More about us
In order to offer you an unforgettable stay during your journey, we have personally selected different authentic, historical and cultural locations for you. Amongst these are beautiful villas and resorts, agriturismo estates, romantic bed and breakfast, charming Masserias and hotels.
Unique locations
The locations that Andando has chosen are definitely different and often unique.
Our locations are special in more than one way: you can always count on places that can be called extraordinary both location and charm wise. They offer you the chance to enjoy a culture that has been preserved: away from paths already taken, to stay in a place where you are hospitably received and where local traditions are honoured.
With this train of thoughts as foundation and based upon years of experience with the versatile Italian culture, the people, customs and language, we have selected these special locations.
Are you curious about local traditions and habits, breathtaking sceneries and the historical authenticity of a place? And, do you wish to enjoy exclusively the service and hospitality that the location you have chosen offers you?
Then Andando, slow travel is the place to be!
More About ‘Slow’
In 1986, the Italian culinary journalist Carlo Petrini, appalled at the opening of an American fast food restaurant on the Piazza di Spagna in Roma, came out with what is today the Slow movement.
At the end of 1989, the International Slow Food Movement is founded with a first Slow Food Manifest. For a logo, the ultimate symbol of slowness is chosen, namely, the snail.
A lot of traditional regional foods in the world are at risk of extinction due to ignorance, forgery or strict rules of hygiene. To prevent this from happening, Slow Food started the project "Ark of Taste" in 1996. Scientists, journalists and Slow Food members all over the world seek for forgotten authentic foods, describe processing techniques and their historical background background and try to find still existing traditional producers.
The quality of life and travel
Today, the notion 'slow' has been adopted by many around the world, as so by us.
Andando, slow travel doesn't only pay attention to the quality of life and travel, but wants to be different from mass tourism and ready- made trips that are offered in bulk.
We want to focus attention on the differences in local culture, culinary traditions, artesian and natural productions and the quality of life in general. It's about enjoying a journey, minding detail, the extraordinary and for tradition.
Slow doesn't necessarily always mean 'slow'. Slow can be fast.
It's about a philosophy that opposes superficiality and advocates the improvement of the standard of living.
