Transparency matters to us. This page explains how Italy After 40 (https://italyafter40.com) makes money, so you always know where we stand.
The Short Version
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one, then make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not.
We only recommend places we have genuinely visited, along with products or services we would use ourselves. Earning a commission never changes our honest opinion: when something was just okay, we say so.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
Italy After 40 currently participates in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
- Awin (including ZenHotels, plus other travel merchants).
- Viator, a Tripadvisor company (tours, plus experiences).
- Commission Junction (CJ), including World Nomads travel insurance.
A note on World Nomads: We receive a fee when you obtain a quote from World Nomads using links on this site. We do not represent World Nomads. Links to World Nomads are not a recommendation to buy travel insurance; whether insurance is right for you depends on your personal circumstances.
What This Means in Practice
- Hotel, tour, plus product links in our articles may be affiliate links.
- Clicking an affiliate link may place a cookie on your device so the merchant can attribute your booking to this site (see our Privacy Policy for details).
- Commissions help cover the costs of running this site — hosting, tools, plus the many espressos consumed while writing — keeping the content free for you to read.
Our Editorial Promise
Every review, plus every recommendation on this site, is based on real, self-funded travel unless explicitly stated otherwise. We do not accept payment for positive reviews. If we ever publish a sponsored post or receive a complimentary product or stay, that article will say so clearly at the top.
