Melania Siriu

Senior Travel Designer

Born and raised in Italy, I have also lived in the UK and Latin America.  My number one specialty destination is Italy, of course!  London is my adoptive home, Greece my obsession, Iceland my pivotal travel crush,  and the whole of Europe an exciting ongoing discovery. On my own trips, I enjoy relaxing and experimenting, diving into authenticity, alternating special treats with experiences totally out of my comfort zone.

You can trust I will take your trip at heart: it will be customised, unique and unforgettable. Ask me about snorkelling in Iceland, my favourite Croatian treasures, atmospheric lodges in Sweden and the best sunsets across Europe.

Europe

My most memorable trip

Greenland

My trip you Greenland was definitely my most memorable. I discovered that icebergs are kaleidoscopic jewels when the summer light hits them, and that glaciers make a sound like thunder when they melt and crush into the sea. I love Greenland because there is nothing like it.

My favourite trip

Greek Islands: Off the Beaten Track

I designed this itinerary after one of my many trips to Greece. That country is a mine of treasures: the more you want to venture away from the crowds, the more you are going to be mesmerised. Then you will need to go back for more, I warn you!

My favourite hotel

Treehotel

This hotel makes your inner child come back to play! I loved being immersed in the forest and learning ways to cohabit sustainably.

My top tips

When travelling between Florence and Venice, stop in Bologna for its exciting regional cuisine. Our guides there are storytellers, markets' experts, culinary magicians.

A fast speed boat on the river Thames, a mini cooper ride around the less known neighbourhoods, a science themed afternoon tea in the Science museum: this could be your family trip to London!

While planning your trip to Greece, embrace the adventure and try something different! Hike and bike through the breathtaking Peloponnese, dive into the intriguing geology of Milos, or set sail on a private boat from Santorini to discover the enchanting island of Folegandros.

On your visit to Porto, don't ever skip the markets! The city becomes alive around its incredible food treasures!
