About






Destiny Italy strives to offer the discerning traveller creative holiday options in some of the most charming locations in Italy.  Australian Italophiles Michelle Jacobson & Lewis Hanna have been discovering Italy for many years - until, finally in 2004 we decided on a permanent move from the west coast of Australia.   Now we are unravelling the many layers of daily life while restoring a rural property in Umbria.

Since 2005 we have been sharing our experiences through Destiny Italy Tours -- because we live here and have come to know our locale exceptionally well, we have offered what we consider to be the best holiday experiences and destinations.  As new discoveries unfold - we will add them to our itineraries.  So - on your next visit to Italy allow us to introduce you to our friends who will invite you into their homes, their restaurants, their gardens where we guarantee you will enjoy a memorable experience of genuine Italian hospitality.

Destiny Italy whole-heartedly embraces Slow Tourism and aims to promote sustainable tourism practices by supporting small local enterprises at all times - and take pleasure in organising and hosting both guided and self-guided holidays for the creative spirit.   Our itineraries will take you well off the beaten tourist track to discover the hidden treasures of rural landscapes while still being within reach of some of the most delightful cities and villlages in existence.  Our holidays are for those of you seeking something a little different -- with a personal and unexpected element.

Destiny Italy tours are relaxed affairs for no more than 8 people allowing plenty of time to immerse yourselves into local culture and rhythm of life.    This is laid - back - holiday - style with the opportunity for spontaneous indulgences.   Full day excursions  - hosted by ourselves - are available for those of you staying nearby and wanting to escape to the countryside for the day.   You will need to arrange this by emailing me.

The accommodation we have chosen has been selected for the following qualities... Comfort - presentation - friendliness - uniqueness and location.   We think you will appreciate the attention to detail as much as we do.    And we will happily compile a definative list of recommendations for sightseeing, eating out and special interest excursions, which we hope will provide invaluable information for our guests.


We look forward to your company on your next visit to L'Italia!

A presto..

Michelle and Lewis
