Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only work with Italy?
Yes.
Italy is the only destination I specialise in because I believe expert advice requires deep first-hand knowledge rather than superficial familiarity.
Can I plan my own trip and only ask for your advice?
Absolutely.
Many clients come to me after they've already started planning.
Whether you need a second opinion, help refining your itinerary or guidance on specific decisions, the consultation is tailored to your needs.
Do I have to book everything through you?
No.
The consulting service is completely independent.
If you prefer to make your own bookings, that's perfectly fine.
Implementation is optional.
Do you book flights?
No.
My focus is planning your journey within Italy. I can, however, give advice on airlines, routes, seasons x price, layovers, etc.
How much does the consultation cost?
Every journey is different.
The level of support depends on your trip and your needs.
I'll recommend the most appropriate level of consulting after our initial conversation.
Is this only for luxury travel?
No.
Good planning is not about spending more.
It's about spending wisely.
Can you work with any budget?
Yes.
The objective is always the same:
Helping you make better travel decisions.
What happens during the consultation?
We'll discuss your travel style, priorities, expectations and ideas.
The consultation is the beginning of the planning process—not a sales call.
Will you decide everything for me?
No.
Every important decision is made together.
Can you help if I've already booked part of my trip?
Yes.
I'll optimise what you already have whenever possible.
Do you only work with couples?
No.
I work with solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
How far in advance should I contact you?
The earlier the better.
Early planning creates more options and better value.
Why should I pay for travel consulting?
Because better decisions save both time and money.
What makes DD Atelier different?
Independent advice.
Professional judgement.
Collaborative planning.
Why not simply use Google or AI?
Information is everywhere.
Judgement isn't.
That's the difference.
