Industry veteran Andrea Grisdale founded Italian Connection Bellagio in 1999, using her experience in the travel industry to create tailor-made Italian experiences for a select group of discerning clients. Now, after twenty years in the business, IC Bellagio has become Italy’s premiere destination management company, serving thousands of clients each year and winning awards and accolades from such prestigious organizations as Conde Nast, Travel + Leisure, Virtuoso and Wendy Perrin. 

It’s all about the client at IC Bellagio: Andrea’s team of destination specialists are great listeners. They know how to turn a client’s dream of Italy into a workable itinerary, providing villa rentals, event planning, chauffeur driven tours and transfers, distinctive luxury accommodation and bespoke trip planning. A lot of energy, passion and on-site legwork go into sourcing – and testing – offbeat, non-Googleable experiences across Italy. IC Bellagio only sells destinations and activities that actually live up to the hype: from a private fashion show in one of Milan's couture ateliers to truffle hunting in the Piedmont. And if clients need to modify their itinerary, deal with an emergency or just find a sympathetic ear, they have 24/7 access to their own personal Guest Ambassador for the duration of the trip.

IC Bellagio’s passion for Italy goes beyond destination management. In addition to Villa dei Sogni, their own luxury villa overlooking Lake Como, the company recently opened Palazzo del Vice Re, a geographically privileged boutique property in the lakeside village of Lezzeno. And giving something back to the community has always been a core company principle: non-profit work for organizations like the revitalization initiative ProLezzeno and our charity work with Cani Guida Limbiate, who work to train and provide 50 guide dogs for the blind per year.
