“The care and thoughtful planning followed by the travel treasures we experienced as individuals and as a group were unparalleled in my opinion. The places we visited, the people we met, and the activities we embarked on were as educational as they were fantastic. I was a female traveler on my own who experienced Puglia, Italy in a way that has left a lifelong, wonderous imprint. Brovo Karen and LBR team! You exceeded all of my expectations and left me wanting more and I’m already thinking about where I will join you in 2024.”

“We had such a great experience with Life Beyond the Room! Karen and Athena were both absolutely amazing! The communication was great throughout the process and the travel recommendations and activities were perfect for our family trip. We plan to use them again for future travel and highly recommend their services.”

“I had the most amazing experience with Life Beyond the Room and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a luxurious and stress-free travel experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly planned and executed. The meals were some of the best I’ve ever had and the five-star service was exceptional. We were treated like royalty throughout our entire trip and it made all the difference in our overall experience. I can confidently say that I will never travel without Life Beyond the Room again. If you want to feel pampered and have all the details taken care of, they are the travel company for you. Thank you, Life Beyond the Room, for an unforgettable experience!”

“Once again, Karen and the people at Life Beyond the Room exceeded my every expectation during our trip to Sicily. The accommodations, activities, and food were outstanding! It was obvious to everyone in our group that Our total comfort and satisfaction with all aspects of the trip were the only things that mattered to everyone at LBR. No detail was too big or too small.

I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed the trip, and I talk about it often to anyone who is thinking about travel. I can’t imagine booking a trip and not using Karen and the people at Life Beyond the Room.”

— Dennis, NH

“These people are real professionals.

They planned a memorable trip for my wife, friends, and me to Italy and Sicily. They are great and I would highly recommend them and can be a reference. I have been taking Italian lessons for 4 years and love it. Karen is a great teacher. I highly recommend her teaching and vacation planning services – she will not disappoint.”

— Chuck, OH

“This is not your standard travel agency. We have never been so pampered, all the little details were handled for us and we were able to relax, which is a feat in Italy during the high season. Everywhere Karen booked us was so special we wouldn’t want to leave; then the next place would be completely different and special and we wouldn’t want to leave again. We have traveled extensively over the past 50 years, my husband still travels the world for a living. We have had many wonderful experiences and great service so rating Karen and ‘Beyond the Room’, as #1 for a trip to Italy is exemplary!”

— Lin & Tom, SC

“Karen was recommended to me when I was beginning to plan a trip to Italy. I was delighted to discover that she has lived in Rome and has firsthand knowledge of the country. She was able to book us on a nonstop flight to Rome and she arranged a few days for us in Venice and a gelato workshop in Rome. Our Venice trip was magical with our own private tour guide who lives in Venice, a gondola ride (so fun!) and a private water taxi to take us to Morano (glass) and Burano (lace) islands. On Morano we had a private view of glass making and my grandsons even got a chance to blow glass! The gelato workshop was so fun and delicious! I highly encourage you to give Karen a call if you are planning to travel to Italy…or anywhere!”

“Amazing experience! Planned to the finest detail yet flexible enough to ad-lib adventures as they presented themselves. Guides were knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. LBR really puts the work into planning and getting the experiences so you can just enjoy yourself. Of course, I can’t say enough good things about the resort food, drinks, and staff. All amazing! Highly recommend. 15/10!”
