Luxury statement

— The Travel Setter Method

Luxury is a
conversation, not a
transaction.

Every trip begins with a personal consultation with one of our Travel Designers. We listen, make suggestions, and refine the details—and we're here for you 24/7, from your first call until you return home.

i.

Listen

An initial, relaxed conversation to get to know who you are and what you're really looking for.

ii.

Design

A personalized proposal: villas, experiences, and logistics, tailored to your schedule.

iii.

Refine

Unlimited revisions until every detail is perfect. No packages, no compromises.

vi.

Accompany

Discreet 24/7 concierge service throughout your stay. Always there, yet unobtrusive.

Outside of Italy

We don't just
book Italy.
We open up the
world.

Italy will always be our first language, but a well-travelled life rarely stops at one border.

Why Travel Setter

A few good reasons to
let us dream with you.

i.

Doors that stay closed to others

Off-market villas and private access negotiated through relationships built one handshake at a time.

ii.

A real person, day and night

No call centre, no chatbot. A dedicated travel designer who answers, anticipates and quietly solves - 24/7, in your time zone.

iii.

Tailor-made, 360°

One atelier for the whole picture: the journey, the villa, the yacht, the table and the consultancy behind the places themselves.

iv.

Rooted in Florence

Based in the heart of Tuscany, with a living network of historians, hoteliers, sommeliers and owners across Italy.

v.

Led by women who listen

The soul of Travel Setter lies in its women we listen first, then design around the feeling, never the brochure.

vi.

Absolute discretion

Your plans, your names and your privacy are held in confidence and never shared beyond our trusted network.

Alexandra M., New York

Every detail was considered before we even thought to ask. The villa was breathtaking, the staff invisible yet always present. Our family still talks about that week as if it were a dream.

James & Caroline T., London

We have travelled extensively, but nothing compares to the level of access and discretion we experienced. The home they found for us simply doesn't appear on any platform. Pure magic.

Sophia R., Hong Kong

Three weeks across different properties, not a single moment of friction. Just effortless beauty, warm hosts, and the feeling that every place had been chosen specifically for us.
