This grand apartment boasts a rarity in central Lecce – the private garden is home to a plunge pool, perfect for cooling off in the southern Italian heat. As evening arrives, the shaded outdoor dining table is a great spot for a spritz or two. Inside, the minimal furnishings let historic frescoed ceilings take centre stage and keep things feeling open and breezy, if a little spartan. The kitchen area is quirky – spread between an old-style hearth in a vast dining area and a modern oven and stove tucked away with the other appliances in a pantry-like space. If cooking isn’t your bag, there are myriad trattoria, wine bars and coffee shops in the ancient streets of Lecce around you.  

The Poolside Pearler

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Italian living with a stay in this traditional Tuscan farmhouse. Surrounded by ancient olive groves and vineyards, this is the perfect setting for a restorative retreat. From leisurely swims in the private pool to sunset drinks and barbecue meals, you’ll find everything you could need to switch off and savour the magic of the moment. The lower ground floor also features an additional kitchen and living room – making this a great option for groups and families looking to stretch out and spend quality time together. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short drive into the heart of Lucca. 

Tuscan Romance

Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and only 100 metres from the beach, this villa guarantees a memorable getaway in the south of Sicily. Outside, there’s a private pool, a seating area for alfresco refreshments and enough sun loungers for the whole group. Inside, the place is simple yet well-appointed, with a kitchen for rustling up your favourite suppers. You’ll need a car if you fancy exploring the island – Sampieri is close by, and Sicili is around a twenty-five-minute drive away.

Sea Salt & Sunbeams

This cosy apartment is located in the heart of historic Fonterutoli, surrounded by beautiful Tuscan countryside. Spend your time visiting local vineyards and wineries, or take a day-trip to Siena. The apartment has a classic Tuscan stone facade, which adds to the charm. Inside, you’ll find a fuss-free home that’s equipped with everything you might need for a short break. We think the best feature is the outside area, where you can sit in the shade of the trees and admire the stunning view. 

Wild Onion

This Sardinian villa is all about views of the turquoise sea. Mediterranean gardens lead down to the swimming pool and water’s edge where you can paddle in the rocky shallows. A short walk away, you’ll find sandy beaches and Villasimius' pretty marina. You’ve got uninterrupted views of the horizon from a covered terrace and from the open-plan living-dining room – the hanging fireplace and Moroccan-style seating make this a fab spot for socialising. Then when it comes to hitting the hay, bedrooms are split between the main villa and two separate apartments each with its own kitchenette and additional single rooms for children.  

Mediterranean Dreams

Welcome to our charming and comfortable holiday villa, aptly named 'Idyllic Haven'. Nestled in the heart of Porto Valtravaglia, Lombardy, this spacious and fully renovated 3-room terraced house offers a truly memorable experience for families or groups seeking tranquility and relaxation. With its warm and cosy furnishings, including a fireplace (for decoration) and satellite TV, the living/dining room creates the perfect atmosphere for cozy evenings. Step outside onto the covered patio, where you can enjoy al fresco dining amidst a beautiful garden filled with whispering pines and fragrant flowers. The villa boasts a fully equipped kitchen for your culinary adventures. Just a short walk from the shimmering lake, you can bask in the serenity of nature or take a refreshing dip in the shared swimming pool. Discover the nearby attractions in Laveno and Luino or embark on a ferry adventure to Verbania. 'Idyllic Haven' offers an enchanting escape for those seeking solace amidst scenic beauty and cherished memories.

Tranquil Villa Solitude

If location is king, this villa deserves to wear a crown. This seafront home is perched just above the sea that laps to shore on Quinta Spiaggia, which you can stroll to in just a few minutes. The sea views are stunning, and the home has been designed to make the most of them. A large terrace leads from the living room, so your eye is drawn to the water from almost every angle – including from the private heated swimming pool. This is a great home for a large group as there’s plenty of space. It’s also been fitted with a stair lift so can accommodate those with reduced mobility. You’ll need to pay for your linen though. 

Italian Cicero

Soak up the Italian sunshine from the immaculate gardens of this classical villa. Based in the province of Perugia on the eastern coast, here you'll be just a short drive from some wonderful beaches for sunbathing, as well as the historic city of Pesaro for sightseeing. You'll have your own private pool here where you can spend the day splashing away, and there are also places to dine and recline alfresco in absolute peace. Inside, the decor is very traditional, verging on old-fashioned in places – but we love the unique vibe it gives the home.

Classical Chorus

Come to Castelletto to cleanse your mind, body and soul with yoga, meditation and Italian food. Make your way down to the cellar spa where you'll find a six-person jacuzzi, steam room, Swedish sauna and sensory shower. There's also a gym and airconditioned yoga studio, where you can enjoy private classes and improve your practice. As is the custom in Italian homes, cooking and eating is a central theme, hence the well-equipped kitchen, outdoor pizza oven and multiple dining areas, all of which are best enjoyed after a swim in the infinity pool. 

Castelletto Cleanse

Sardinia’s coastal regions feature some of the Mediterranean’s most pristine beaches and clearest waters. While vibrant port towns and quaint villages pepper the island, the natural world dominates. It's a sensory experience of bright colours and scents of wild herbs and flowers – and even better, you can experience it all from home. 

Surrounded by tall, swaying trees and verdant lawns, you might be surprised that this resort is only a seven-minute walk from Pitrizza Beach. But rather than wild swimming, you can take a dip in one of the two outdoor pools (or sip chilled white wine at the poolside). It’s a true delight to wander through its vast gardens, taking in fresh fragrances and listening to the birds chirp in the afternoon sun.

As you arrive at the villa you can call home, you’ll love the stone walls and terracotta roof tiles – very traditional. Inside the apartment, timber beams on the ceiling offer another rustic element, painted in an elegant cream to bring the space up to date. While a calming cream-and-white colour scheme continues throughout, the homely, floral bedspread is a final nod to nature. Pure bliss.

Fragrant Fennel

Sitting pretty among the rolling farmland and hillsides of Le Marche, this rustic home is in perfect keeping with these bucolic surroundings, especially as you wander through the archways and under ceiling beams inside. Therefore, it might surprise you to learn that the building was only constructed in 2008 and has since been renovated.

It must be said that the attention to detail taken is sublime and you genuinely feel like you're walking about a majestic property that's been standing on the site for decades. Even the more contemporary aspects have been incorporated seamlessly, as seen with the fetching black surfaces in the minimalist kitchen, the designer chandeliers and the ensuite bathroom complete with a corner Jacuzzi bathtub.

The outdoor space is just as impressive, too. The heated swimming pool is sure to be the first feature that grabs your attention, but the alfresco dining table, outdoor kitchen and Weber barbecue on the terrace are sure to be just as appreciated come mealtimes. If you're ever in need of a quiet moment to yourself, there are plenty of shady spots out in the large garden full of olive and cypress trees.

You're treated to some pretty views while outside, as well as a real sense of seclusion. The nearest town is Loro Piceno about seven minutes' drive away and the Natural Reserve of Abbadia Fiastra takes a similar amount of time to reach in the opposite direction. A little further afield, it's possible to reach the Adriatic coastline at Citanova Marche in just over half an hour by car.

Cherished Memory

Whether you’re in search of a romantic escape, a solo retreat or a restorative Italian adventure, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all with an abundance of charm and character. 

Sitting peacefully in the countryside of Carovigno with the beaches of Torre Guaceto just a short drive away, this is the perfect opportunity to embrace the magic of Italian living. From slow mornings sipping coffee on the shady terrace to cooling dips in the pool and lazy barbecue lunches, it’s easy to settle in and move to your own rhythm here. And for those days when you feel like exploring further afield, make the short drive to the seafront, follow one of the nearby hiking and cycle trails or visit the majestic old towns of Ostuni and Cisternino – both within easy driving distance. 

Wherever the day takes you, by night this home transforms into an intimate rural sanctuary – perfect for lingering al fresco meals and stargazing.
