How Booking Works
To preserve the quality and intimacy of the experience, all arrangements are handled personally.
Once you inquire, availability is confirmed, you are guided through the itinerary and overall experience structure, and your reservation is secured upon receipt of deposit.
Payments are made directly to Sandra Ferretti and/or Philip Ferretti, each operating as independent travel planners and on-the-ground hosts, coordinating services with selected third-party providers.
Deposit & Payment Policy
A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due 150 days prior to the experience start date.
Reservations are confirmed upon receipt of the deposit. Payments are accepted via bank transfer or secure electronic payment.
Failure to complete payment by the specified deadline may result in cancellation of the reservation and forfeiture of any payments made.
Accommodation & Room Allocation
Accommodations are provided at carefully selected boutique properties that reflect the style and quality of the experience. Specific room assignments, views, or room categories are not guaranteed unless explicitly confirmed in writing.
In the event that a confirmed accommodation becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond control, the hosts reserve the right to provide an alternative property of equal or higher standard at no additional cost to the guest.
Cancellation Policy
• 150 days or more prior to arrival: Full refund minus a €75 administrative fee
• 149 days or less prior to arrival: All payments are non-refundable
This policy reflects the advance commitments required to secure accommodations and services. No refunds or credits will be issued for late arrivals, early departures, missed activities, or unused services.
Important Booking Notice
While the hosts coordinate and facilitate services provided by independent third-party suppliers, they remain responsible for the overall delivery of the curated experience and will make reasonable efforts to resolve any service issues and provide appropriate alternatives where necessary.
Third-Party Providers & Limitation of Liability
The hosts shall not be held liable for any injury, loss, damage, delay, or inconvenience arising from acts, omissions, or performance of third-party providers.
Any claims related to service delivery must be addressed directly with the respective provider. Participation in all activities is voluntary and at the client’s own risk.
Assumption of Risk & Client Responsibility
Participation in travel experiences involves inherent and unavoidable elements of unpredictability. By confirming participation, clients voluntarily assume all associated risks.
Clients are responsible for ensuring they are physically and medically fit to participate. Any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or special requirements must be communicated in advance. While every effort will be made to accommodate requests, this cannot be guaranteed.
Itinerary Changes & Flexibility
The itinerary is thoughtfully designed; however, adjustments may be necessary due to weather, seasonal availability, supplier changes, or operational considerations.
The hosts reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions, including accommodations, experiences, and service providers, when necessary. Any such substitutions will be of equal or higher standard and will not materially diminish the overall quality or intent of the experience.
Guests acknowledge that they are purchasing a curated travel experience rather than individual standalone services, and that flexibility is an inherent part of the program.
No refunds will be issued for reasonable substitutions made in accordance with this clause.
Group Experience & Conduct
This experience is designed as a small-group program. Respectful and appropriate behavior is expected at all times.
The hosts reserve the right to remove any participant whose behavior is disruptive, unsafe, or negatively impacts the group experience. In such cases, no refund will be issued.
Personal Belongings
Clients are responsible for their personal belongings at all times. The hosts are not liable for loss, theft, or damage to personal items.
Travel Documents
Clients are responsible for ensuring they have valid passports, visas, and any required travel documentation. No refunds will be issued for failure to obtain proper documentation.
Photography & Media
Photos or videos may be captured during the experience for marketing and promotional purposes. Participation constitutes consent unless written notice is provided in advance.
Pricing & Currency
All prices are listed in Euro (€) and are based on current supplier costs, which may be subject to adjustment prior to booking confirmation.
Travel Insurance
Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended to protect your investment, including coverage for cancellations, medical needs, and travel disruptions.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW — ETIAS & DRIVING IN ITALY
ETIAS (European Travel Authorization)
Starting in 2026, U.S. travelers will be required to obtain authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before entering most European countries, including Italy.
ETIAS is a simple online application designed to enhance border security. Once approved, it is typically valid for multiple short stays over several years.
For official information and to apply once the system becomes operational, please visit the official EU website:
https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en
Driving in Italy & Rental Cars
If you plan to rent a car in Italy, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required by law in addition to your valid U.S. driver’s license.
The IDP is a translation document, not a standalone license, and must be obtained before you leave the United States. It can only be issued by an authorized organization such as AAA.

Important Driving Note – ZTL Zones
Many historic city centers in Italy operate ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) zones, which are restricted traffic areas monitored by cameras.
Driving into a ZTL without proper authorization can result in automatic fines, often issued weeks or months after your trip.
For this reason, we recommend using private drivers for city visits or parking outside historic centers and entering on foot.
During our retreat experiences, all scheduled transportation is provided (except to and from airports), so a rental car is not required for the program .
We are always happy to advise you on rental cars, private drivers, and arrival and departure logistics. Our goal is to make your experience effortless and stress-free from the moment you arrive.
