Reservations & Payments
A €500 deposit per person is required to reserve your place on the tour.
The remaining balance of the tour fee, €3,300 per person, is due July 31, 2026, at which time the tour will be confirmed, provided the minimum enrollment of four (4) participants has been met.
Once your reservation has been confirmed, we will provide payment instructions for the remaining balance.
Cancellations by You
Written cancellations are accepted through July 31, 2026.
Cancellations received on or before July 31, 2026 will receive a full refund of all payments made, including the deposit.
Cancellations, changes that result in a shortened stay, or withdrawals after July 31, 2026 will forfeit all payments made, including the deposit and any advance payments.
Because this is a small group experience with limited availability, no exceptions can be made once the tour has been confirmed.
We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive trip cancellation insurance.

Good to Know
This is a small, intimate group experience designed to provide honest, practical insight into what life in Italy is really like. Our goal is not to "sell" Italy but to help you understand both the opportunities and the realities of making it your home.
You'll meet experienced local professionals, ask questions, visit communities and properties, and gain firsthand knowledge of everyday life in Italy. We encourage every participant to continue their own research and seek independent professional advice after returning home.
Italy runs on Italian time. Occasionally appointments, restaurants, or schedules may change. We'll always do our best to provide an outstanding experience, even if adjustments become necessary.
Many of the places we'll visit are historic and charming, which also means uneven streets, stairs, and older buildings are part of the experience.
Every relocation journey is unique. No two individuals or families have the same goals, finances, legal circumstances, or timeline. This tour is designed to educate, inspire, and connect you with valuable resources so you can make informed decisions that are right for you.
