Who I am

Concept

Your local Mediterranean Travel Advisor

I’m Livia, your local travel expert and designer in Southern Italy.

Based in Palermo for almost 20 years, I design and coordinate tailor-made journeys across Sicily, Puglia and Sardinia, crafted with care, authenticity and a truly personal touch, in collaboration with a trusted local network.

From our first conversation to your return home, I’ll be your single point of contact, taking care of every detail and making sure everything flows effortlessly.

I believe in authentic tourism, real human connection, and the joy of slow travel, staying in boutique, luxury or characterful places, and embracing a kind of luxury that lies in genuine encounters, time to slow down, and stories that live within each place.

Choose to travel with someone who lives here and knows these lands by heart, bringing the care, precision, and passion that turn a trip into an authentic experience.

Travel Advisor

Livia Lombardi

Ciao! 🤗

I’m Livia, and I’m the heart behind Le Voyageur Méditerranéen.

I was born and raised in Florence, with Swiss and British roots that shaped my sense of precision and curiosity.
After university, I worked in London and Milan, where I learned the importance of clarity, professionalism and attention to detail.
In another life, I was a lawyer – maybe that’s why I still love structure and precision as much as creativity.

Then came Sicily – a twist of fate, and love for a Sicilian (!), brought me to Palermo, where I’ve now lived for almost 20 years, raising a family of five.
Living here changed everything: I found the perfect balance between Northern discipline and Southern soul.

I bring the precision and professionalism I learned abroad to the authentic, slow rhythm of Mediterranean life.

Through my collaboration with both tour operators, Tururi and Trinakria, I discovered a way to merge my international experience with the local knowledge I live every day.

Today, I lead Le Voyageur Méditerranéen with the same passion that brought me here – designing journeys for French- and English-speaking travelers who wish to experience Southern Italy through the eyes of someone who truly lives it.

Because for me, this isn’t just work – it’s life itself.
