No travel advisor has personally stayed at every hotel—but the right advisor knows exactly where to turn for reliable answers. ✈️

This photograph brings together Classic Vacations Star Performers, company leadership and some of the travel advisors I respect most in the industry.

These professional relationships directly benefit my clients.

When I need firsthand insight about a hotel or destination I have not personally experienced, I do not simply ask, “Is it good?”

I ask:

✨ Who is the property right for?

✨ Which room categories are worth the investment?

✨ What are the location and transportation realities?

✨ What did clients love—and what disappointed them?

✨ Would it fit someone with my client’s expectations, priorities and travel style?

My recommendations are supported by my own travel experience whenever possible, along with trusted vendors, destination partners, my host agency, consortium and close community of professional travel advisors.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel. The value is not pretending to know everything. It is having the experience, professional relationships and judgment to find the right answer before placing a client into the wrong trip.

If you are in this photograph and would like to be tagged, please send me a DM.

“I want to go on safari” does not describe one uniform trip. 🐘

Kenya, Botswana and South Africa can create very different combinations of wildlife, landscapes, lodge styles, transportation and daily experiences.

The right safari depends on questions such as:

🦁 Which animals and landscapes matter most to you?
🛩️ Are you comfortable with small aircraft and remote camps?
🏕️ Do you prefer an intimate tented camp or a larger lodge?
🚙 How much time do you want to spend on game drives?
🌊 Would you like to combine safari with a city, wine region or beach?
💰 What overall investment feels comfortable?

Some of my favorite safari memories are not only the wildlife sightings. They are also moments like this—pausing beneath a tree, sharing a meal and appreciating where we are.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel. I have personally traveled in Kenya, Botswana and South Africa. I combine that experience with specialist safari partners and trusted local resources to help clients choose the safari that fits them.

Which matters most to you: wildlife, accommodations, scenery or the complete experience?

Ireland may look compact on a map—but the way you travel through it can completely change the experience. ☘️

The right transportation may include:

🚗 Self-driving for independence and flexibility
🚆 Trains between cities where rail makes sense
🧑‍✈️ A private driver for convenience and local knowledge
🚌 Small-group or escorted touring
🏨 Staying in fewer locations and taking longer day trips
🧳 A combination designed around the itinerary

Each option has tradeoffs.

Self-driving provides freedom but requires navigating unfamiliar roads. Trains simplify certain routes but do not reach every place travelers want to experience. Private drivers offer flexibility without the stress of driving, while repeated day trips may reduce hotel changes but create longer days.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel. I combine firsthand experience in Ireland with feedback from clients, trusted local vendors and my professional advisor community.

I do not design an Ireland itinerary by measuring miles alone. I consider road conditions, sightseeing stops, scenic detours, hotel locations and how the journey will actually feel.

Would you rather self-drive through Ireland—or leave the driving to someone else?

The Amalfi Coast is beautiful—but beauty does not remove the hills, steps or transportation challenges. 🇮🇹

The dramatic landscape that makes this part of Italy so extraordinary can also make it difficult for travelers with mobility concerns—or anyone who simply dislikes steep walking.

Before choosing a town or hotel, consider:

👟 The number of steps and hills
🏨 The hotel’s exact location and entrance
🚗 Access for drivers and transfers
🧳 How luggage will reach the property
🍽️ Whether restaurants and shops are easily accessible
⛴️ How you plan to travel between coastal towns

The right solution may be a carefully selected hotel, private transportation, a different coastal base or another Italian destination offering beautiful scenery with fewer daily challenges.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel and an Italy and Greece specialist. My firsthand travel throughout Italy, client feedback and trusted local partners help me evaluate how destinations work beyond their photographs.

I will not tell you only that the Amalfi Coast is beautiful. I will explain what the experience realistically requires and help determine whether it is right for you.

Would the views be worth the hills and steps?

How many Italian cities can you visit in 10 days? Probably more than you should. 🇮🇹

Rome, Florence, Venice and the Amalfi Coast may all fit on a map, but every transition uses part of your vacation.

Traveling between destinations involves more than the train or driving time. It also means checking out, reaching the station, handling luggage, waiting, transferring to the next hotel, checking in and becoming familiar with another location.

Some travelers genuinely enjoy moving quickly. Others would rather experience fewer places more deeply, enjoy their hotel and leave room for an afternoon without a schedule.

There is no perfect number of cities for everyone.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel and an Italy and Greece specialist. Through extensive personal travel in Italy and more than 30 trips to Europe, I understand how an itinerary that looks efficient on paper can feel rushed once you are living it.

I do not measure a successful Italy vacation by the number of cities completed. I design the journey around the people taking it.

Would you rather see more places—or spend more time in each one?

Is Athens more than a stopover before the Greek islands? Absolutely. 🇬🇷

Many travelers plan one quick night in Athens before continuing to Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos or Paros. But treating Athens only as an airport connection can mean missing an important part of the Greek experience.

Beyond the Acropolis, Athens offers:

🏛️ Ancient landmarks and remarkable museums
🍷 Rooftop dining with unforgettable views
🛍️ Local markets and lively neighborhoods
🍽️ Traditional Greek food and contemporary restaurants
🚶 Streets where ancient and modern Greece exist side by side

The right amount of time depends on your interests, arrival schedule and complete itinerary. For many travelers, two or three nights creates a more comfortable beginning or ending and avoids squeezing Athens between an international flight and an island connection.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel and an Italy and Greece specialist. Having personally spent time in Athens and traveled throughout Greece, I help clients balance the city, islands and transportation without making the journey feel rushed.

Would you spend more time in Athens—or head directly to the islands?

Which Hawaiian island is right for you? 🌺

Saying “I want to go to Hawaii” is only the beginning of the planning conversation. Each island creates a different vacation, and the island your friend loved may not be the one that best fits you.

Some travelers prioritize beautiful beaches and resort time. Others want dramatic scenery, waterfalls, history, local food or active exploration.

The right choice also depends on:

🌴 Your preferred pace
🌊 How much beach time you want
🥾 Your interest in exploring
✈️ Available flights and trip length
🏨 The resort experience you envision
🧳 Whether changing islands will add value—or simply add more travel

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel and a recognized Hawaii travel advisor. My recommendations draw from firsthand island experience, years of client feedback and trusted professional resources.

I do not recommend an island simply because it is the most popular. I help determine which island, hotel and itinerary best fit the way you want to experience Hawaii.

What matters most to you in Hawaii: beaches, scenery, culture or adventure?

You may contact me believing you already know exactly where you want to go—and that is where our conversation begins. ✈️

A destination name does not always describe the experience you actually want.

You may say “Italy” when what you really want is a relaxing coastal escape with beautiful views and memorable meals.

You may say “Costa Rica” while imagining a beachfront resort with volcanoes, wildlife and hot springs immediately nearby.

You may say “Maldives” when what you truly want is privacy, extraordinary water and a romantic overwater bungalow.

My job is to listen beyond the destination name.

I consider the atmosphere, pace, experiences, budget and priorities you describe. If your original destination fits, I will professionally plan it. If another destination would deliver the experience more successfully, I will explain why.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel. You are not hiring me simply to make reservations. You are hiring my experience, judgment, professional resources and honest guidance.

When your vacation is ready to leave the group chat, send me a message.

Where are you currently dreaming of going?

08/29/2026

Your best friend can help you dream about the trip—but that does not mean her favorite resort is the right one for you. ✈️

A resort can be beautiful, highly rated and perfect for someone else while still being completely wrong for the way you want to travel.

Your friend may love:

✨ A packed activity schedule
✨ A lively pool and nightlife
✨ A remote location
✨ Several restaurant choices
✨ A large, energetic resort

You may want quiet, privacy, easy beach access, a smaller property or enough unscheduled time to truly relax.

I do not ask only whether someone liked a resort. I consider who liked it, why they liked it and whether their expectations resemble yours.

So call your bestie, order the Spritz and start dreaming. Then call me to determine which destination, resort and experience actually fit you.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel. I thoughtfully plan personalized vacations for clients throughout the United States.

Where would you and your best friend go?

08/28/2026

You’re not asking for another packed itinerary. You’re asking for permission to finally exhale. 🌴

But the resort that feels restorative to one traveler may feel completely wrong to another.

Some people recharge with quiet mornings, privacy and uninterrupted time beside the water. Others want restaurants, entertainment and enough activity to stay engaged without feeling scheduled.

That is why I do not recommend a resort simply because it is beautiful or highly rated.

I listen to how you want the vacation to feel, then consider the destination, atmosphere, location, room category and overall pace before recommending the right fit.

I’m Jeanine Cioffi, founder and custom travel advisor at Lavishly Travel. I thoughtfully plan personalized resort vacations for clients throughout the United States.

If you are overdue for the kind of trip that actually lets you reset, send me a message with your travel window.

What helps you recharge: complete quiet or a little activity?
