Where Passion for Europe Meets Expert Planning
For over a decade, La Dolce Via has transformed European travel dreams into reality. We’re not just planners—we’re your personal guides to living well, Italian style.
Born from a Love of Italy
La Dolce Via began with founder Rosanne Cofoid’s lifelong connection to Italy. Growing up in an Italian-American household, she developed authentic cultural knowledge that goes beyond typical tourism. After studying in Italy and returning dozens of times since, she built a business sharing the real Italy with discerning travelers.
We believe exceptional travel requires deep cultural knowledge, trusted local relationships, and understanding what makes each traveler unique. Whether celebrating an anniversary, reconnecting with heritage, or experiencing Europe at its finest, we craft journeys that resonate with who you are.
We don’t do cookie-cutter itineraries. Every client receives white-glove treatment—because when you travel with La Dolce Via, you’re family.

Rosanne Cofoid
Rosanne’s Italian heritage first sparked her lifelong passion for Europe and continues to shape the way she travels today. After studying art history in Rome and Florence during college, she developed a deep appreciation for the rich history, art, culture, and traditions that define the Mediterranean way of life. Today, that passion extends beyond Italy to include France, Spain, and Portugal, where she regularly travels to explore emerging destinations, experience exceptional hotels firsthand, cultivate relationships with trusted local partners, and uncover the authentic experiences that transform a vacation into a truly memorable journey. Rosanne believes the most memorable journeys begin long before you board your flight. They begin with understanding the history, culture, traditions, and stories that bring a destination to life. By experiencing each destination firsthand and returning several times each year, she ensures her recommendations are based not only on expertise and careful research, but on personal experience. Whether wandering through the villages of Provence, enjoying tapas in Andalusia, discovering Portugal’s Douro Valley, or embracing la dolce vita in Italy, Rosanne’s goal is always the same: to create thoughtfully curated journeys that inspire curiosity, foster meaningful connections, and leave travelers with a deeper appreciation for the places they visit.
