The Best Boutique Retreats & Villa Rentals in Italy's Countryside
At Rural Escapes, we don’t just list accommodations; we build a collection of Italy's most unique countryside stays. It's a journey we take personally. We travel across Italy's regions to personally visit and hand-select every single property, ensuring it meets our vision of elegance, simplicity, and soul.
We connect with the hosts, walk the grounds, and feel the history of the place. We're looking for that intangible quality that makes a stay truly special: the genuine warmth of a family-run agriturismo, the integrity of restored architecture, or the breathtaking landscape that invites you to slow down.
This is our promise to you: an escape that connects you with the real essence of Italian culture, far from the crowds. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic getaway in a boutique farmhouse, a pet-friendly country stay, or a memorable family holiday, each escape is a chance to reconnect with the land, with tradition, and with a slower rhythm of life.
