Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) outline the services provided by Uniquely Italy, LLC to you and your group.
Crafting Your Ideal Itinerary
Uniquely Italy, LLC specializes in creating personalized luxury travel experiences tailored to your specific desires and preferences. We collaborate with trusted partners who offer exclusive accommodations, including hotels, villas, and unique properties (collectively, the “Accommodation”), as well as premium transportation, activities, and other services (collectively, “Local Services”). Each itinerary is carefully curated to ensure the highest standards of service and privacy.
To honor the dedication that goes into creating your perfect Italian adventure, we may apply an Itinerary Design Fee of $250 USD per person. This fee not only secures our commitment to your dream voyage but also allows us to dive deep into the intricate planning process.
We believe in transparency and value, which is why for bookings over $10,000 USD, we'll happily credit the Itinerary Design Fee towards your final balance. It's our way of saying grazie for choosing Uniquely Italy for your unforgettable Italian escape.
Remember, this isn't just a trip we're planning – it's your story waiting to unfold in the heart of Italy.
Accommodation
We arrange Accommodation based on your selections. Each Accommodation provider may have specific terms and conditions that govern your reservation, which will take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.
Local Services and Experiences
Local Services are provided by independent partners (the “Partner”). These Terms and Conditions govern the Local Services provided by the Partner. If you request dining reservations, a dining consultation fee (the “Dining Consultation Fee”) may apply. Full details of this fee will be included in the proposal (the “Proposal”) sent to you. Please note:
-
Payment of the Dining Consultation Fee does not guarantee restaurant availability.
-
Additional fees may apply for last-minute requests or specific restaurants.
-
Restaurant booking order and dates may vary based on availability.
-
Some restaurants may require a credit card upon booking or direct online reservation.
-
If a restaurant is unavailable, a comparable option will be offered.
Booking and Itinerary Confirmation
Bookings can be initiated via phone, online inquiry, email, or through Instagram. Once we receive your request, we will gather all necessary information to create your itinerary. Before confirming the itinerary, we will send you an email containing: (i) a preliminary quote, (ii) these Terms and Conditions for your approval, and (iii) a link to the payment platform for the Confirmation Deposit. A contract between you and Uniquely Italy, LLC will be established upon your acceptance and payment of the deposit (“Confirmation”). Upon Confirmation, you will receive a final itinerary (the “Confirmation Email”).

Checking Your Documents
It is your responsibility to review the Proposal, itinerary, and all related documents upon receipt. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, contact us immediately.
Itinerary Acceptance
Once your itinerary is confirmed, we will secure all necessary arrangements and services to ensure a seamless travel experience. Availability and pricing may change, so we recommend confirming bookings promptly. Any changes made after the Confirmation Date may impact your experience and incur additional costs. Note that service prices may vary, and additional charges may apply if hotel names or flight details are provided post-payment.
Payments
Payment timing depends on when and what type of services are booked:
-
A deposit is required upon itinerary Confirmation (the "Confirmation Deposit"). The amount varies based on our partners' requirements and may range from 25% to full payment for certain Accommodations or Local Services. We will inform you of the specific deposit amount in your invoice.
-
The balance of your booking is due no less than 40 days before the Starting Date (the "Starting Date"), which is the date and time of the first service (e.g., airport pick-up). If the balance is not paid by the due date, your booking may be canceled, and the Confirmation Deposit retained. All rates are in USD unless otherwise specified, with multiple payment options available.
Changes to Your Itinerary
If you wish to make changes to your itinerary after Confirmation, notify us in writing as soon as possible. We will inform you if the changes are possible and any resulting price adjustments. If changes are not feasible or acceptable, you may cancel your booking. Any costs associated with changes will be borne by you.
General Cancellation Policy
You may cancel your confirmed itinerary at any time before the Starting Date by notifying us in writing. Cancellation fees apply as follows:
-
More than 40 days before the Starting Date: Cancellation fee equals the Confirmation Deposit.
-
40 days or less before the Starting Date: Cancellation fee equals 100% of the itinerary cost.
A 5% transaction charge applies to any refund.
Cancellation and Payment Policy for Experiences and Accommodations
To ensure the highest quality of service and availability, we require full payment 40 days before your arrival date. This policy allows us to confirm all reservations and experiences on your behalf.
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. This deposit is retained in the event of cancellations, changes to your itinerary, no-shows, or early departures.
For packages including accommodations or special events, specific cancellation and payment policies may apply, as dictated by our partners. Our team will clearly communicate any particular policies relevant to your booking.
In cases where no specific policy is indicated, our general cancellation policy will be in effect.
We strive to be transparent about all policies affecting your travel plans. If you have any questions or need clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated customer service team.

Non-Refundable Tickets
Certain services, such as ferry or train transfers, and event tickets (e.g., concerts, exhibitions), are non-refundable once purchased and may require rebooking.
