LUXURY TRAVEL DESIGNERS
Paul & Andrea
Your Luxury Travel Designers
We know and love every small village, corner, and place in our country, and we want to help you get to know it in the way that best reflects your tastes and preferences.
But before luxury travel designers we are above all travelers.
We love discovering new places, new foods, new cultures, learning how to get to know those who accompany us and enjoying the beauty of Italy together.
Precisely, this aspect defines the difference between what we offer you and what the classic luxury travel agencies offer.
We do not limit ourselves to organizing and booking a pre-established and undistinguished itinerary. Our objective is different; we want to offer you an exclusive, unique and inimitable luxury experience that is completely customized. What travel experience do you seek?
Why Luxo Italia? A passion that has become a job

Who We Are
PAUL LEWIS
My name is Paul and in spite of the name, I’m Italian, on my mother’s side. My mother passed on her passion and love for great gastronomy to me, while my father (of British nationality) passed on a strong sense of practicality and precision.
This multicultural mix perfectly matched my eclectic spirit, leading me to an “exploratory” life. Even after my first trip to the USA (during my childhood), I realized I was destined to travel far and wide without interruption. Currently, I can consider myself a sort of global nomad, always looking for the beauty and exclusivity the world can offer.
In addition, I became a restaurant expert and a fine wine connoisseur, two passions that I love to cultivate in my free time, as well as making the most use of them for my work. I like to design (and try) itineraries for the most refined tastes as well as for the most adventurous, in accordance with my own passions. The same ones that led me to found Luxo Italia with my great friend Andrea.
ANDREA DEGASPERI
I love traveling the world, it is my greatest passion. I take great pride in my authentic Italic roots, which have made me, and could not be otherwise, a fan of the multi-faceted Italian cuisine and its high-quality wines.
Before becoming a co-founder of Luxo Italia, I experienced several work experiences in the hospitality industry that, combined with my passion for travel, proved to be fundamental in leading me to start this adventure with Paul.
Factors reinforced by my desire to work with and for people. The radical knowledge of the territory and the great empathy that I share with my partner and friend Paul allows us to design trips and itineraries capable of responding to the needs of every client in whom we instill our passion and experience—100% Italian.
A luxury trip that comes from getting to know each other
To make sure that your luxury itinerary in Italy is perfect, it is necessary for us to meet and get to know you, establishing a confidential relationship that allows us to personalize it and make it as congenial as possible to you. Our work starts with this initial and fundamental approach.
It is no accident that our clients-travelers end up building a real friendship with us, often deciding to come back to us for new travels and new luxury experiences in Italy. An occurrence that we love to reciprocate with dinners or gifts because we consider you more than a regular client.

Testimonials
Paul coordinated an incredible, once in a lifetime Italian travel experience for us - hotels, cooking classes, dinners, wine tastings, winery visits (during the harvest!), and truffle hunting - all 5 star ++, truly authentic and with warm personal, professional service. We couldn't have asked for anything more, especially after missing Italy for 2 years.
Paul ensured that we more than made up for lost time! In addition, Paul's attention to detail and service from start to finish made this trip truly luxurious and special. We loved it all! Mille grazie, Paul!We travelled to Italy from the 15th of September to the 2nd of October 2021. Even prior to departure, Paul was on top of every detail. When we arrived in Milan and at every step along the way, the service, attention to detail and response of Paul and his partner Andrea and the staff at every luxury hotel, restaurant and excursion was amazing.
This only confirmed that Luxo Italia is highly regarded and respected. We especially loved Portofino and thanks to Paul & Andrea, those memories will be with us forever.

Lorraine & Walter FuscoTop client service and amazing high end itineraries Planning our vacation with Luxo Italia was one of the best decisions for our trip to Italy. Paul put together an itinerary that fulfilled all of our expectations and beyond.
He made amazing reservations at restaurants and hotels. He was always in touch with us coordinating our transfers to one city to another. Even when we decided to make some last minute changes he managed to rearrange everything for us seamlessly. I will make my next trip to Italy with Luxo Italia without a doubt.My husband and I were in Italy for 2 weeks. The first we spent visiting our daughter in Milan . We asked Paul & Andrea to plan our 2nd week for us. We wanted an authentic Italian experience with great food, wine, culture and making new friends. We did not want a typical tourist itinerary.
They delivered the most perfect week spent relaxing in Tuscany during the harvest and finishing in Rome being pampered in luxury. Every day was spectacular, but our favorite had to be the day spent with a chef in Tuscany at his home, learning his family’s pasta and Tiramisu traditions. Outstanding!!What a high class experience in Venice created by Andrea. Such warm welcome and hospitality, smart restaurants choices and those phenomenal private events!
Andrea is not only the most professional, but also most devoted luxury local expert in Italy. Highly recommended!❤️Wow doesn't even begin to describe their experiences. They had the highest quality adventures with impeccable attention to detail. Luxo worked diligently with us to customize a beautifully authentic tour of classic sights and unforgettable eating.
