At Albatross Travel, we pride ourselves on the knowledge and experience of our Contract Managers and their understanding of coach group travel. It’s true to say that they live and breathe their areas and have a real passion for creating innovative and varied products. Introducing Paul Stratton, Contract Manager & Italy Specialist Paul says…
“I have worked for Albatross and associated companies since 1998, and previous roles have included being General Manager for Italy for mainstream tour operators, so it’s fair to say I have a certain amount of experience! I’m lucky enough to divide my time between Wiltshire and Lake Garda, and I like nothing better than building long term supplier relations, creating new and exciting experiences and seeing them translate into toured holidays. My itineraries have been specially designed to show you why Italy carries the nickname ‘il bel paese’, or the ‘beautiful country’. It’s evident in the diverse landscapes, from the gorgeous lakes and Alps in the north to the stunning beaches and volcanic craters in the south.
The local people you’ll meet are full of passion and are devoted to living life well. They love the finer things – majestic art, the best espresso, the most stylish cars, and impeccable architecture – which isn’t surprising, considering Italy’s past as the centre of the Roman Empire, and the birthplace of the Renaissance. ” Paul recommends… “I’d love to share with you and your clients some of my personal favourite restaurants and wineries in Italy, such as the authentic Trattoria Arturo behind Lake Garda (the best hand-made pasta and grilled chicken!) and the elegant wine estate of Cantina Redaelli de Zinis , where you can taste some of the area’s finest tipples such as Chiaretto and Groppello. New for 2024 is an amazing combination of classic Tuscan touring with a scenic coastal stay on the spectacular Sorrento coast. Whether you’re looking for a northern Italy tour or a southern Italy tour, we have a myriad of itineraries that can take you through the many beautiful parts of this fascinating country so you can live, breathe and eat all of these wonderful destinations!”
