Rita
I am the author and creator of the DonnaAmore concept. I am a cheerful, creative individual with a plethora of talents and hobbies that bring vibrancy and colour to my daily life. I find immense joy in creating and inspiring others.
As an aesthete, I perceive the world through a visual lens, drawing inspiration from the beauty that surrounds me. My life experiences, thoughts, and emotions have shaped my journey, leading me to this point where I stand as a 51-year-old woman, brimming with happiness and contentment. I am a proud mother of two adult children, a loving wife, a devoted daughter, and a cherished girlfriend. I embody the essence of a woman and a dreamer, constantly creating opportunities to believe in myself and the possibility of turning dreams into reality. I find myself deeply inspired by beautiful places and things, with Italy holding a special place in my heart.
​
When I'm not working, I cherish spending time with my family and exploring new destinations through travel. I embrace an active lifestyle, finding solace in sports, dance, and music, which serve as my personal forms of meditation. I am passionate about cooking and delight in hosting guests at beautifully arranged tables adorned with floral décor. Baking cakes and crafting delectable desserts bring me immense joy, fuelling my creative spirit.
I find tranquillity in spending hours in serene settings, savouring each moment with a cup of coffee and a delectable cupcake.
Over the years, I have amassed a wealth of experience in the realms of self-growth, beauty, well-being, and style. At DonnaAmore, you will have the opportunity to indulge in my relaxing SPA massages, designed to soothe your body and mind.
In my philosophy, the beauty of every woman lies in the pleasure and excitement with which we embrace and experience life, shaping our own realities, and nurturing self-love and compassion for those around us. It is about staying true to our desires and needs, fearlessly pursuing our dreams, and expressing gratitude for all that has been, is, and will be.
​

​
I look forward to welcoming you to our DonnaAmore elegant getaway in Tuscany, Italy!
Agnese
From 2011, when Italy completely seduced me and hijacked my heart, I can safely join Giuseppe Verdi in saying: " I can give you the universe, as long as you leave Italy for me. I adore art... When I'm alone with my notes, my heart beats and tears flow from my eyes and my emotions and joy are too much to endure. "
​
I had the opportunity to live in Italy, learn the language, and work for 2 years. During these years, having traveled through more than 70 different cities, and islands, including Capri, Sardinia, and Sicily, I felt this country was my second home.
​
Also, my first SOULSTONES BY AGNESE ZELTINA jewellery collection, which saw the light of day in 2013, bears the Italian name - LA MIA SICILIA - MY SICILIA and everything I created in the next 10 years has to do with Italy.
​
I am fascinated by Italian history, art, culture, and excellent style of dress, which I will not find an analog anywhere in the world. Their culture of eating and drinking coffee, and most importantly - family values.
My tremendous experience as an actress, both on the theatre stage and in cinema, as well as in life.
​
During the week I will allow you to listen to my Italian stories, learn beautiful Italian phrases, and share your understanding of Italy. In turn, I believe that in the communion and support of women, there is a tremendous power that can heal even the most closed heart. I will help you see yourself in a new light by encouraging you to tell the world your special story - a woman/love story.
​
I will share my values, stories of experience, and accumulated knowledge to allow you to look at yourself from a new perspective in a safe and supportive environment.
​
I sincerely believe that this week will be filled with love, beauty, and new friendships.
