What’s New at Donna Franca Tours?
In 2014, Donna Franca announced the partnership with her son
Leo Locke, a 40-year veteran of the industry. Leo has been one
of the pillars of the company behind the scenes as Vice President.
Due to his extensive product knowledge about Italy as well
as attention to detail, he deserved to become a partner of this
legendary company and to lead Donna Franca Tours into the 21st
century. Donna Franca will continue to be very much involved in
the planning and marketing of her product for her colleagues and
clients. Whether you are experiencing for the first time the unique
beauty that Italy offers or are returning to discover all of Italy’s hidden secrets, the travel
specialists at Donna Franca Tours will create an ideal and personalized vacation based on
your interests, time-frame and budget.
In planning your trip to Italy, consider our new 2016 brochure as an introductory guide
to the many rich and diverse destinations within Italy as our packages represent a tiny
smattering of possibilities. These programs are designed as ‘jumping points’ from which
you will be inspired to create your very own dream vacation to Italy.
New for 2016, we have expanded our selection of unique culinary vacations paired with
wine tasting with your choice of destination. For the adventurous, our Aeolian Islands
Explorer will give you the opportunity to visit Lipari, Stromboli, and Vulcano Islands. Our
Malta Rendezvous vacation features Malta, Gozo, with options to visit the smaller islands
of this amazing archipelago. Our new partnership with Crosi Europe, Europe’s largest
river and barge cruise line, offers small, intimate cruising at amazingly affordable rates!
For the luxury travelers, Donna Franca is offering two exceptional upscale programs
not usually available to the general public. THE LADY IN RED—a new travel concept—a
mythical, legendary 4-day/3-night vacation including deluxe hotel accommodations for 3
nights at the Four Seasons in Milan, the Villa Aminta in Stresa, Villa D’Este in Cernobbio,
or 3 nights at the Four Seasons in Florence, the Fonteverde Resort in San Casciano dei
Bagni, and Hotel Villa La Massa in the Florentine countryside.

Umbria, better known as Italy’s “Green Heart,” is located in central Italy
and is characterized by rolling hills, fragrant olive groves, and many
natural wonders. While the region is perhaps best known for Perugia,
host to the Annual International Umbria Jazz Festival, Umbria offers a
wide array of diverse destinations. There are the breathtaking hill towns
of Gubbio, Orvieto, and Todi; the art center Spello with paintings by
Pinturicchio; the medieval villages of San Gemini, Foligno, Spoleto, and
of course, Assisi, the contemplative spiritual center of Italy’s beloved
Saint Francis. The Umbria Region is famous for magnificent wines, olive
oil, Italy’s best cured meats, and of course the unique white truffle.
