ABOUT

Meet  Alexandrina Calderon

My journey began long before Explore Dolce Vita. Growing up in Bucharest, I was surrounded by cultures, languages, and the thrill of discovering someplace new. That early curiosity eventually led me to Italy, a country whose beauty and spirit reshaped how I see travel.

I studied Italian culture in depth, earned certification as an Italy Specialist, and immersed myself in the country through countless visits, conversations, and insider connections. Today, Italy is not just a specialty , it is the foundation of the way I design luxury Italy travel, with intention, artistry, and a deep respect for authenticity.

While Italy remains my heart and specialty, I extend this same thoughtful approach to European river cruise experiences. I offer complimentary booking services for curated voyages along Europe's legendary waterways with optional pre- and post-cruise land extensions designed with the same level of care and insider access.

My role is to transform your Italy travel vision into something exceptional. Refined hotels, immersive food and wine experiences, meaningful encounters, and seamless logistics , all tailored to who you are and how you want to experience Italy.

Explore Dolce Vita was created for discerning travelers who value quality, depth, and a sense of connection. If you're looking for a luxury Italy journey that feels personal and beautifully crafted, you're in the right place.

With a deep appreciation for culture, beauty, and the stories behind every destination, I turned my love for travel into a profession. Designing custom journeys allows me to share the world in a personal and meaningful way. Each place has its own rhythm and character, and my role is to reveal its richness through thoughtful, elevated experiences.

What drives me most is helping clients move from inspiration to reality. Whether it’s the quiet awe of standing before a masterpiece, the calm of a private retreat, or the connection found in local culture, I believe travel should stir something within you. It should expand your perspective, spark emotion, and stay with you long after the trip ends.

Through Explore Dolce Vita, I’m dedicated to crafting journeys that feel transformative. From serene moments in Italy to luxurious river cruise voyages across the world, every itinerary is curated with intention, depth, and a sense of discovery. It’s not just about where you go, but how the experience changes you along the way.
