A slower way to travel through Italy,
thoughtfully planned.
Discover agriturismi, wellness retreats, and hidden places that matter.
We design itineraries that let Italy reveal itself slowly.
Italy rewards those
who travel
with intention.
Italy’s slow-travel landscape is rich, but overwhelming.
With over 26,000 agriturismi, thoughtful selection matters.
We design slow itineraries rooted in local knowledge, thoughtful pacing, and careful selection.
We help you choose the right ones and build a journey around them.Depending on your interests, we integrate experiences such as cooking classes, wine tastings, spa days, and visits to historic or artistic sites, always with a pace that feels natural.
You avoid the noise, the guesswork, and the places that feel overdone.
Best suited to travelers who want guidance, not group tours.
