Discover Handpicked Italian Travel Experiences That Go Beyond the Ordinary
At Rural Escapes, we believe that the true essence of travel lies in authenticity and connection. That’s why every experience you find here is a thoughtfully curated combination of immersive activities and charming accommodations, handpicked to give you a genuine taste of Italy’s rural soul. From truffle hunting with local farmers to wine tastings at family-run vineyards, each package is more than just a holiday: it's a story waiting to be lived.
All of our experience packages in Italy are designed to bring you closer to the land, the people, and their traditions. No generic tours, no crowded routes, just unique moments in beautiful places, with people who care.
Think of them as expertly crafted starting points for your dream Italian escape. They are built from our handpicked collection of unique stays, authentic activities, or a combination of both. You can use them for inspiration for a full itinerary, or simply to discover a single, perfect activity to add to your trip.
Absolutely. Customization is at the heart of what we do. Whether you're inspired by a full itinerary, wish to book just a series of activities, or want to combine elements from different suggestions, we can tailor everything to your personal travel style, interests, and pace.
Our service is personal. When an experience or activity catches your eye, simply contact us. We'll discuss your interests and then coordinate with our trusted partners, whether they are property hosts, chefs, or guides, to build and book a custom proposal for you, ensuring a seamless process from start to finish.
Every element is personally vetted by our team. Our network consists of passionate hosts of boutique properties, family-run vineyard owners, private chefs, licensed local guides, and skilled artisans. We choose partners who offer not just a service, but a genuine connection to Italian culture.
Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees.
You gain access, expertise, and peace of mind. We offer access to a curated selection of properties and experiences you might not find otherwise. We save you countless hours of research and planning, and we handle all the logistics, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the magic of your trip.
Every property is hand-selected for its authenticity, quality, and connection to the land. We choose hosts who share our values of meaningful hospitality, sustainability, and genuine Italian living... so you can trust that your stay will be special.
