Our story

Our Story

We always say that fate brought us together on the eve of July 10, 2009 in the hills of Sorrento, Italy. With a view of the azzurro sea, surrounded by lemon and olive groves, that evening a boy from Naples, Italy met a girl from Lexington, Kentucky, USA; their futures, dreams, and roots spontaneously interwoven. At that moment, after years of working for top international tour companies in the Italian travel industry, we decided to take a step back, focus on our growing family, and find a way to provide independent travelers with a simplistic, personal, and affordable option of booking dream travel to our beloved Italy.

What we do

Azzurro Dream Travel was created in 2015 to support independent explorers by offering travel advice, custom itineraries, and sustainable small group travel to Italy. We offer a convenient solution to traditional travel booking by connecting individuals and families with the most reputable local businesses to make their Italian travel experience personalized and memorable. Through our slow travel philosophy, we aim to positively impact the local economy and community. We believe that by establishing local, human connection to a culture, we create our most memorable travel experiences. We partner only with companies bearing the highest standards and reviews as well as those we have personally booked and passionately support as a family of 5. By joining our newsletter, you will have access to hand-picked travel tips and unique opportunities for families, couples, as well as travelers who fly solo.
