...it has been a pleasure to meeting you at Essence of Sardinia – Sarda Banda – Serandipians

Gianni Buonsante

Founder and CEO, Ingenia Direct

At Essence of Sardinia – Sarda Banda, Ingenia Direct represented two distinctive properties: SEXTANTIO Le Grotte della Civita, with its carefully restored cave accommodation in Matera’s Sassi, and DIMORA DASCANIO Masseria in Ostuni, Vincenzo Dascanio’s deeply personal, design-led expression of Apulian hospitality, scheduled to open in March 2027.

Different in character, they share a common thread: heartfelt hospitality, a genuine connection to place and a strong individual identity. In each, the experience grows naturally from the setting, its heritage and the people behind it, rather than an imposed narrative, luxury rooted in authenticity and experiences beyond conventional itineraries.

PROFILE & PHILOSOPHY

Founded in Southern Italy in 2000, Ingenia Direct is a strategic consultancy dedicated to luxury hospitality, combining Italian sensibility with an international perspective.

Rather than acting solely as a sales representative, we become a long-term strategic partner for carefully selected hotels, resorts and hospitality brands. Our expertise combines commercial representation, strategic marketing, digital communication, AI-driven innovation, branding and international relationship development. We believe that successful luxury hospitality is built on authenticity, meaningful relationships and long-term value creation. Technology supports this vision but never replaces the human touch.

Every project is developed with the objective of increasing brand awareness, strengthening market positioning and generating sustainable business opportunities. Ingenia Direct primarily represents luxury hospitality brands within Italy, supporting their positioning towards international leisure markets. We work with luxury hotels, boutique properties, resorts, historic residences and destination hospitality projects.
