They are designed to eliminate overwhelm, help you plan confidently, and save you from hours of scrolling through generic recommendations or algorithm-driven “top 10” lists that don’t fit your values or travel style. Instead of guessing, you work from a selective, expert framework that helps you choose what’s genuinely worth your time.

Naples: Available Now!

Rome: Available January 14

Florence: Available February 6

Matera: Available February 23

*Before Deep Dives are ready for sale, they are premiered to paid subscribers of my podcast. Join us on January 22, 2026 at 8 PM ET for the Venice Destination Deep Dive.

I’m Danielle Oteri and if we’re meeting for the first time, let me show you the services I offer that will help you travel Italy with depth and respect. #italytrip #travelitaly #italy🇮🇹 #italytravel #italy

More money does not mean a better experience. I mean, sure, if by experience you mean thread count and someone attending to your every need, then sure., The ultra-wealthy will always win there. But the most delicious food, the nicest people, and the most interesting adventures in Italy are ridiculously undervalued. Don't let wealth porn make you feel like you're missing out. If you want the good stuff, it's not where you think it is, and it costs much less than you'd think

Take Italy in the off-season: one spectacular city, one deep dive a day, real conversations—no forced fun, no tourist traps. Florence, Naples, Venice, Rome & a creative retreat with illustrator @jkroik at @borgolapietraia_resort

I explain it all in this video episode of the Danielle Oteri Italy podcast. #italy #italytrip #italytripplanning #florence #venice #naples #rome #cilento #paestum

I decided to make something that I wish existed. These off-season adventures in Italy’s iconic cities are gatherings, not tours. I’ll host one amazing curated visit per day and organize four shared meals. There’s no hotel package — choose whatever fits your vibe and budget. My intention is to bring together the best things about a group tour experience — expertise, the elimination of decision fatigue — and leave behind the intensity of the typical group dynamic. This way there’s plenty of room for you to be you. #italy #travelitaly

A small group of Bespoke Trip Planning clients wanted to experience the olive harvest in Cilento. Of course you can find beautiful olives and olive oil throughout Italy, but there’s something about that view. 🌊 ☀️ It’s because I work with Arianna, the amazing @southitalyexpert that I can send clients to little pieces of paradise like this that you could never find on TripAdvisor or with ChatGPT. #cilento #oliveoil #harvest #southernitaly #italytripplanning

✨ Episode 26 is here! ✨
Fra Angelico’s Annunciation at San Marco is one of the most serenely beautiful works of the Italian Renaissance. In this week’s episode, I talk with Alexandra Lawrence @italyalexandra055 about the figure of Gabriel—ethereal, with fancy wings, and a fascinating history that still surprises us today.

Today in Italy, Ferragosto marks the peak of summer and the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The story doesn’t come from the Bible but from stories told in the 5th century: Mary died surrounded by the apostles, and was assumed into heaven, body and soul. My Calabrian grandfather used to say that someone truly good-natured would “go straight to heaven with all their clothes on” — just like Mary.

Murder, Music, and the Madness Behind a Genius

On the night of October 16, 1590, Prince Carlo Gesualdo committed one of history’s most shocking crimes—and then went on to compose some of the most haunted and innovative music.

In this week’s episode of Danielle Oteri’s Italy, I take you from Naples to Ferrara to Irpinia, following the trail of a man whose genius was as intense as his violence. Thanks to Sarah Pompei @theauthenticirpinia and Michael Cirigliano II for leading the way.

Unpopular opinion: Most people shouldn’t bother visiting Florence.

Not unless they’re willing to look past the wine windows and TikTok sandwiches.

Florence isn’t a checklist city or some place to go just because people say it’s clean or safe or pretty. It’s the birthplace of the Renaissance, a city that offers an unparalleled opportunity to put your nose right up to the original artworks of many of the greatest creative geniuses who ever lived.

But most people today miss it completely.

I’m hosting the Florence Deep Dive on July 31 at 8pm ET to help travelers experience the magic that Florence has cast on travelers since the 14th century.

This session is for those who want:
🖼️ Art with meaning
🏛️ History that lives and breathes
🗺️ An itinerary for Florence that avoids all the tourist traps

Are you subscribed to my podcast yet? Episode 22 just dropped this morning. 🇮🇹

I’m launching a new series of Destination Deep Dives — monthly storytelling sessions on Zoom where I walk you through one unforgettable corner of Italy and show you how to build a trip around it.

This won’t be a region-by-region rundown like Stanley Tucci. (And that’s not shade thrown on the Tooch, he’s fantastic.) But your trip isn’t going to follow clean regional lines. Plus you’re probably not going to Italy 20 times, though I hope you do! Instead, I’ll guide you through specific itineraries and subregions that can be paired with marquee destinations like Rome or Florence — places that help you feel something, not just check a box.

The first session is free for all subscribers
 📍Topic: Cilento 📅 Date: Thursday, June 19 🕘 Time: 8PM Eastern (Replay available) 📩 Zoom link at danielleoteri.com

Future sessions will be for paid subscribers only — and each will include a downloadable, customizable itinerary. As the archive grows, so will the value of your membership.

✨ Why These Travelers Skipped the Crowds and Found the Heart of Italy ✨

Meet Matt and Caroline—two thoughtful travelers who took very different journeys through Italy, but with the same goal: cultural depth, emotional connection, and experiences that couldn’t be found in a guidebook or uh….here on Instagram.

🎧 Matt followed his curiosity to Naples, where layers of history unfolded.

🎧 Caroline explored the untouched beauty of Cilento, then connected with her ancestral roots in Calabria.

Both were among my very first trip consultation clients. Years later, they’re still traveling, still curious, and still connected to Italy in a meaningful way. Their stories are filled with practical tips and heartfelt reflections are perfect for anyone planning a trip beyond the usual tourist trail.

Here’s a quick reel of the beautiful experiences I’ve helped to create in Cilento. You probably won’t recognize any of these sites from trending reels, but that’s also part of this magic. ✨ #cilento #italytrip #italy #travelgram #campania #southernitaly

Selling Cilento has never been easy. Unlike the nearby Amalfi Coast—with its endless reels and perfectly posed spritzes —deciding to go to Cilento requires trust that your experience will be more deeply felt than can be captured in a photograph. I’ve been bringing guests here for over 10 years and so many of them have said: “This place changed me.”

The most powerful testament to why this place is special —not just beautiful or interesting—is the nearly 3000 year-old temples in the town of Paestum. They are the most well intact Greek temples in the world and larger than the ones you’ll find in Sicily. The Greeks carefully chose the locations of their temples with the goal to honor the deity in a place where the divine presence could be most strongly felt, seen, and experienced. I have visited the archaeological park around the temples, no less than 100 times and it never fails to give me chills.

Many of my guests have returned multiple times. Others have written me during the pandemic to say their memories of Cilento kept them going. This place stays with you because it asks nothing of you but to be present.

I’m proud to have spent a decade doing the slow, patient work of helping people discover it and very grateful to those who have trusted me to travel to a place they never heard of before, and give themselves over to the experience.

With summer approaching, you may start seeing more about Cilento — the region just south of the Amalfi Coast that’s still undiscovered by mass tourism. (Thank goodness.)

Let me tell you what it really is. The two things it’s most famous for are the ancient Greek temples at Paestum and the best buffalo mozzarella in Italy. It’s also the official birthplace of the Mediterranean Diet.

It’s also where my grandmother came from and longed for after she emigrated to New York. Where my great-grandfather built a statue on the road up to her town called Capaccio — a thank-you to the Madonna of the Granato, who he believed saved his life.

That same statue still stands today, and if you follow the road past it, you’ll arrive at Borgo La Pietraia @borgolapietraia_resort — the resort run by my family, and the place I bring all my guests who want to experience the Cilento that I love. My first small group tour there was in 2015 as you will see from this vintage Hipstamatic photo of me.

With panoramic views of both the Amalfi and Cilento coasts, and nestled at the edge of the Cilento National Park, it’s the perfect base for exploring this region.

This week I’m going to be telling you much more about Cilento including stories from 10 years of bringing guests here. Stories of people who fell in love with a place they never even knew existed.

Naples, 2001. Before iPhones. Before social media. The trip all my professors in Florence told me not to take because Napoli was supposedly dangerous. I fell in love with the city immediately, and it has only grown deeper since. #naples #napoli #film #italy

There may be no place on earth more beautiful than Venice. Streets made of water, luminous color wrapped in light—it’s all a dream.

There’s also no way to escape the fact that it is a tourist city. And it can feel like a theme park, if you overlook the rich history that made the city so beautiful. If you’re visiting, skip the selfie line at the Rialto Bridge and lose yourself in the quiet Gallerie dell’Accademia. Seek out Vittore Carpaccio’s paintings to see Venice in its most powerful era. Look extra closely at his Dream of Saint Ursula. Notice the light in her room as a heavenly message arrives, then see how it falls on her face. That’s the moment you will understand Venice.

La Reggia, of the Royal Palace of Caserta is Italy’s Versailles. Built in the 18th century for the Bourbon kings of Naples, it’s actually bigger than Versailles and that’s on purpose. It was the seat of power for the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, once one of the wealthiest and most important states in Europe.

With over 1,200 rooms, grand fountains with their own aqueduct and sweeping gardens, Caserta is like its own universe.

Until Italy’s unification in 1861, southern Italy was its own kingdom—rich, cosmopolitan, and influential. The punitive taxation that followed the kingdom in southern Italy led to massive emigration. Most descendants of the Italian diaspora today are completely unaware of this royal heritage.

Today, Caserta remains surprisingly under the radar, even though it’s just 30 minutes from Naples by train. You may never have heard of it, but you’ve certainly seen it in the movies. Films including Star Wars, Mission: Impossible III, The Young Pope, and Conclave were shot here.

She’s on nobody’s Florence bucket list — but she should be.

She is not a vision of smoothness and serenity like the Virgin Mary. (Smooth, emotionless faces are the ideal of beauty once again.) This is Mary Magdalene, after years alone in the wilderness in deep meditation following the death and resurrection of Christ.

Her clothes have rotted away. Her hair has grown long enough to cover her body. But her hands and feet are still elegant, though her arms are strong.

Spend time looking at her face, especially her eyes and how they gaze inward. She is a fully grown woman who knows what she cares about — and it’s not what anyone thinks of her but God.

Donatello’s Penitent Magdalene, early 1450s. On view at the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, Florence.

What an honor to bring the cuisine of the Cilento to New York City! Not only that, but to the prestigious James Beard Foundation and their Platform event space in the middle of Pier 57. @platformbyjbf So many of the attendees are planning to visit Cilento and stay at @borgolapietraia_resort while so many others are guests who have traveled with us before. The dinner was also a joyous reunion of friends.

Chef Mario of @pietre_di_borgolapietraia and family came from Italy and fully embraced New York City and all of the delicious things to eat.

Paola and Bruno DeConciliis generously donated their wines so guests could taste the earth of Cilento itself. @viticoltorideconciliis @tempa_di_zoe

The whole team at the James Beard Foundation couldn’t have been more welcoming or more professional. These folks are pros and it has been the honor of a lifetime to work with you.

Also thanks to @streamingme for taking photos! A la prossima!

Episode 13 of the Tante Belle Cose, an Italy Travel podcast visits, ancient and modern spas.

It starts in Pompeii with a recent discovery of a spa inside of a private house, albeit a very wealthy one. This discovery a test to a very wealthy political family living right inside the urban grid Pompeii, who would’ve used the spa to entertain important guests. @pompeii_parco_archeologico

Then it goes to Baia where you will learn about the ruins which are both underwater and above ground. The resort at Baia was the most lavish in the entire Roman empire because of the amazing geothermal waters just west of Naples. after your visit to the archaeological park, go visit@stufedinerone

The next step is Ischia and the spa which is considered the oldest in the world, Nitrodi. Here you can stand under hydrotherapy showers and receive the same treatments. The Romans did with water that is said to create miraculous cures for skin and stomach problems. @fontedelleninfenitrodi

Finally, you’ll visit the Baths of Caracalla, which could accommodate up to 1600 bathers. It had a gym, library, lecture halls and heated floors.

This episode is full of advice and tips for integrating, archaeology and relaxation into your Italy trip. I hope you listen. If you enjoy it, please share. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube. #italy🇮🇹 #spa #spaday #history #italytravel #italytrip #travelpodcast

Episode 8 of the Tante Belle Cose Podcast is all about Antica Trattoria Di Pietro.

The very best part of this job are the days when our favorite guides take us out to show us what’s possible beyond the most famous sites. And then we eat! And for those of you who have toured Rome with Margherita, she says our clients are always the best. 🏆🇮🇹🙏

A long weekend in Napoli #italy🇮🇹 #italytrip #napoli #naples

Yesterday at @borgolapietraia_resort I walked into the dining room to see this group of girls drawing from postcards featuring Jenny Kroik’s paintings. I suddenly felt tears rolling down my face! I still cant quite verbalize why, but seeing these beautiful kids inspired by the beautiful art of my beautiful friend…well, it moved me. That is the power of art. ✨✨

Jenny will be returning to Cilento for a third year to host a week of art making. In 2025 we’re calling it “Jenny Kroik’s Art Colony” and this session is timed with the longest days of the year and the most amazing light and sunsets. We’ll swim in turquoise waters, bake bread, explore ancient temples, and have plenty of time in beautiful environs to be inspired and make art.

Want to join us? Send me a DM and I’ll send you the itinerary.

The olive harvest began today at Borgo La Pietraia. The crew worked hard all day and Lenù did absolutely nothing but look adorable. If you’d like to learn more about olive oil from the Cilento National Park, listen to Episode 5 of the Tante Belle Cose podcast, “”The Story of Ventiolivi.”

After so many years spent working at the @metcloisters it was wonderful to bring guests to Padula to see the largest cloister in the world. This Carthusian monastery was founded in 1306 and once home to over 300 monks. It was elaborate and filthy rich and also deeply holy. One guest called it “a mystery school.” Much of its art and library was looted by Napoleon, and it’s now the property of the Italian state as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll find it deep in the countryside on the border of Campania and Basilicata just in front of the village of Padula. #italytrip #italy🇮🇹 #travelitaly #feasttravel #italia #campania #basilicata #padula #spiritualjourney #cloister

Every neighborhood of Naples is different and for shopping, strolling, and spritzing, the Chiaia is so beautiful. There’s Prada and Gucci and all that but there are so many more independent boutiques and shops with the most gorgeous things for sale. The architecture is mostly Liberty Style (art nouveau) and everyone looks like a million bucks. #Napoli #naples #italy #italy🇮🇹 #italytravel #italytrip #italyiloveyou #feasttravel

I visited the beautiful new @mondadoristore in Naples with Jenny, the famous painter of bookstores! #naples #napoli #book #booklover ##bookstagram #booknerd #booklove #jennykroik #italytravel #feasttravel

Episode 3 of Tante Belle Cose is all about tours. I talk with Petulia Melideo of @contexttravel and if you would like my less demure opinions on the good and bad tour companies, join our trip planning community on Substack. #italytrip #italy🇮🇹 #travelitaly #feasttravel #rome #tour

If you’ve self-planned your Italy itinerary but are unsure if it will deliver the trip you’re dreaming about, let me take a look and give you my best advice and suggestions.

If you’re now doubting all that *very* confident advice you got from a Facebook group full of people who have visited Italy exactly once, it will put your mind at ease to get a professional eye on your itinerary. (Seriously, why is everyone in those groups so insistent that you go carry-on only?)

How it works: Go to our website and fill out the questionnaire on the Trip Audit page. There’s also a place to upload your itinerary in whatever form it’s in right now.

I’ll review it and then record a video walking through your itinerary and answering your questions. I’ll also send you a list of resources for whatever it is you need, whether it’s restaurant recommendations, tours, or if you need someone to help you strategize for trains, planes, and automobiles. It will be delivered to you in 48 hours.

Italy is the most gorgeous country, filled with inspiring people who are masters of what they do but not always so good at marketing. The best folks are working one-on-one with their clients and relying on referrals, not pumping money into SEO and social media ads, which means you won’t find them on Google. A Trip Audit is your shortcut to the good stuff. #italy🇮🇹 #italytrip #travelitaly #tripplanning #traveladvisor #italygram #feasttravel

If you’ve been thinking about joining us for Jenny Kroik’s Grand Tour in October, it’s time ti register! Only 2 rooms available! #italy #art #painting #artretreat

Mass tourism has come to Naples, but the shops in the narrow alleys around the church of San Domenico Maggiore have banded together to remain dedicated to artisanship. Visit this fascinating Renaissance church, then explore the boutiques you will encounter as you exit that have the sticker in their window that says Insula San Domenico.⁣

The most popular places in Italy are not necessarily the best places. They are, however, the most convenient meaning they are really set up to receive tourists, largely English-speaking ones. If that’s what you’re seeking, you’ll find places like Sorrento to be ideal. However, if you’re looking for a different experience of Italy that digs in more deeply to Italian culture, don’t be afraid to deviate from what seems to be the most popular.

Today I went on a day trip to Positano. Well it’s one of the most popular places in Italy, it’s not one of my favorites. (Yes, I know I can hear you gasping.) It’s one of the epicenters of mass tourism in the world and if it’s a place, your heart truly yearns to see, there’s a way to do it justice. ⁣
