L4travel was born with a family’s love and desire to travel the world and experience new places and the passion to share the places we love. Our purpose is to make your vacation an unforgettable experience.
Owned and operated by Basta5 LLC, a family-owned business, at L4travel we want to make sure you will love your vacation; therefore, as part of our mission, we aim to take you only to places we’ve already been to and can say with confidence you will enjoy.
Gianni Basta was born in a winemaker family in Martina Franca, in Puglia, Italy. He remembers his first vendemmia at 4 years old and how he learned from a very young age the secrets to gardening fig trees and vineyards in the rocky ground in Puglia. Every vendemmia finalized with a party of food, wine, and celebration for the good year of harvest. Gianni’s appreciation for authentic things, homemade food, and detail comes from his background.
Jonathan Basta was born in Naples, Italy. He is Gianni and Fanny’s youngest son. As the only Neapolitan in the family, he grew up seeing Mount Vesuvius from his balcony and playing in the nearby villa, which happened to be a Greek site from the 2th B.C.!
He remembers visiting places like Corinth, Paestum, Capri, and, of course, nearby Pompeii as a young child. As they visited, he remembers listening to the stories from ancient times from his mother, who loves archeology, the history of the church, and traveling. Also, every visit included getting to know locals, trying to learn their languages, and learning about their traditions. That love for tradition and respect for local culture is a significant part of L4travel today.
Because of that, we create carefully crafted tours at very competitive prices. As one of our travelers said: ”I have come to Italy many times, but this trip is very different! 70% of what we have seen in this tour is never seen in any other tour!”
Also, our values help us to create communities on each one of our trips. You come as a tourist but leave as part of our family. You’ll forge meaningful connections and create unique memories through these shared adventures. You will make friends that will keep you connected for life!
Our services go beyond just organizing trips. We can assist you in visiting Italy or planning your wedding there. With our vast network and expertise, we have the resources to make it all possible for you. Our team is committed to assisting at every stage of your journey – from the initial planning process to ongoing support during and after your trip.
We look forward to welcoming you!
