A native Venetian, Pat has been Kirker's resident expert of the hidden gems of Venice for many years and can offer a useful insight into the non-tourist side of Italy.

Being a mother of three children means she has an understanding of the needs of family holidays and can put together itineraries and suggest hotels, which will make a holiday with the whole family both enjoyable and relaxing.
In addition to Venice she has also lived in Lake Como, Venice, Milan and Rome, and has travelled the length and breadth of her home country, visiting Kirker hotels in from the Cinque Terre and the Italian Lakes to Sicily and the Amalfi Coast.
