I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest and —to my belief— most vibrant city, and a gastronomic paradise. I always loved being a traveler of my own birthplace, collecting all the city guides and travel magazines, old and new, strolling around for hours and hours searching for the cutest cafés, the oldest bakeries, the buildings with the best view, the new openings.
I learnt my city like the back of my hand, and it was time for new adventures. Studies, and work took me from Northern Italy (where I found my home away from home and I am forever convinced to have been Italian in another life) to Spain's Catalonia, to the French Atlantic coast, to the North of Portugal and back to Italy for a full immersion into its endless wine world. Five years of living out of a suitcase, four countries, seven regions, eleven temporary homes until I found my way back to Greece, to live in an Aegean island.
I have a passion for discovering and sharing the unique tastes and aromas of a place, what its lands produce and what its people make. The producers, the farmers, the artists, the gastronomes, the artisans, the makers of any kind, who make a place what it is. Being an excited member of Storywalking's team of travel specialists, I have the opportunity to show you Italy through our own eyes, while adjusted to your needs!
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Sao Miguel island of the Azores. Politically in Portugal, geographically in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and in terms of the landscapes otherworldly! The lash green fields, the black sand, the blue sea, the crater lakes, the waterfalls, the hot springs, the forests, the crispiest wines, the delicious local dairy products, and the famous "cozido das Furnas" will make any foodie and nature lover fall in love."

Palazzo Keller Venezia

Hotel Orto de' Medici

Location
Just outside the city gate so if you really want to be in the heart of Assisi you will have a short walk. (Nothing compared to walking distances in Rome or Florence though!)

There is not 24 hour staffing at front desk. We didn’t need anything but just be aware.
Very clean. Incredible breakfast with early start time for travelers wanting to get a jump on the sights. Large rooms.

It was a bit stressful that drivers took us to the wrong Ferrari museum. We appreciated the local representative calling the museum and making the F1 simulator work out even though we arrived well after 2 of our time slots. We have a teen who is a huge F1 fan, so we were glad to make the trip. However, if you are not a Ferrari fanatic I would not recommend the detour.

Day Trip to Siena & San Gimignano
Florence
Both cities were neat. We especially like San Gimignano. Climbed the tower and had incredible views. Only negative was such a short time in both. Winery tour with lunch was so lovely. Again, perhaps too much for one day but otherwise really nice. We did end up paying for an extra hour with the driver to have more time in Siena. It may have been nice to go through this schedule a little more with us in advance - we probably would have requested a guide and the extra time beforehand. We still enjoyed it but quite a busy day.

It was really hot and crowded the day of our tour and our 5 year old was worn out from the Papal audience in the morning, but our guide (Gaia) tried really hard to keep him engaged and it was sweet. Obviously in 2 hours it’s not possible to do an in depth tour of the Vatican museum and St. Peter’s but it was a great overview. As Catholics who wanted to pass through the Holy Door for the Jubilee and have time to pray in the Basilica, we appreciated that Gaia explained all of the info we needed to have these special moments with our children.

This was not the first trip planned with KimKim, but the first using Erini. Although budget was not as high as in the past, still a significant amount of money was paid for two travelers.
I requested business class for train transport, but was talked out of same. Really would have been better if we had business class , would not have had to pay extra for lounge acess.
In bed and breakfast in Sorrento, should have been forewarned that car service would have to drop us off two blocks from hotel; would have liked a landmark of where hotel was located, because even with google maps, it was up a stairway and almost impossible to locate. All that would have needed to be communicated was the stores or restaurants on either side of street. Location of Palazzo Staracce was double edged, loud all night long, but in a great location. No blinds on windows, up at crack of dawn. Should have communicated all of this to us. No elevator and breakfast was satisfactory at best.
When booking in a country you are not familiar with, the agent should communicate these things with you as well as booking us to major cities on National Holidays or weekends, since things are closed.
So much more to say about the hotels and their locations.
Hotel Ariel is off the main area, but lovely, but sadly the A/C in the room did not work for three nights, despite the fact that they were made aware of same.
Bettoja Mediteraneo was too far away from everything and as predicted not in the best neighborhood, however, the hotel itself was clean and breakfast was good.
Urban Hive was clean, breakfast was good, but again, summer and the A/C was completely broken. Luckily only had to stay one night.
Plinius Lifestyle Como, good hotel, room small but clean, breakfast above average. Located double edged as very loud all night but in a good location.
Hotel Reviews
Urban Hive Milano was a good hotel during my short stay. The stay was brief, only ten hours, but the experience was nice and uneventful.
Plinius Lifestyle Lake Como Hotel
Como
Plinius Lifestyle Lake Como Hotel was centrally located with clean, tiny rooms and very nice staff. The breakfast was good, and the overall experience was pleasant in Lake Como.
Hotel Ariele in Florence was a fantastic hotel with one drawback: the air conditioning did not work for three nights during a particularly warm period. Otherwise, I found the location acceptable despite a 20-minute walk from the center. Overall, the hotel itself was nice.
Palazzo Starace in Sorrento was in a great location, but the accommodation itself was not up to par. The hotel was hard to find after being dropped off as there were no clear directions, and it was a bit challenging to access. The place didn't have many amenities. Although the staff tried very hard, the overall quality and experience of the hotel were lacking.
Bettoja Hotel Mediterraneo
Rome
The Bettoja Hotel Mediterraneo in Rome was a fine accommodation in terms of the room and breakfast, but the location was inconvenient. It was situated far from the center of town and was not ideal for a tourist visit. The distance made it impractical to return to the hotel during the day. Staying closer to the center would have been more convenient, especially since I had a driver arranged for trips to the train station.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that parts of your trip didn’t meet your expectations. I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns and would like to clarify a few points.
Regarding the train, we always book first-class tickets by default for all clients, and this has consistently worked well. Lounge access is not something we include automatically; we leave it at your discretion to add, in order to respect the agreed-upon budget. Our 24/7 support team also provided timely guidance on where the lounge was located.
With the hotel, we truly wish you had reached out to us during your stay about the issues with the air conditioning and the shutters. We are available at all times to contact the properties directly and intervene when needed—we could have helped resolve those matters right away.
All accommodations were selected within the submitted budget, and we reviewed them together in advance. While there was flexibility to upgrade, we had discussed that this would come with a significant cost increase, and based on your preferences, we kept the original arrangements.
Your honest feedback is truly appreciated and helps us continue to improve.

They suggest restaurants or you find your own. We had cooking class and dinner in people’s homes because we wanted to learn their culture and dishes. We had an experienced as a couple, and not the cookie-cutter herd feeling. We were not listening to other Americans, we were hearing locals speak different languages and we had fun trying to communicate and thankfully most know some English. Our trip was seamless and our drivers were always there to pick us up and our tours were all private as we requested. Let your travel budget be your guide. We saw more places and did more things than we could have using the”package” deals. Hats off to them; I have to recommend them because they deserve it!
