In the bustling world of travel and photography, two passionate souls crossed paths, and a unique collaboration was born. Csilla Dali, the visionary owner of Evyssa Vacations, and Elle Forte, the maestro behind Elle Forte Photography, first met in a networking group. As conversations flowed and ideas sparked, it became evident that their individual expertise could weave a tapestry of unparalleled experiences for travelers.
Their shared passion for curating unique experiences and capturing timeless moments led them to the drawing board. The idea? A curated small group vacation that would blend the allure of travel with the art of photography. And the destination? Italy - a country that has captured the hearts of many. But not just any part of Italy. They chose Puglia, a hidden gem, offering the charm of Italy's well-known landscapes with the added allure of its lesser-explored treasures.
The duo envisioned a journey that was more than just sightseeing. They dreamt of an authentic immersion into the heart of Puglia. This led to the selection of the Masseria, a traditional Puglian farmhouse, as the accommodation of choice. Staying in a Masseria is not just about luxury; it's about experiencing the soul of Puglia, its history, and its traditions.
But this journey is also a celebration - a celebration of womanhood, of inner strength, and of the goddess that resides within every woman. As travelers explore the scenic landscapes of Puglia, they will also embark on a journey of self-discovery, celebrating their essence and capturing their radiant spirits.
With Csilla's impeccable travel planning skills and vast contacts, every detail of the trip is meticulously crafted. From wine tasting in an authentic Masseria to a hands-on Italian cooking class with a private chef, travelers will experience the best of Puglia. And through Elle's lens, every moment, every emotion, and every memory will be immortalized, creating a keepsake that will be cherished for a lifetime.
Join us on this unforgettable journey to Puglia, where travel meets art, and memories are crafted not just in our minds but also in the frames captured by Elle. Experience the magic, the beauty, and the soul of Puglia with Evyssa Vacations and Elle Forte Photography.
