About Me

Gorgeous Tuscan Home
Gorgeous Tuscan Home

When it comes to creating an extraordinary vacation, staying in a private villa offers a level of exclusivity, comfort, and personalization that few other experiences can match. Whether you're planning a family getaway to the Caribbean, a wine-filled retreat in Tuscany, a chic escape to the South of France, or a sun-soaked holiday in Greece, I specialize in designing villa experiences that are perfectly tailored to your needs.With 35 years of experience in luxury travel, I understand what makes a holiday exceptional. My expertise, combined with my dedication to personalized service, ensures that every aspect of your villa stay will be seamless and unforgettable.

Here’s why booking with me elevates your travel experience:

1. Tailored to Your Preferences

Every traveler is different, and I take the time to understand your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a beachfront family villa in Turks & Caicos or a vineyard estate in Tuscany, I offer handpicked villas designed to suit your preferences. From villas equipped with child-friendly amenities for family vacations to romantic hillside retreats, I make sure your stay matches your vision.

2. Family-Friendly Caribbean Retreats

The Caribbean is a dream destination for families, and a private villa offers the space and privacy you need. Enjoy direct access to beaches, private pools, and ample outdoor space, all without the crowds of a resort. I can arrange everything from private chefs to family activities like snorkeling and yacht charters, so your vacation is as effortless as it is luxurious.

3. Wine Lovers’ Paradise in Tuscany

For wine enthusiasts, Tuscany offers the ultimate escape. Imagine staying in a centuries-old villa, surrounded by vineyards, with private wine tastings and tours of renowned estates arranged just for you. With access to exclusive vineyard experiences and in-villa chef services, I craft a truly indulgent and personalized wine holiday.

4. Elegant Escapes to the South of France

From the glamorous Côte d’Azur to the rustic charm of Provence, the South of France is perfect for those seeking elegance and relaxation. Whether you prefer lounging by a private pool with a view of the Mediterranean or exploring local markets and vineyards, I’ll ensure your villa experience is both luxurious and immersive.

5. Sun and Fun in Greece

Greece’s stunning islands are perfect for sun-seekers and adventurers alike. From cliffside villas in Santorini to hidden gems in less touristy islands, I offer villas with private beach access, infinity pools, and unparalleled views. Whether you're exploring ancient ruins or enjoying sunset dinners by the sea, I’ll tailor the experience to your preferences.

6. Complete Privacy and Flexibility

One of the greatest advantages of booking a villa is the privacy and flexibility it provides. You set your own schedule, dine when you want, and enjoy your villa without worrying about crowds or interruptions. Whether it’s arranging for a private chef, in-villa spa treatments, or customized excursions, I handle all the details, so you can focus on enjoying your holiday.

7. Insider Access and Exclusive Villas

With decades of industry connections, I provide access to exclusive properties and experiences that are often unavailable through other channels. From last-minute bookings at Michelin-starred restaurants to private vineyard tours, I offer insider perks that elevate your villa stay.

Stress-Free from Start to Finish

When you book with me, I handle every aspect of your trip - from finding the perfect villa to arranging bespoke activities. Should anything arise during your stay, I’m just a phone call away to ensure everything runs smoothly, leaving you free to relax and enjoy.

Conclusion: Your Luxury Villa Awaits

A private villa offers a level of luxury, privacy, and personalized service that traditional hotels can’t match. When you book with me, you’re not just getting accommodation - you’re getting a carefully curated experience designed to create lasting memories. Let me take the stress out of planning and turn your dream holiday into reality.

Professional Service with a Personal Touch
Reviewed By Jody & Marty - Solon, Iowa | Traveled to Danube ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Leslie has a way of nailing down the perfect trip for us. Her knowledge of vacation destinations is vast, and the hotels and excursions she has hooked us up with have been first rate. She's professional, incredibly informed and is keenly aware that one size does not fit all. I appreciate that most of all. At her suggestion we recently took a Danube River cruise on the Scenic Amber. It was first rate. Scenic is a fabulous experience. We met great people and had a wonderful time. We saw beautiful cities along the Danube and, again at her suggestion, did a pre-cruise extension in Prague. It was simply wonderful. I whole-heartedly recommend Leslie. Give her a call for your next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Sailing Adventure
Reviewed By Jane1 - Florida, Ontario | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Three friends from two countries decided to sail the Caribbean last winter. It was a bit complicated to arrange when dealing with two different currencies and schedules. Leslie handled these travel arrangements with courtesy and confidence. She made recommendations for hotels and leisure prior to boarding. She sent a full daily itinerary with photos of how the cruise would roll out. We knew we were in capable hands from the time we initiated the request for travel help to the end of the trip. And she apportioned the expenses appropriately guiding us what was highly recommended and what was optional. We could not have done this on our own. Another trip is brewing in my mind and she will organize it for us. Thank you Leslie

Awesome Cruise Experience
Reviewed By TravelMorein26 - Chattanooga, TN | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Leslie helped us plan a cruise to the Caribbean for Thanksgiving. There were 18 people in our group and she made the process so smooth and seamless for us. All we had to do was pay the fare by the due date. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
