It boasts a team of 4 professional travel consultants who each specialize in planning perfectly curated trips for their clients based on their first-hand travel experiences, their long-standing relationships with preferred suppliers around the world, and continuing dialogue with leading experts in the travel industry.
A graduate of the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University (1990), and the University of Pittsburgh School of Law (1994), Diane was a divorce attorney and television writer before ultimately finding her true passion in the world of travel.
Her enthusiasm for design, art, food, fashion, and architecture, allows her to see and evaluate properties and destinations in a unique way, and her greatest joy is matching her clients with their perfect destinations and experiences. The personal attention she gives to her clients and the personal relationships she’s nurtured with suppliers all over the world have allowed her to attract the most discerning of clients — celebrities, CEOs, and well-known creators of content for TV and film.

Insider Tip
Meet the owners/families if you can! Since all Querido properties are family-owned, always try to seek out someone from the family to learn more intimate details about the property and its history. You will not be disappointed!
Next Dream Trip?
São Lourenço do Barrocal – the farmhouse chic vibe and its off the beaten path location in the authentic, Portugese countryside has always appealed to me.
Cannot travel without...
