Independent Tours

Not everyone can travel on a set departure date with a group of other travelers. For those who want more flexibility and choice we offer our Independent Vacations that depart on any day of the week with as few or as many fellow travelers as you like. Take these as standalone vacations or add them as pre or post extensions to our small group escorted tours and stretch your travel dollar further.
Donna Franca offers a genuine taste of the Italy she knows and loves. Stay in an 18th century fortified fortress, a charming 19th century hotel, a noble’s ancient country villa, or a 5-star hotel with a private balcony overlooking the Mediterranean. Enjoy a small group private meeting with the Commissioner of the Fashion Industry in Florence, cruise the Amalfi coast in your private 78-foot yacht (complete with crew), stroll through lemon and olive groves while wine tasting or learn how to prepare regional specialties in Tuscany.
Not everyone who travels to Italy knows how to choose just the “right place” to stay at just the “right price,” where to go for an exceptional dinner or where to shop for an authentic bargain. Donna Franca, a native of Italy, continues to do extensive research to find the best hotels and exclusive palatial hideaways. Many of our castles, country inns and villas are owned by wealthy Italians looking forward to sharing their lives by hosting Donna Franca travelers. You don’t need to be rich and famous to afford a very special place in Italy!
