Your personal travel advisor in Italy

Discover Italy the way you’ve always wanted to

From wine regions to countryside living, wellness escapes to slow family travel, each itinerary is personally curated for you
- and that's the true luxury

Italy invites curiosity, but planning it well takes time, perspective, and local understanding.

With Rural Escapes, you don't need to navigate endless options alone. You'll work with a travel advisor who listens, filters, and crafts a journey that truly reflects your travel style.

Rural Escapes opens the doors to the most authentic side of Italy

Born, raised, and based between Milan and Rome, we're here to bring your Italian dream to life through carefully selected places, treasures, and local gems.

We work with carefully selected retreats, villas, and boutique partners to create experiences that feel authentic and effortless. Every journey is planned personally for you with insider access and VIP perks through our trusted network.

 

From your first "ciao" and throughout your whole time in Italy, we’re here to ensure your trip is seamless, comfortable, and most importantly, memorable.

 

It’s less about booking faster and more about travelling better.

Take your time, explore,
and enjoy

The concierge service looks after the experience as a whole, not only where you sleep.
