Your Maine Concierge: No One Knows Maine Like Food and Travel Expert Vanessa Santarelli

Vanessa Santarelli is passionate about Maine. A graduate of Cony High School in Augusta, Vanessa credits her Italian grandparents for instilling in her an abiding love of food via their restaurant, which was located on Water Street in that same town for many years. Vanessa’s clients benefit from her lifelong connection to the state through her Rockland-based business, “Your Maine Concierge.” In addition to being familiar with Maine’s coastal towns, Vanessa has spent much time exploring the rural interior of the state, and puts her knowledge to good use when planning accommodations, eatery visits and outings for others. Like her grandparents before her, Vanessa admits that being a small business owner is not always easy, but her fierce resilience leaves no doubt that she will continue the family legacy of hospitality for many years to come.
