Hi, If you are heading to Italy, let me help you plan your next unforgetable trip. I live part time in the small medieval village of Guardia Sanframondi in the Province of Benevento, Campania, the other part in Cincinnati, Ohio and Southern California. As a travel consultant, I have been organizing bespoke tours all over France and Italy since 2012 and recently in Romania. I enjoy traveling and sharing my off the beaten path, local, small/slow travel experiences. I can create a custom made itinerary based on your desires, provide tips to organize your trip, book reservations for transportation, accommodations, wineries and recommend places to visit, tourguides, restaurants and other excursions such as cooking classes with the grandmothers, Amalfi Coast, Capri, Ischia and more! If you come during harvest season, I can organize a day in the vineyards picking grapes with the locals and a hearty lunch under the vines. There are many food and wine festivals in Campania to enjoy. "Alecia put together this lovely one-day drive through Campania for me and friends visiting from the States. It was absolutely perfect and full of hidden treasures and discoveries. Thanks so much Alecia for this wonderful itinerary, and your excellent recommendations. I simply can't imagine a more wonderful day’s drive of discovery, adventure and fun!" -Deborah

Alecia Caine - Sweet Life Italy
ABOUT
I discovered my passion for Italy as a young woman traveling thru the country where my grandmother grew up. I fell in love with the language, the food, the people and all things Italian. I guess you could say Italy is my soul mate. For my 50th birthday, after having raised two sons as a single mother, I bought myself an apartment in a medieval village in Southern Italy. My life changed and I created Sweet Life Italy, a boutique niche tour company to share my love of the Italian way of life, especially in the South, with its amazing scenery, down to earth food and the friendliest people on earth. I created Sweet Life Italy to inspire women to savor pleasure and rediscover their passions, awaken their senses and follow their dreams. I offer you the experience of discovering Italy through your senses, indulging in the tastes and textures that surround you.. Take time for time and attune to the local rhythm and energy of Italy while savoring the food, wines, music, art and beauty of Italy. Lounge in cafes, learn to make pasta by hand with the grandmothers, picnic amongst the grape vines on delicacies grown near the local villages. I am fortunate to enjoy very close relationships with the locals so I can offer travelers very unique experiences up close and personal, not like a tourist. I specialize in organizing your dream trip to Italy in the following locations: Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany, Campania, Gaeta, Amalfi Coast, Ischia and Guardia Sanframondi including transportation, accommodations, guided tours, cooking classes with the nonnas, wine tasting, foodie, history, art, nature tours.
