Val d'Orcia, Tuscany
Travel isn’t just a business for Antonio Matarazzo; it is a lifelong pursuit of excellence. With a Degree in Tourism Science from Milan and a technical diploma in tourism, Antonio’s career is built on a rock-solid academic and professional foundation. For over 16 years, he has been at the helm of Cottage Viaggi, a high-end tour operator with two physical locations and a renowned digital presence (@cottage_viaggi), orchestrating complex journeys across the globe.
Before becoming a successful entrepreneur, Antonio spent 10 years in Milan managing a major incoming agency, where he mastered the logistics of high-level hospitality. His extensive experience working abroad and his relentless passion for exploration have turned him into a true global citizen. He continues to travel the world today, personally vetting every destination to ensure his clients receive only the most refined and authentic tourism products.
Driven by a desire to bring European professional standards to the heart of Indonesia, Antonio founded Bali Next Trip. This project is the culmination of his “boots-on-the-ground” philosophy—combining his deep operational expertise with a local, authentic touch. Under his leadership, Bali Next Trip isn’t just a travel agency; it’s a bridge between the sophisticated traveler and the hidden soul of Bali.
When he is not designing world-class itineraries, Antonio finds balance in his personal passions. He is a devoted animal lover, a keen reader, and a music enthusiast. His appreciation for heritage and meticulous detail is perhaps best reflected in his love for vintage cars—a hobby that mirrors his dedication to quality, history, and timeless style
“I don’t just sell tours; I curate experiences that I would want to live myself. My goal with Bali Next Trip is to ensure every traveler feels the same passion for this island that has driven my career for the last two decades.” — Antonio Matarazzo
