora messaged to check on us before we left and made sure that we had all the information we needed. We were greeted with a sign and taken to our hotel, which exceeded all expectations, the staff that greeted us were very helpful and friendly, the rooms were very spacious, clean and beautiful. This was just the very start and it just kept getting better. Eleonora, had listened to everything that we had wanted to do, even when we wanted to add something at the last moment, she was able to facilitate it. I also appreciated how easy it was to contact her and how quickly she responded. It was brilliant not having to worry about planning anything and having it all organised.

Hotel Review
Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco
Florence

The entrance does not do this hotel justice, especially with the roadworks that are happening just outside. Hotel II Guelfo Bianco is a true gem! The staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful, everyone spoke English (which was useful as my Italian is almost non-existent). The rooms were beautiful and spacious, there was everything that you could possibly want in the room. The hotel is also in an amazing location and we were able to walk everywhere, from great restaurants, the Cathedral, other incredible historic sites and to all of the meeting points for our activities. I look forward to returning.
