We only recommend destinations that we know and that we love

Where

When you book a trip with Rosamund King Private Travel, you can be confident that - wherever you choose to go - we’ve been there already. We’ve explored the best places to stay and chosen the guides who bring the most to the location, we’ve tested the authenticity and value of experiences and we’ve sought out the best places to eat and drink, shop and stroll, walk and cycle, swim and ski.

Our guiding philosophy is that if we haven’t been to a place or we don’t feel passionate about it, we won’t recommend it to you. We will only suggest destinations where we have distilled our experience into true insider knowledge and where we have built relationships that ensure your satisfaction. Your time is precious and we take your trust in us very seriously.

Italy

Italy was our first love and it will be our last love too. We know that we are not alone in this feeling and that many of our guests also know Italy inside out. They come to us because we take our research very seriously: we've had 2 lunches in one day so that you go to the right restaurant, we've slipped and slided our way down to your villa in mid-winter to check the firmness of each guest bed, and we've test-driven that Ferrari on your behalf...

We revel equally in helping people with their first Italian adventure, carefully managing the weight of expectation and preparing an itinerary that is right for you.  

We spend half our time in country: reconnecting with old friends and making new ones; exploring new ventures and revisiting old ones; sometimes travelling incognito and at other times accompanying our clients.  

Even after living in Italy for 15 years and crafting travel there for another 20 on top of that, we are thrilled to know that there are still discoveries to be made in Italy. Evviva!

And Beyond…

Since 2017 we've arranged for our guests to visit a handful of other destinations that make us as excited as Italy does. The formula is that we've been there and we've loved our experience and we've found the perfect partner to work with on the ground. We don't pretend to be the masters of these places but we've visited each one more than once and we have developed opinions of what to see and do and where to stay and eat.
