La Collection has bolstered its Destination Management Company (DMC) arm, LC DMC, through a new partnership with Italian luxury concierge specialist, Privilege Italia.

The collaboration gives La Collection’s network of travel advisors direct access to a comprehensive suite of bespoke, tailor-made travel services throughout Italy, from the Amalfi Coast to the Dolomites. The expansion enhances the company’s ability to offer fully personalised journeys in some of Italy’s most iconic destinations.

Privilege Italia, co-founded by cousins Mario and Francesco Staiano, brings a heritage “steeped in Italian hospitality,” with a family history in travel spanning more than fifty years across three generations.

Craig Farrell, Co-Founder and Managing Director at La Collection, welcomed the company to the LC DMC family. “Their heritage, particularly their multi-generational expertise in high-end concierge services, perfectly complements our mission to offer truly authentic and exclusive travel opportunities,” he said.

“Mario and Francesco’s team specialises in transforming a visit into a profound connection with Italy, ensuring the highest level of detail for every exclusive transfer, private opening, and culinary journey.”

Meanwhile, the Staianos described their approach to luxury travel as irreverant. “New luxury breaks the rules – effortlessly stylish, never ordinary,” they said. “For us, it’s all about excellence, reimagined through intimate details, local soul, and authentic connections.”

Privilege Italia’s services include 24/7 private concierge support, exclusive accommodation options and VIP transfers by luxury car, private motorboat or helicopter.

Bespoke experiences form a key part of their offering, from private cooking classes and curated food and wine tours to luxury yacht charters along Italy’s stunning coastlines. Guests also enjoy “exclusive access” to historic sites, museums, and family-run institutions, alongside heritage travel services that enable connections with Italian ancestry.
