REAL ITALY

Christmas Edition

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain.

🎄 Buon Natale & Benvenuti! 🇮🇹

I’m Sasha, your Travel Director, and I’m so happy to welcome you to Real Italy – Christmas Edition! We’re about to spend the holidays discovering the magic of Italy — from the timeless beauty of Rome to the canals of Venice, the charm of Tuscany, and the sparkling coast of Sorrento.

Along the way, we’ll soak in the lights and atmosphere of Italian Christmas markets, explore world-famous sights, and share unforgettable moments — including a special 🎄 Christmas Eve dinner at a beautiful villa in the Tuscan hills.

This site is your personal hub for the journey: itineraries, daily updates, optional experiences, travel tips, and everything in between.

Italy is ready. Christmas is coming 🎅✨

Let’s make it unforgettable — together. ❤️

Meet Your Travel Director

I’m Sasha — born in Slovenia, just five miles from the Italian border, in the bilingual town of Koper. Italy has always been more than a neighbor to me — it’s been a second home.

For over 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading guests through its landscapes, languages, and layers of history. Growing up in a region shaped by both Italian and Slavic cultures gave me a unique perspective — one I love sharing with travelers who want to go beyond the surface.

This year, I’m especially excited to spend Christmas with all of you. We’ll share this festive season not just as travelers, but as a little holiday family — celebrating together, making memories, and enjoying every moment of our Italian Christmas adventure. 🎄❤️
