Welcome to the Climate Friendly Travel Podcast! Where each episode, we speak to the great and the good of the global travel and tourism industry to learn more about what they are doing to ensure that the principles of climate friendly travel are being advanced.

I’m Ged Brown, your host for this week’s episode and today I’m delighted to be joined by Nikki Mattei who owns and runs a private eco escape in central Italy.

Nikki has been a supporter of a more natural and sustainable approach to life for over 20 years.  For the past 10 years, she has run her own ethical marketing consultancy and worked with campaigning organisations such as Fashion Revolution and Breast Cancer UK. At the end of 2021 she set up as a sustainability strategist to increase her impact by working with businesses who want to become more purpose driven and be part of saving the planet.

She is delighted to be part of the growing green tourism movement and has become an advocate for sustainable tourism, often taking part in webinars and podcasts. In this episode I speak to Nikki about her personal sustainability journey and we get under the skin of the sustainable practices in place at her property, Villa In The Vineyard.

And if you’d like to learn more about Nikki’s work and indeed see the fabulous Villa In the Vineyard for yourself, then please do visit villa-in-the-vineyard.com.
