The Founder


Rosamund has been creating and fulfilling intricate travel itineraries since 2006, formerly as a director of a leading London-based Italian travel specialist for a decade and now as founder of Rosamund King Private Travel.

Having spent her formative years in Italy - in Naples as a child, a student in Bologna and Florence, and a decade in Rome following her graduation - Rosamund is renowned for her deep knowledge and understanding of Italian life and culture. Since 2017, Rosamund has extended her reach to further flung destinations where she has partners who can deliver magical experiences in their own countries.

Following years of party planning and management, Rosamund has the network of contacts and creatives to arrange your unique celebration, whether it be an intimate winter wedding in a Venetian boathouse, a weekend of wine and truffles to mark a special birthday, or a surprise picnic on a Peruvian mountaintop. The more outlandish the brief, the better!

The Team


Born and bred on the island of Ischia in the south of Italy, Marianna began her career in luxury fashion working as a stylist, writer and creative consultant for major brands around Europe.

Listening to tales from the world of hotels from her father and grandfather who both worked in the grande dames of the island as she grew up, she had always been fascinated by travel and hospitality. She joined the RKPT team in 2023 as our Senior Travel Coordinator (and Queen of Style!)

A curious soul and a lover of all things beautiful, when Marianna isn’t exploring new destinations or finessing the final details of your travels, she is to be found enjoying the sun by the sea in Ischia.
