We’re the Staysmiths of Italy — crafting authentic, slow travel experiences that connect you to place and people.

Most trips begin and end in Rome, but very few experience Latium.

Beyond the capital, the region opens into layered landscapes, quiet hill towns, coastlines, an thermal springs that feel world away from what you’re used to. This is where your travels go from being a “trip” to a “journey”.

Our boutique hotel edit, for a different way of experiencing the region:

📍Palazzo Fiuggi
A refined wellness retreat where historic grandeur meets one of Italy’s most renowned spa traditions.

📍La Posta Vecchia Hotel
A coastal residence layered with history, where Roman ruins sit beneath your feet and the sea is just beyond the gardens.

📍Corte della Maestà
An intimate and soulful stay within Civita di Bagnoreggio’s ancient walls, where each room feels like a quit peace of art suspended in time.

📍Vigna Caio Relais & Spa
A peaceful retreat immersed in vineyards and calm countryside rhythms.

📍Terme di Vulci Glamping & Spa
A more elemental escape, where you can soak in natural hot springs surrounded by raw, untamed nature.

Save this for your next journey through Italy, and if you’d like to experience Latium beyond the obvious, we’d be delighted to curate and book something truly personal for you.

Summer in Calabria feels best when it’s carefully curated and naturally spontaneous.

A few days along the coast for the sea-clear, warm, and still relatively quiet compared to the more obvious Italian hotspots, then time inland, moving slowly through small towns where life is still very local.

I like to plan it around simple rhythms: swim in the morning, drive out to a hill town for lunch, wander without a fixed agenda in the afternoon, and end the day with Calabrian food that always has a bit of peperoncino heat in it.

Travelling from Rome to Florence? There's a good chance you’re missing the best part.

Most people jump on the fast train and never realize how much beauty sits between these two cities. You are crossing Latium, Umbria, and Tuscany - three regions with their own landscapes, villages, food traditions, and that gentle, authentic Italy you only find when you slow down.

Our 10‑day Rome to Florence itinerary is for travellers who want the classics but also the quieter corners most people overlook. It’s the kind of journey where the “in between” becomes the highlight, where a simple detour turns into the memory you talk about for years.

Read the full journey… and yes, it’s absolutely worth the detour: https://www.ruralescapes.it/post/rome-to-florence-itinerary-10-days

Planning a trip to the Italian countryside sounds simple… until you actually start.

There are so many beautiful places, but not all of them live up to what you see online. And the ones that truly do? They’re often the hardest to find, or even harder to book properly.

That’s usually where people get stuck. It's not just about where to stay, but where it actually makes sense to go based on when you’re travelling, what kind of pace you want, and the kind of experience you’re looking for.

Over time, we’ve built a portfolio of countryside stays we really trust, and relationships that allow us to offer a bit more than what you’d typically find on your own: better rates, added perks, and small details that make the stay feel smoother and more considered.

It could be a masseria in Puglia, a vineyard farmstay in Piedmont, or a quieter corner on the Amalfi Coast you probably wouldn’t come across while searching.

If you’re thinking about Italy and want it to feel easy, well put together, and actually worth it, send us a message or reach out through our website.

Don’t settle for anything less than what you’re looking for.

As a travel atelier, our focus is on you. We meet and start the conversation about your travel style, the mood you’re looking for, when you wish to travel, and the experience you’re after. After a short time, receive your tailored journey options and confirm your escape.

You’ll soon be packing your bags for an unforgettable Italian journey. Ready to start designing your trip or wish to brainstorm ideas for your next Italian escape?

First things first… when in Italy 🇮🇹

Dive into crystal-clear waters from a rocky cliff, twirl spaghetti al pomodoro topped with fresh parmigiano, toast with a bottle of Prosecco by the sea, or ride through the Italian streets on a Vespa?

Honestly… how do you even choose?

When you visit Italy with Rural Escapes, this is the kind of day you can have.

A relaxed wine tasting in Valdobbiadene, right in the heart of the Prosecco hills, meeting the producers, walking the vineyards, and tasting exceptional wines right where they’re made.

Then a beautifully set picnic among the vines: artisanal cheeses, local salumi, fresh bread, and a perfectly chilled bottle opened just for you. Unhurried, intimate, and thoughtfully curated from start to finish.

A premium experience, an authentic place, and the best of the Veneto countryside is waiting for you.

This is why everyone loves Positano

It’s not just the view, though the view is unforgettable. It’s the pastel houses stacked above the sea, the blooming pink flowers spilling over fences and balconies. Panoramic terrazzas overlooking the sea.

It’s the atmosphere.

When you sit down at a restaurant and order the simplest thing in the menu (and it’s not a pizza): spaghetti al pomodoro con basilico fresco. It tastes so good!

Maybe it’s the air, the sea, the people, the wine… or a mix of everything that has you hypnotised.

If you’ve been dreaming of travelling to Positano or already planned a trip, don’t just visit the usual crowded spots or stop for quick photos.

Let Rural Escapes help you do it properly.
Experience Positano beyond the obvious and plan it with real local insight, not just the highlights everyone is queuing for. Don’t settle for just a trip to Positano, shape it around you from the beginning so it feels genuinely yours 💚

Ravello is a beautiful gem on the Amalfi Coast that offers a higher perspective.

Palazzo Avino is about spending your days immersed in terraced gardens overlooking the sea, and your evenings dining on a panoramic terrace. Originally a villa from the 12th Century, the Palazzo keeps the highest standards while retaining its medieval and baroque features, with a modern taste.

Iconic views, traditional Italian moments, and an unforgettable stay awaits on the Amalfi Coast.

Some of Italy’s most memorable moments happen when you least expect them.

You go for a walk in the middle of the countryside and the most amazing olive grove views open before you. Eating lunch on a panoramic terrazza overlooking the hills while tasting fresh local ricotta served with handpicked tomatoes, olive oil and basil.

All you need to do is simply enjoy the moment with the people you love the most. And that’s a tiny bit of Italian lifestyle wrapped up for you.
