BRIDGING THE FIBRE-OPTIC DIVIDE

The rapid expansion of WeTravel, fueled by successive funding rounds and a burgeoning reputation in the travel tech sector, created a modern corporate paradox: a global team deeply united by mission but physically separated by thousands of miles of fibre-optic cable.
For many of the 240 team members arriving from Kenya, the United States, or the Middle East, the rugged Sicilian coast represented the first time they had seen a colleague outside of a rectangular digital frame. The mission was to transform these fleeting pixels into permanent human bonds.

A Slow Approach, On Purpose

The retreat didn't begin on the island. It began in Bergamo, where the group spent its first night easing into one another's company before the real arrival — a deliberate buffer between inboxes and Italy. From there, the journey curved north toward Lake Iseo and across the water to Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Southern Europe and one with no cars allowed on its single coastal road. The advance party — Quansight's own management team — had already arrived days earlier at Sensole, the small lakeside hamlet that would anchor the week, scouting the rhythm the rest of the group would soon fall into.

SANDSTONE SENTINELS AND SALINE BREEZES

The resort stood as a sandstone sentinel perched atop a limestone cliff, a rugged peninsula draped in pine forests and surrounded by the endless cerulean of the Mediterranean. It was a setting that felt powerful and romantic without falling into the trap of decadent excess; it was, as one observer noted, "mildly luxurious but not lavish". The air carried the scent of resin and sea salt, and the only path to the private beaches involved a winding descent down stairs carved directly into the rock face. Meals were served on forest terraces where the ground was replaced by soft sand and the ceiling was a canopy of ancient trees. In this environment, the frantic "hustle" of tech life was replaced by a deliberate slowness. Smartphone screens, usually the ubiquitous companions of the digital nomad, stayed in pockets, as the team surrendered to the sensory reality of the Sicilian sun and the rhythmic sound of the tide.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF AL FRESCO CREATIVITY

The blueprint for the week was designed to pull the team away from traditional enclosures. While the resort provided state-of-the-art workshop rooms, the true intellectual work happened in the wild. Breakout groups, workshops, and strategic discussions spilled out across the entire premises, appearing spontaneously by the pool, deep within the pine forest, and on the sun-drenched terraces of the cliffs. This "creative in nature" approach allowed the group to inhabit the surrounding landscape while dismantling the usual silos of a scale-up.Beyond the campus, the team journeyed to the enchanted town of Cefalù, where thousands of years of history from Norman cathedrals to ancient waterfronts provided a grounding counterpoint to their tech-forward future. One of the most evocative moments occurred not in a meeting room, but on a massive rock overlooking the ocean terraces. There, the CEO delivered a welcome address as the first "Welcome Aperitivo" began, the sea breeze carrying his words across the assembled group. The week was punctuated by rituals, most notably a sunset fire ceremony that served as a visceral symbol of the company’s enduring energy and shared purpose.

We hosted our AI Summit with Campfire - nearly 500 attendees - and from start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Ideas, execution, responsiveness, commitment, hands-on effort: everything was exactly how you'd hope it to be. It's such a relief to know you can rely 100% on a team that consistently finds solutions and makes the right calls in the moment.I've worked with a lot of agencies over the years, and Campfire genuinely stood out. The on-site team was warm, professional, and - what I appreciated most - proactive. They didn't just "run" the event; they lived it with us.

We recently used Campfire to host our company IRL in Berlin and honestly couldn't recommend them more highly.Leti and Mari were absolutely exceptional. From the first conversation to the final day of the event, nothing was ever too much hassle — they were organised, responsive, and genuinely went above and beyond at every turn. In all the events we've run as a company, we've never worked with organisers quite like them.The proof is in the results — this was our highest rated IRL yet. If you're looking for an events team who will make you feel like you're their only client, look no further. We'll be back.

Campfire has been worth their weight in gold. I am so grateful for everything they have done for our company retreat. From the first contact, to saying bye at the end of the stay, I know they have been there for us. They’ve been a constant, calm, companion in what could be a stressful and complicated few days.

Campfire organized an outstanding retreat for our company in Sicily, accommodating around 200 participants. Everything was top-notch, from the shuttles to and from the airports to the food, accommodation, workspaces, and even social areas. Letizia and her team were incredibly responsive and practical whenever we had new requests or needed changes throughout the week. This was our second experience working with Campfire, and we hope it won't be our last.

Just came back from a team retreat in Sicily and what can I say, Letizia and Francesca were amazing organisers! Wish it lasted longer and looking forward to many more!

We partnered with Campfire for our company's annual retreat. As a UK-based company, this was the first time the company went abroad for it and finding a partner that could help us sort out all of the details, spoke the local language and plan a truly memorable event was vital to its success. Over several months we worked closely with Letizia and the Campfire team to brainstorm and plan every last detail for the retreat in Italy. They were well organised, great at communication and always reachable when we had any questions. They ensured our team of over 30 were well taken care of at the venue and made sure that every request was handled in a timely manner. They helped us pull off the event beautifully and we definitely recommend them for corporate retreat planning!

Great working with these guys. Letizia and Flo have helped us plan two successful retreats now, always a pleasure. Great attention to detail, brilliant venues and locations. Love the outdoor/nature themed ethos of the company, these folks get it!

All activities during the week where very well planned, our guide was very nice and attentive. She took care of all the things that came along and made our company trip an excellent experience for all of us!

Francesca and Mariona made our company trip to Spain truly exceptional. From the beginning, they were always there to ensure everything ran smoothly and our needs were met – no matter how big or small. Their attention to detail, quick response and friendly approach made the planning process enjoyable. Thanks to their incredible support, the event was a huge success. We couldn’t have asked for better partners and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a team event!

We used Campfire for the first time this year, and our annual company offsite turned out to be the best one yet. I had the pleasure of working with Letizia and Francesca, who were both incredibly understanding and accommodating. They took the time to listen to our needs and offered thoughtful suggestions for activities, which ended up being the highlights of the trip. Thank you both again for making it such a great experience!

Leider gibt es nur 5 Sterne zu vergeben. Gern hätte ich mehr vergeben für die großartige Organisation, Flexibilität und hervorragende Zusammenarbeit mit Marica. Sie hat uns bereits zum 2. Mal betreut und unser Teamevent zu einem unvergesslichen Ereignis gemacht. Ich kann Campfire uneingeschränkt empfehlen, wenn es um die Organisation und Durchführung von Teamevents geht.

Great organized trip to Portugal. Every small issue was addressed as best as possible. Additionally, our local guide was just amazing, dealt with everything and was still able to find a few minutes for everyone to learn some more things about our location and Portugal in general.

Huge thanks to Campfire for organizing such a wonderful retreat! Everything was so well thought out, and we truly appreciated the experience. Looking forward to the next one!

The most meaningful part was seeing the clients... and realizing that they recognized me and were happy to see me. In that moment, I truly understood the essence of what we do creating long-lasting human connections between people that are normally not together.
