Sarah & James Matthews
Italy · 14 Nights (May 2027 (Spring)) · Target: $18,000 AUD–$22,000 AUD
Sarah and James want around two weeks in Italy next May.
I found existing clients Sarah and James Matthews in the Harbour & Co CRM.
Their previous European travel indicates they generally prefer five-star boutique accommodation, premium economy for long-haul flights, private transfers, and a relaxed travel pace. Their typical accommodation spend is between $500 to $700 per night.
Would you like me to use that as the starting point for Italy?
Use their usual style
I've assembled three high-level concepts for Sarah and James Matthews (14 nights, May 2027).
I'd lean toward Option 2: Slow Luxury Italy. It reduces hotel relocations to 3 bases and gives them more time in the Tuscan countryside with boutique historic properties, directly matching their learned travel behavior.
