Villa Vita International came into existence out of pure affection for this beautiful place, warm, friendly people and enchanting culture. My wish is to share this beauty as we focus on many of the traditions that preserve living la dolce vita.
My name is Gina Ruggiero and I have been in the travel industry since 1994 specializing in vacations to Italy. Unable to always find the “perfect holiday experience” for many of my clients, I set out to create it. With a family background rich in Italian culture, hosting Villa Vita International holidays became a natural transition. Finding the perfect setting and including the ideal activities is a treat I just love to share.
And I LOVE to keep things SIMPLE! Years of being in a large corporation for leisure travel have left me with a strong desire to embrace flexibility and get back to the basics. We at Villa Vita focus on a true passion for sending people to Italy while offering an independent holiday specific to unique interests. We avoid the larger groups but do not leave you to find your way on your own either- unless of course like me, you consider this part of the fun!
Along with my Italian friends and colleagues Alessandro Guerrieri from Il Borgo, Giuseppe Mazzocchi from The Tuscan Cook, Ilario Ghezzi from Il Postalino, and many other local property owners, guides and hosts, we join together to provide you with a very special vacation. Please call us for a unique and memorable experience savoring the wonderful pleasures of Italy.
Tanti Auguri a Tutti!
