The idea of Escapio.com was born while I was planning my honeymoon. I researched a lot of hotels in the Tuscany region of Italy by personally travelling throughout the countryside. Afterwards, a lot of my friends asked for my notes as at that time, nobody online seemed to have a search tool for these types of hotels – that was the beginning of Escapio.com. The term 'escapio' is a play on 'escape' for those seeking refuge, looking to get away from it all.

For students that are interested in the story of Italian art, Tuscany is a wonderful place. The weather is quite nice but not too warm to visit the important historic monuments and museums. A fun place to stay is the B&B Antica Dimora Residenza d’Arte, an extraordinary art hotel near Siena.
Students that are looking to have fun and enjoy the nightlife, one of the most exciting cities in the world to visit is Berlin. The stylized Ellington Hotel is a great place located downtown. And, the Arte Luise Kunsthotel is located in Prenzlauer Berg, one of the hottest areas in Berlin.
A good destination for students that would prefer a more laid back break and bathe in the sun, would be Mexico. Here, we have two very appealing boutique hotels:
