ITALY [B][A][O]
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
COMPANY PRESENTATION
Italy is one of the most intense, distinctive and diverse countries in the world. We understand that most of what Italy has to offer is still not widely known, and we want to uncover these marvels to our guests.
Italy [B][A][O] is an Italian Travel Conciergerie made of people committed to deliver exclusive and high quality service. We design extraordinary experiences to traditional destinations and to little known but equally amazing areas of our country: travelling with us will make you the guest of honor in a foreign land, your journey tailor-made to experience the best of Italy.
NOMEN “It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date. Roger von Oech “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?” Harry M. Warner, Warner Bros Pictures, about audio movies, 1927
BAO (宝 宝) means “Treasure” (from Greek θησαυρός - thēsauros, meaning "treasure store”, romanized as thesaurus) is a concentration of riches, often one which is considered lost or forgotten until being rediscovered. We believe is appropriated to define our country’s beauty and culture – the real Italy, beside postcards
B.A.O. stands for By Appointment Only We express here the very concept over which stands our service.

Travel Design: The first itinerary outline will be designed according to initial requirements. As further details may emerge, these will be considered in order to determine the experience you are looking for. The final product will include all the additional elements and details defined, while still leaving room to flexibility in order to guarantee your absolute satisfaction. Prices: COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY. Every cost and fee will be detailed as directly applied by property owners and service providers; for our services a separate commission will be listed.
Our Product The product is characterized by a thorough knowledge of the destination: the common logics are bypassed, avoiding getting involved with a static and commercial system. Local and personal contacts are bestowed to our guests, allowing them to share some special moments.
Ø Beside hotels we select historic houses or noble properties, where the landlord plays a key role, providing its local contacts and knowledge. In addition to Michelin restaurants, private homes with adequate local cuisines are preferred, or typical gastronomy’s gourmet. Ø Same goes for private wine cellars or private art collections. Often, especially during social events, suitable private apartments may substitute hotels. Ø When possible, lesser-known regions and areas that avoid overcrowded destinations are proposed Ø All services are always provided by local specialists, people that dedicated their lives to their passions.
