Curated Spaces goes global – starting with Europe’s most soulful stays | News

Curated Spaces – the world’s first travel booking platform powered by tastemakers – is expanding internationally into Europe. In its next phase of growth, the platform will introduce a curated portfolio of independent stays in countries such as France, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Greece, including fairytale castles, seaside hideaways, romantic rural retreats and characterful countryside escapes, each selected with the same focus on soul, design and community.

Recently they have joined the platform across Western Europe: in France, Château de Pomiro, a small castle in the Gers, hidden among centuries-old trees and rolling vineyards in Gascony; Velvet House, a French collection of architect-designed nature houses outside Paris; and Manor Repère Sauvage; in Spain, the converted stone farmhouse Mas Sant Marc; in Italy, the 19th-century Puglian palazzo Palazzo San Vito and the 11th-century South Tyrolean farm Felder Alpin; in Morocco, the rural guesthouse Villa Maroc; and in Germany the Bavarian farms of Ebenreider in the Allgäu hills.
This expansion marks a major milestone for Curated Spaces, which launched in August 2025, as it scales its mission to redefine the way people discover and book travel – moving beyond algorithm-driven platforms to a more human, trusted and meaningful way to explore the world.

This expansion marks a major milestone for Curated Spaces, which launched in August 2025, as it scales its mission to redefine the way people discover and book travel – moving beyond algorithm-driven platforms to a more human, trusted and meaningful way to explore the world.

Curated Spaces will bring its signature model to new regions: connecting travelers frustrated by outdated booking models with a carefully selected collection of independent properties, all recommended by tastemakers whose perspective and style they already trust. From sun-drenched Italian masserias to French castles steeped in history and Greek seaside hideaways, each space reflects a distinct sense of place, character and lived experience.
Co-founder Molly Cooper commented on the expansion: “Our vision has always been to make travel discovery more human, soulful and personal – wherever you are in the world. Expanding into Europe is a natural next step, allowing us to highlight some of the most beautiful, characterful spaces in France, Italy and Greece, while continuing to support independent hospitality and trusted recommendations.”

Cooper continues, “These aren’t just places to stay, they’re spaces with a story, a heart and an identity. The timing feels natural as people look for more intentional journeys, from girls’ getaways and bachelorette parties to honeymoons. We’re here to make those moments unforgettable: we discover hidden gems, share insider knowledge and champion under-the-radar stays with real soul and a strong sense of place.”
The expansion also opens up new opportunities for creators across Europe, allowing tastemakers in the UK and beyond to curate and monetize their travel recommendations on a global scale. By turning inspiration into seamless, bookable experiences, Curated Spaces continues to bridge the gap between content, commerce and discovery, supporting both creators and independent hosts in a more sustainable way.
Co-founder Alex Oldfield added: “We’re building more than just a booking platform: we’re building a global community shaped by taste, trust and shared values. As we grow into Europe and more regions, maintaining that sense of intimacy and curation is critical. Every space, every recommendation and every partnership will remain intentional.”

Curated Spaces currently has over 200 hand-picked properties, including Beaverbrook, Cottage Orne, Thyme, Restaries, Rest + Wild and Broadwick Soho, and a growing network of leading tastemakers. These include Laura Jackson, Estee Lalonde, The Hungry Hobbit and more. With its expansion into Europe, the platform strengthens its position at the intersection of the global travel industry and the creative economy, while continuing to define a new category of travel discovery, cemented in authenticity.
