Curio Italia began as a personal journey.
Founder Lucas Perretti spent years exploring Italy’s lesser-known regions — wandering hill towns, meeting local winemakers, and discovering places that rarely appear in guidebooks. Along the way, friendships formed with guides, artisans, and hosts who now welcome Curio travelers into their communities.
Every Curio journey is shaped by those relationships and personally hosted to ensure the experience remains thoughtful, small, and deeply connected to place.
A max of 6–12 travelers to go where others can’t
Time to fully experience & never feel rushed
Discover more than you’ve dreamed
Travel experiences beyond the typical tour
Curated & hosted from planning to your journey’s end
Support local communities and travel responsibly
Routes shaped through years of travel across Italy’s lesser-known regions — not pulled from guidebooks, but discovered over time.
Formed through friendships with guides, artisans, and hosts who welcome Curio travelers into their world.
So we can stay in smaller villages, gather around family-run tables, and explore places larger groups rarely reach — moving with the flexibility this kind of travel requires.
Time to experience each place at the pace it deserves — with space to wander, discover, and create your own moments.
