A soul sister

August 30, 2023

I reached out to Roberta as I was travelling solo and loved her blog. Roberta is the most beautiful, fun loving soul. As soon as we met it was like we had known each other a lifetime. She has this infectious, calming energy and she is so passionate. She went out of her way to give me the most beautiful experience, a real authentic way to experience Salerno. Meeting Roberta is one of the highlights of my trip. I will treasure these memories forever. I know we will meet again.

Una vacanza indimenticabile grazie a Roberta!

August 29, 2023

Oltre ad essere una ragazza estremamente gentile e sempre disponibile, Roberta mi ha aiutata ad organizzare la settimana perfetta in Costiera Amalfitana! Di cosa avete bisogno? cibo, panorami mozzafiato, esperienze uniche? Lei vi consiglierà questo e molto altro ( non le solite attrazioni turistiche, ma tutto estremamente locale). L’ho contatta per il noleggio di una barca e mi ha subito messo in contatto con Michele, anche lui persona meravigliosa, e grazie a loro io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo avuto l’opportunità di vedere la Costiera dal mare facendo il bagno in punti dove solo con via mare si può arrivare. Oltre ad aiuti specifici per le vostre esigenze, Roberta è sempre disponibile a consigliarvi moltissime altre esperienze per rendere unico il vostro viaggio. Una sola parola: GRAZIE!

Roberta - a sweet kind soul!!

June 21, 2023

I came across Roberta’s blog, Travel Scratchpad, as I was looking for information on Salerno and the Amalfi coast…and man, did I get lucky!!! I reached out to her on Whatsapp to run my travel itinerary by her and she was kind enough to go through all of it and provide some very helpful suggestions. Once my partner and I arrived in Salerno, Roberta provided me with a super useful walking guide that helped us find our bearings all through our stay, as well as explore all that the city has to offer. Her food recommendations were absolutely on point and thanks to her I had the best food of my entire time in Italy…after trying out one of her recommended places on day 1, I refused to eat anywhere not on her list and I wasn’t disappointed even once! Roberta even offered plenty of other interesting suggestions on things to do around Salerno.

Salerno simply stole our heart as it is not at all touristy, (unlike the rest of the Amalfi coast!) and we were able to get a glimpse into life in a regular Italian town….in fact we actually cancelled many of the things I had planned and instead chose to relax in Salerno and enjoy it to the fullest. But none of this would have been as perfect if it weren’t for Roberta being so open and generous with information. As she checked on us every single day of our stay, I was so touched by what a kind and genuine person Roberta is, and I really hope I can return the favour someday!

If you’re planning a trip to that corner of the world, do reach out to Roberta and follow her on Instagram…you won’t regret it!!

I just got lucky by reading her blog about the amalfi travels and I contacted her on whatsapp. There was nothing close to perfection when it came to the travel itinerary that Roberta aka travel scratchpad made for me. Salreno , Positano and Amalfi it was all great due to you! She prepared a lovely itinerary and my trip went superb! Anyone planning to travel this Italian coast – Roberta is the best!

AMAZING HOLIDAY THANKS ROBERTA

October 29, 2022

Found Roberta’s amazing travel blog here and reached out to her to help arrange some experiences we were looking to do during our time in the Amalfi Coast. Roberta was so helpful and friendly and went out of her way to find the right people and experiences for us, was always checking in to see how it was going, she’s a big part of the reason we had such a fantastic time. She knows all of the area so well so she’ll be able to help you out no doubt. Thank you so much Roberta!!
