Destination Western Europe, the winner is Italy!

Positano, Amalfi Coast, Campania, Italy

I’m Ligia, the heart and soul behind Lutetia Travel, a boutique travel agency based in Reston, Virginia.

Since 2001, I’ve specialized in custom European vacations, creating thoughtfully tailored itineraries for families, couples, and groups seeking unforgettable, enriching experiences abroad.Life has taken me around the world: I was born in beautiful Romania, lived and studied in Paris for 12 years, and have made a home on both coasts of the United States. Along the way, I’ve explored much of Europe—especially France, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Portugal—as well as many of the Caribbean’s most enchanting islands.

I speak English, French, and Romanian fluently, and my multicultural background allows me to connect deeply with clients and cultures alike.

Lutetia—the ancient name for Paris—is a tribute to the city that inspired me to pursue a life in travel. Just like the City of Light, we believe travel should illuminate, delight, and enrich.
