What We Do
"Together, Susan and Biagio made a perfect couple to travel with through Italy. We were so fortunate to have them with our group-to share fantastic food, amazing wine and such a beautiful country. Thanks, Susan and Biagio"! Ralph & Cheryl Gravelle, Tuscany tour
"I have been on two trips to Italy with Monti e Mare, Tasteful Tours of Italy. Both trips were upscale and most enjoyable. Accommodations, food and tours were fabulous. All involved became friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I recommend this company to all". Susan VanApeldoorn, Tuscany and Naples tours
I used Susan Marianetti as our in house cook for a villa in Tuscany and she was wonderful. I would never do a villa without her. All her meals were professionally done and different each day. The quality was excellent and there was always plenty of food and a variety! I would use Susan for any individual private party or catering.. Marilyn Coleman, MJ Travel Services, Rochester, NY
Together we invest our knowledge of Italy to plan your vacation. After gathering wish lists, we build itineraries to introduce Italy to you according to your dreams. We encourage questions and comments to insure your vacation is a complete success! For individual travelers, family gatherings, weddings, and more... we have designed our services around what we do best, hosting visitors to Italy. From the very beginning, Susan will assist the planner with as much or as little input as requested, including finding an ideal location and property to rent, mapping out itineraries, tours, and transportation. Up to 3 couples, Susan personally hosts guests in the area she is living in for the season, often it is the Amalfi region, at Biagio's family home or close to it at another location. From 6-20 travelers Susan is available to travel to the villa location, teach cooking lessons and prepare authentic Italian meals during their stay.
For travel planners...we assist in creating well designed Italian tours for groups from 12 to 20 people which include finding an ideal location and property to rent, mapping out itineraries, tours, transportation, cooking lessons, authentic Italian meals prepared and served by Susan plus the driving services of Biagio.
For additional information and for groups larger than 20 people, please fill out our contact page or send inquiry directly to susan@montiemarevacations.com.
If there is one thing Susan loves to do is cook and share all her secrets and recipes! Cooking should be a snap and as little stress as possible that is why we offer cooking classes in the privacy of your home, our home, or in Italy. We work with you to customize your menu for the evening. We price our services based on how many hours the lesson will be. Shopping and clean up are included!
