Lento Studio
Travel that stays with you
Lento means slow
Lento Studio is the place where travel is made with care.
I’m Lauren - curator, planner, and lover of slow Italian days. I started Lento Studio to help others experience the kind of Italy I’ve fallen in love with: honest, immersive, and quietly magical.
Why Lento?
-
Because slow isn’t boring, it’s intentional.
-
It means noticing things. Taking time. Asking questions.
-
It’s staying longer in fewer places.
-
Returning to the same café twice just because it felt right.
-
Slow travel means traveling well.
Meet Lauren
I’ve always felt a pull toward Italy, so much so that my high school Italian teacher used to joke I must’ve been Italian in a past life.
​
When I was a kid, I read about Venice and dreamed of seeing its canals. In high school, I chose Italian as a subject the moment it was offered. I got a part-time job, saved up, and joined my school’s exchange trip to Italy - a trip that genuinely changed my life.
​
Since then, I’ve returned to Italy for university, for holidays, and most recently for a three-month stay to explore new regions and complete a language course. Each time I go back, I discover something new to love: a small-town bakery with the perfect cornetto, a coastline that catches golden light just so, or a family-run farmstay that feels like home.
​
Over the years, I’ve stayed in ten of Italy’s twenty regions, and I’m still adding to the list. Planning thoughtful, deeply personal itineraries has become second nature, first for friends and family, and now for people like you.
What I Believe
Travel should feel connected, not crammed.
The best memories start with a personal recommendation.
Rest is part of the itinerary.
Italy is better than the movies (if you know where to look).
