Hello to all on-the-road travel lovers!
We are Italianbackroads,and we’re thrilled to welcome you to a new Italy—where travel is not just a destination, but a continuous, daily, and itinerant discovery. If you’re tired of the usual tourist routes, crowded places, unclear information, and don’t have much time to plan your own itinerary, you’re in the right place!
Our mission is to reveal the true heart of Italy, the one hidden among the curves of its lesser-known roads, in the silence of ancient villages, and in the aromas of the most genuine traditions. Whenever possible, we’ll steer away from mainstream destinations and large cities, aiming to rediscover authentic experiences.
What Does “Backroad” Mean to Us?
For us Backroaders, a backroad is not simply a secondary road. It’s a travel philosophy.. It means choosing the less obvious path, the one that leads you to:
- Villages that breathe history: Far from the crowds, where people invest in the future with an eye on the past, and every alley has a story to tell.
- Breathtaking, untouched landscapes: Views that leave you speechless, often invisible from highways or main routes.
- Authentic encounters: Locals who share their passion, their knowledge, and their colorful hospitality.
- Genuine flavors: Tastings of typical products directly from the producers, dinners in taverns that preserve centuries-old recipes, and innovative lodging experiences.
- Freedom to explore: The joy of driving, stopping wherever your instinct takes you, and experiencing everything at your own pace. No obligations, just suggestions.
Our Promise of Quality: A Swiss Approach to Italian Authenticity
Born in Switzerland, we carry with us a love for precision and attention to detail, which we apply with passion to the exploration of Italy. Every itinerary on Italianbackroads has been personally curated by me, Stefano,and is designed to offer you an unforgettable and as-smooth-as-possible experience. We don’t just provide you with driving directions and pedestrian or bike routes—we suggest where to eat lunch and dinner, where to sleep and relax, guiding you toward moments that will stay etched in your memory.
We strongly believe that the real luxury in travel is the ability to connect deeply with the land, to savor every nuance, and to return home with a suitcase full of emotions and discoveries.
That’s why everything we suggest comes solely from our own expertise; it’s not the result of referral programs or collaborations. These are itineraries, restaurants, and hotels that I have personally tested and validated over the years, and I’ve decided to share them with everyone (including from my honeymoon ;-)) to create a small business.
Italian magic, Swiss made. My name is written on it.
