About IC Bellagio
More than a Journey
At IC Bellagio, travel has always been about people.
Founded in 1999 by Andrea Grisdale, IC Bellagio designs bespoke journeys across Italy, shaped by care, authenticity and a deep connection to each destination. Every journey begins with listening: understanding each traveler’s interests, pace and priorities before thoughtfully bringing together the places, people and experiences that will make their time in Italy truly personal.
Guided by deep local knowledge, continuous travel throughout Italy and relationships built over more than twenty-six years, we create journeys that feel seamless, immersive and genuinely connected to the places they explore.
At the heart of IC Bellagio will always be our commitment to creating extraordinary journeys. Around this core, we have built a trusted ecosystem of travel advisors, hotels, local partners and artisans who, through strong relationships, shared knowledge and a common desire to create meaningful value through travel, form the IC Bellagio community.
For us, the value of travel extends beyond the journey itself, creating connections and opportunities that continue long after our travelers return home.
In 1999, Andrea Grisdale founded Italian Connection Bellagio, using her experience in the travel industry to create tailor-made Italian experiences for discerning clients. After more than twenty years in the business, IC Bellagio has become Italy’s premiere destination management company, winning award after award from such prestigious organizations as Conde Nast, Wendy Perrin and Travel + Leisure.
Why choose IC Bellagio?
We Listen
Every journey begins with understanding. We take the time to learn what matters to each traveler: their interests, pace, preferences and priorities. The more we know, the more thoughtfully we can shape a journey that feels entirely their own.
We Know Italy
Our team is continuously traveling throughout Italy, discovering new places, revisiting familiar ones and strengthening relationships across the country. This first-hand knowledge allows us to recommend what genuinely works for each traveler and create journeys that feel authentic, relevant and deeply connected to their destination.
Seamless from Start to Finish
Behind every journey is meticulous planning, clear communication and careful coordination. From the first conversation to the moment guests return home, every element is thoughtfully brought together so that the experience flows naturally and travelers can simply enjoy Italy.
24/7 Guest Ambassador Support
Our care continues throughout the journey. Supported by a dedicated Guest Ambassador team available 24/7, guests can travel with ease and confidence, knowing that responsive, on-the-ground assistance is always close at hand.
From a warm welcome to support with the unexpected, itinerary adjustments or recommendations along the way, our Guest Ambassadors provide a reassuring human connection throughout the traveler’s time in Italy.
Our Community Makes the Difference
We create each journey in close collaboration with our community of trusted partners across Italy: hoteliers, guides, drivers, artisans, local experts and the many people who bring each destination to life.
These long-standing relationships allow us to open doors to experiences that go beyond the expected: from meaningful encounters and hands-on traditions to privileged access and moments travelers may never discover on their own.
At the same time, they allow travel to create value beyond the journey itself, supporting local businesses, traditions and communities across Italy.
Always Evolving
We are always learning. We listen to our travelers, travel advisors and partners, continually refining the way we work, strengthening our knowledge and exploring new ways to make every experience even better.
Continuous improvement is part of our culture and part of our commitment to everyone connected to IC Bellagio.

Through her work within and beyond IC Bellagio, Andrea continues to share knowledge, champion the people and stories behind Italy, and explore how travel can create opportunities that reach far beyond the journey itself.
At the heart of her vision is a simple belief: the success of IC Bellagio should be measured not only by the extraordinary journeys it creates, but also by the positive difference it can make.
