Jessica Alba has traveled to many exotic destinations around the world, but there is one place that stands out to her above all others: Italy. The actress has been drawn to the country’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality for years, and she often finds herself wishing she could visit there more often. However, it’s not just the beauty of Italy that has captured Alba’s heart; it’s also the special connection she’s made with a family of luxury tour operators who have become like family to her. The Amoricos are the founders of Access Italy, a company that offers exclusive and personalized tours of Italy to its clients. According to Alba, she was introduced to Access Italy through a friend who had used their services and was completely obsessed with them. She quickly saw why her friend loved the company, and she’s been a loyal client ever since. But what makes Access Italy truly special is the level of service they provide. As Alba notes, “From the moment you start planning with them, you feel like you’re getting this secret, insider access to Italy that you would never find on your own.” The company’s team is known for being highly personalized and attentive, taking the time to tailor each itinerary to the individual needs and preferences of its clients. But what really sets Access Italy apart is the sense of community and connection that they foster. As Alba says, “Everywhere you go, people welcome you with open arms—it’s like one big warm hug.” This is particularly evident in the company’s approach to family travel, which prioritizes fun and engagement for kids of all ages. For Alba, a busy mom of three, Access Italy has been a game-changer when it comes to family vacations. “There are actually so many fun and engaging activities for kids in Rome,” she notes. “Things like gelato-making, pizza-making, and pasta-making classes are always a hit—they’re interactive and so much fun. There are also incredible museums, unique toy stores, and parks for running around.”
The Amoricos have also taken Alba and her family on some of the most unforgettable vacations of their lives. From the stunning landscapes of Tuscany to the vibrant culture of Sicily, each region has its own unique character and charm. As Alba says, “It was so special to experience different regions—each with its own vibe, history, and culture. It felt like we were discovering different sides of Italy, which kept it so dynamic and exciting.”
But it’s not just the experiences themselves that Alba loves about Access Italy; it’s also the way they approach local etiquette and culture. “Smile, be warm, give hugs, and just lead with a good heart; it really makes all the difference,” she says. “The Amoricos have this incredible way of creating genuine connections everywhere they go, and that energy is contagious—when you travel with them, you feel like part of their extended family.”
For Alba, this means being welcomed into the Amoricos’ home and their favorite local restaurants, like Taverna Trilussa in the Trastevere neighborhood. “Their cacio e pepe is next level!” she exclaims. “I also can’t resist the truffle burrata focaccia—it’s out of this world.”
When she’s not traveling with Access Italy, Alba loves to explore other destinations around the world. From the beaches of Hawaii to the ancient ruins of Japan, she’s always on the lookout for her next adventure. Destination Highlights:
