Prentis-Copeland Family | Truffle Hunt Experience
“With my family onboard we decided to try Truffle Hunting with a wonderful guide and two well-trained beautiful sweet dogs. What an exciting morning. The weather was smiling on us as we followed the guide through paths in the woods. The dogs found the spots often near oak trees and there they would dig and dig and the guide would move them over while he proceeded to gently dig up the truffle. It was an exciting time for everyone as he held up the truffle. It was a memorable afternoon as we traveled back to the villa for a delicious lunch all inspired by truffles. I recommend it for anyone but especially families.”
Ken and Sally Heffron, North Andover, MA
“We are immensely grateful to DF Tailored Travel for making Sally’s dream a reality and for helping us create everlasting memories for our 50th Anniversary. The hospitality and attention to detail were unmatched, and we cannot thank you enough.”
Wendy & Mike, Dallas TX, USA
“Our experience with DF Tailored Travel & Lifestyle was fantastic. Knowledge, empathy, and responsiveness were hallmarks that were demonstrated from our first contact until our trip was completed. We learned about Daniela’s services from a friend. Ultimately, she planned four different experiences for us: a day in Florence, a day in Pienza and Montalcino with a unique cheese and boutique Brunello winery visit with lunch, a Venetian Limousine Boat Tour on Lake Como & Bellagio, and a day in Milan. We received individualized attention and all the experiences the guides were communicative in advance and good fun (in addition to their extensive knowledge). Additionally, on very short notice, DFTL was able to get us a great hotel in Florence.”
Dr. Maloney, Georgia, USA
“Daniela is the absolute most amazing travel planner I have ever worked with. I have traveled the world and worked with several travel consultants over the years, and Daniela sets a whole new standard for the industry. The Holy land trip she planned for us was beyond amazing. Thank you!!!”
PAT, MASSACHUSETTS, USA
“Not only is Daniela a joy to be around, she knows her country and her business of bringing the best of it to the people she works with. This will forever be one of my most memorable trips.”
CELESTE, GEORGIA, USA
“I have used Daniela for both family vacations and romantic getaways to Florence. Every time the experience has been nothing short of magical. Our adventures were custom designed, not out of a travel book. Isn’t that how everything in Italy should be?”
GABRIELLA AND TIAGO, BOSTON, USA
“I cannot put into words how appreciative I am for Daniela’s help in orchestrating Tiago’s proposal! The entire experience was a fairytale. Daniela truly made our holiday to Italy, more specifically Florence, unforgettable in so many ways.”
MEAGHAN, CHARLOTTE, USA
“A hearty thank you to the DFTL team for the diligent thorough assistance, coordination and fabulous travel planning for a wonderfully enjoyed trip to Florence, Italy and Rome. Daniela made our trip unforgettable for 5 happy couples! We left filled with good eats with spot on dining reservations, fine wine and our minds exploding with Florentine history and knowledge. There will always be a special place in our hearts for Florence- thank you DF Tailored Travel & Lifestyle!”
LOWNEY FAMILY, USA
“I would like to give my highest regards to the service DF provided for me and my family while vacationing in Florence and Venice! Daniela was extremely attentive and the activities/dining recommendations were top notch! They took care of everything (including making the reservations) and put my mind at ease which allowed me, my wife and four daughters to have one of the best vacations of all time! I’m so very thankful for finding Daniela’s website and would never hesitate to use them in the future. Thank you so very much! 5 out of 5 stars!”
JAMES, ITALY
“Daniela combines an extremely rare mix of absolute efficiency with exquisite taste, and flair-combined they are a truly holy troika. She is wonderfully amiable, engaging and terrifically connected – not in a contrived way, but in a way where those who meet her remember her, and want to stay in touch with her. She has an innate knowledge of Florence and its surrounds far beyond a guide books and has a warmth that is priceless.”
MEL AND DEAN, ARIZONA, USA
“Our stay in Italy was beyond perfect. Of course the locale doesn’t hurt the experience! Thank you to Daniela and her amazing care. Working with her was fantastic. I will happily promote DFTL to the world. This company is just awesome!”
RENTALA AND YAM FAMILIES, NEW YORK, USA AND HONG KONG, CHINA
“We had a family reunion with ten people in Italy this June and DF Tailored Travel was invaluable in planning the trip and coordinating logistics while we were on vacation. The trip had a number of complexities including families traveling from a number of different cities as far away as Hong Kong, a number of seniors and some of the group could not speak English well. Daniela and her team’s expert knowledge of Italy and local knowledge of the best and most personable guides, activities and itineraries made the trip extra special. It was a true pleasure working with DF Tailored Travel and would highly recommend them to any of our friends and family.”
DAVID AND MARIE, MASSACHUSETTS, USA
“Can dreams come true? They did with Daniela. I was introduced to Daniela by a mutual friend as I wanted to surprise my wife with a 30th anniversary trip to Italy. Her recommendations were spot on and reflected Daniela’s unique breadth of local knowledge and what everyone who uses her services will eventually appreciate, the “magic” of the name Daniela. She has a truly unique perspective and intuition that most don’t have. Thanks to Daniela and her team, we experienced a trip of a life time and wholeheartedly recommend her tailored lifestyle services for your trip of a life time!”
HAYNES FAMILY, USA
“We cannot thank Daniela enough for everything she did to make our few days in Florence so special! From the restaurant reservations to the Fiat and walking tours, we couldn’t have imagined a better visit. Daniela took the time to listen to our thoughts and transform them into a wonderful stay. We hope to return to Florence someday and look forward to visiting more gems of the city via Daniela’s recommendations!”
DARREN, CALIFORNIA, USA
“My family and I have known Daniela for a decade. As a personal concierge for an exclusive vacation club, she helped introduce us to the nooks and crannies of Florence over the course of a week’s visit way back in 2007. Her knowledge and attentiveness was such that we sought her out when we moved to Florence a few years later. She became a close friend and the perfect adviser as we discovered Italy. Since our return to the States, she has continued to help us plan trips from Florence, to greater Europe, to Mexico, always introducing us to experiences we would otherwise never have known existed. We have recommended her to many of our closest friends, and she has always impressed! Thank you, Daniela!”
JODY, CALIFORNIA, USA
“Daniela knows all the hidden gems of Florence, where to shop for that certain treasure you have been dreaming about or perhaps you just want to create a day, an evening, or a few hours where you can lose yourself in the spell of Tuscany.”
BOSELLI FAMILY, BOSTON, USA
“Beyond the tremendous charm and awesome comfort of Tenuta Ceccatelli, we also really valued DF’s bespoke travel planning. The entire family thoroughly enjoyed the carefully chosen and expertly planned activities Daniela and her team organized for us. Three generations of our traveling family remarked about the unique, exquisite experience. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Daniela enabled us to create memories that we will forever cherish and her strengths are shining on us.”
SUE AND JOHN, GEORGIA, USA
“Working with Daniela made us feel like part of the rich culture, history, and cuisine of Florence. Her passion, deep knowledge, and desire to share the secrets of her home city allowed us to experience parts of it we could have never found through any guidebook. We dined at the most delectable hideaways to haute cuisine, and always felt welcomed by her warm introductions.”
BARBARA, CONNECTICUT, USA
“Daniela has a curiosity and natural gift to seek out the best of everything in food, clothing, jewelry, music, art, decoration. Her intelligence, attention to detail and discriminating eye are a constant that she loves to share. She directs her vast storehouse of knowledge in a way that is personal to you.”
BETSY AND PAUL, GEORGIA, USA
“Daniela’s attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Each driver and tour guide she hired for us was professional, personable, courteous and knowledgeable. The restaurant choices for us were amazing! Because of Daniela, our family trip was the most amazing experience.”
JULIE, CALIFORNIA, USA
“Daniela’s excellent taste shows through every experience she creates. Her recommendations in accommodations, experiences and travel guides were all exactly what we were looking for. We look forward to our next tailor made adventure.”
FR. MARK HAYDU LC, ROME, ITALY
“Daniela organized a wonderful event for my book signing. The setting was perfect, the details well cared for, and all the guests had a wonderful time! Thanks Daniela for your elegant and professional help!”
FR. SCOTT MURPHY, CHIESA SANTI APOSTOLI, FLORENCE ITALY
“Anyone can organize an event but uniting elegance, detail and functionality is another story. That is our story with Daniela Fagotti. I never imagined beautiful live music, a stunning setting, delicious hors derves, and a fine selection of wines all together to set the stage for an evening of spiritual reflections and raising funds for a worthy cause.”
LORNA, PENNSYLVANIA, USA
“To say Daniela is competent and knowledgeable is insufficient. She is spot on in her recommendations, and if you trust her enough to put yourself in her hands, you will be pleasantly rewarded. And she does all this with patience and grace!”
KAREN, FLORIDA, USA
“Daniela has a unique ability to find the ultimate locations and experiences. Her style is creative, discriminating and inspiring – her services will leave a lasting impression long after you’ve left the beautiful country of Italy.”
