Property Host

The Group: Crossing is a high-end Italian hospitality group with 3 properties and a family sailing product. i The group started with a boutique art and design hotel in the city center of Rome called Crossing Condotti before expanding into Sicily with a luxury villa called Crossing the Rock (for which we work exclusively with a London travel agency - TheThinkingTraveller) and an all-inclusive sailing holiday for groups and families called Crossing the Sea with itineraries in the Greek Sporades Islands and the Sicilian Aeolian Islands.
