About

The Alta Vita is not about destinations.

It is about the way we move through the world—slowly, intentionally, and with curiosity.

Because true luxury is time, presence, and perspective.

We seek places that inspire reflection, encounters that expand perspective, and moments that transform the ordinary into something meaningful.

Portrait of Marta De Donno, founder of The Alta Vita
Driven by passion

Italian by birth, citizen of the world by choice.

With over 20 years of experience as a marketing leader serving creative professionals and content creators, I chose to blend my expertise in storytelling with my personal passions for travel, well-being, arts, lifestyle, and cuisine—sharing insights and fostering an international community that seeks the ALTA VITA in every meaningful moment.

Italian by birth, citizen of the world by choice.

I grew up between Italy and USA, have been living in Paris since 2002 but always with a luggage at hand.

Trilingual, curious explorer, avid reader and traveler, I like to see trends before they happen.

Human connections are a driving force so as the community grows, curated events, travel escapes, and bespoke retreats will follow.

The sky is the limit to live the ALTA VITA way.
