Read the full story »We recently learned about a new multi-service agency in Milan offering up luxury travel experiences, exclusive deals and some snazzy products.

Working as a specialized travel agent and tour operator, the lifestyle getaways target specific interests such as a cooking courses in Italy or city breaks. Targeting travelers who might be looking for a unique experience (isn’t that all of us?!), THE LUXER features several tours of note from spa treatments, food & wine tastings or more unique cultural experiences (stay in a castle!).

THE LUXER operates in seven European countries (Italy, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Austria) with plans to expand to the US and Asia. Their best deals seem to be located in Italy, though we’re also a fan of some of the fashion they’ve listed on the site as well. Check out their current travel deals here: http://www.theluxer.com
