Travel Designer

Livia Lombardi

Livia was born and raised in Florence with Swiss and British origins. After university, she worked in London and Milan. She then arrived in Sicily thanks to a chance encounter and love for a Sicilian (!).

 

Her meeting with Tururi Tours first and then with Trinakria allowed her to use her international experience to help guests discover Sicily, Sardinia, and Puglia.

 

She lives in Palermo with her family (the Sicilian and three children!). With ever greater passion and enthusiasm, she is the leader of this project for the French, Italian and English-speaking.

Our philosophy

To give you the journey and experience of your dreams

When we travel, we are the first to believe in direct contact and authentic knowledge of places, off the beaten track of mass tourism and this is why we like the idea of being your “local” contact.

 

Experts in the organization of self-drive tours to Sicily, Sardinia, and Puglia, we offer travel routes to these destinations, which we know and love. We design trips to immerse you in the region’s history and the life of its inhabitants, at your own pace and with complete independence. Of course, you will want to visit the must-see sites…, but perhaps you would like to get off the beaten track and discover a lesser-known historical or natural site!

 

We are committed to offering you a selection of farmhouses, bed&breakfasts, charming hotels, and a car to get around. The rest is up to you: the duration of your stay, the dates of departure, the style of accommodation, as well as choosing, if you wish, among our many themed tourism options (wine tasting, cooking classes, trekking on Etna, street food experience, city guides or archaeological sites, etc.).

 

We offer authentic and relaxing holidays with direct contact with local cultures and travel on the principle of sustainable tourism.

We personally select all the hotels we offer
