Exploring Italy by rail allows you to slow down, be mindful and intentional, and experience new places and scenery that you might otherwise miss out on.
It is also a more environmentally friendly way to travel, with train and ferry transport using a lot less carbon. It is a great way to get off the beaten path and prioritise more local experiences as well.
If you would like to see more of Europe or Italy, or bring along a beloved pet, this is a fantastic way to travel. You can even combine a stay at more than one of our villas in Italy, perhaps with a week near Venice and Verona followed by a week near Florence.
Byway will tailor your flight-free journey around the specific destinations and villa rentals in our boutique portfolio that you would like to visit. Once you have booked your villa accommodation in Italy, contact Byway to start planning your trip.
Perhaps, Byway appeals to you because it means you can travel far more freely with your beloved pet. Well, at our Pet-Friendly villas in Italy your dog is always a welcome addition.
The beauty of Byway, like all our concierge services, is that they can completely tailor the journey to you. If you are interested in a one-way trip by train to your villa, but would require return flights, they can help with this. This is a special way to see the best of Italy and Europe more broadly.
To help make your trip to Italy as green as possible and reduce your carbon footprint further, opt to stay at one of our Sustainable Villas in Italy. What sets this special collection of villas apart is their commitment to lowering their environmental impact. Sustainable materials have been used in their restoration, they champion clean and renewable energy and follow organic farming principles.
Our villas range from contemporary eco-estates run on renewable energy that have been built with local wildlife conservation in mind, to Tuscan bio-architecture projects that grow their own organic produce.
From the moment you book, our Concierge Specialists can arrange local cooks to prepare farm-to-table dinners at your villa, recommend off-the-beaten-path experiences and tours and wine tastings at 0km biodynamic wineries. It is all part of our award-winning service.
