I am Isabella, born and raised on the shores of beautiful Lake Maggiore, a place that is not only my home, but also the beating heart of my life. Here are my roots, my family, my friends, and my daily inspiration. For as long as I can remember, Lake Maggiore has been my refuge and my muse, and today I am here to share it with you.
With 25 years of experience in the tourism industry, I have built a career that began in the hotellerie, where I learned the art of hospitality and impeccable service. In 2013, I qualified as a tour guide and, the following year, as a tour escort, two milestones that marked the beginning of a career path dedicated to helping people discover the wonders of my area.
The journey, however, does not stop there. I have had the privilege of exploring Italy, Europe and the world, both for business and pleasure, enriching my cultural and human background. These experiences have allowed me to develop a broad and deep vision of tourism, with a focus on sustainable and responsible tourism, a true passion that guides me every day.
In 2024, I added a new piece to my journey by becoming a travel designer, a role that allows me to create tailored experiences for my guests, combining my knowledge of the area with the ability to interpret the desires and needs of those who choose me. And in 2025, I realized my dream of opening a company highly specialized in customized tours, a project that represents the perfect synthesis of everything I love.
I deeply love the places where I live and my work. I love welcoming my guests as if they were long-time friends, making them feel at home and giving them authentic experiences, far from the usual tourist routes. My affable but determined character, combined with a natural empathy and sensitivity, allows me to read between the lines, understand even the unspoken words, and create unique moments that remain in the heart.
