Bellini Travel
London-based Italy specialist Bellini Travel focuses on high-end, high-touch, insider-access trip-planning, but they can also make their secret stash of privately owned apartments available to those not otherwise taking full advantage of their soup-to-nuts services (think: a three bedroom palazzo near Piazza Navona with a chef and butler). Their itineraries are just as insider-y, and the latest additions to their roster includes access to artists studios and impressive private collections with a contemporary art expert, and for families, ice cream making at a private home in Trastevere.
