With a fantastic hilltop location close to the small medieval hamlet of Monteleone, this striking, quirky home deftly blends old with new, tradition and modernity, offering a host of handy amenities within classically elegant surroundings. Feel transported in both space and time as you meander through the pretty spaces of the interior, finding a favourite corner in which to park yourself for the afternoon with that new novel you've been carrying around, an aromatic cup of coffee, or something a little stronger (there's even a sun-filled reading room, so no excuse not to make some headway with that book of yours).

Outside, apart from the fabulous views, you will find carefully maintained romantic gardens simply made for strolling around and slowing down to appreciate the little joys in life. Take a big breath in as you take in the vista, smelling the heady aromas of the garden's many plants. Then, why not dip into the waters of the pool for a quick afternoon dip before heading off to refresh for dinner?

Having worked up an appetite, test out the lovely traditional kitchen and try to replicate some of the delicious dishes you’ve come across on your travels around the region, loading the dining table with delicious cheese, cured meats, and pasta. Bellissima!

Nice to haves

Located on a hillside blanketed with ancient olive trees and gnarled grapevines, this wonderful home offers you and your family a chance to get away from it all. Emilia-Romagna boasts some of Italy's best-preserved medieval towns, its finest produce, and its friendliest people – there's little not to love about this less-visited part of the country.

Your hosts have paid great attention to detail to create a home that boasts all the modern conveniences you'd hope to find while employing age-old building techniques to create a traditional-looking property that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Inside, you'll find tiled floors, exposed beams and vaulted brick ceilings, plus plenty of antiques that lend further credence to the idea that this building could be four or 400 years old.

Beyond the gorgeous interiors, outside is where this home really shines. With over 10,000 sqft of gardens, there's plenty of space for an inviting pool and two covered seating areas, as well as verdant lawns for the kids to play on. The awe-inspiring views over the surrounding landscape are just the icing on the cake. 

If you can tear your eyes away, we'd suggest exploring the charming hilltop villages. You never know when you'll stumble across the best wine or olive oil you've ever tasted. Elsewhere, the historic cities of Cesena and Rimini are approximately twenty kilometres away.

Surrounded by 70,000 square metres of glorious greenery and Romagna’s undulating hills, this villa just outside Cesana is a relaxing getaway that will reconnect you with nature. 

Thanks to its position at the foot of a hill, the home has sublime 360-degree panoramic views of breathtaking countryside, not to mention its own stunning grounds where an inviting pool takes centre stage. Spend afternoons soaking up the Italian rays and taking cool dips in the water before gathering around the pergola’s table for an alfresco feast. 

When you need to retreat from the heat, find the shaded hammock to laze in with a good book, or head inside to the open-plan living area with its vaulted beamed ceiling and comfortable sofa. 

When it’s time for bed, make a beeline for the pared-back bedrooms and watch the moon hang over the hills from the picture windows. In the morning, you’ll wake up to glorious views – even enjoyed from under the rainfall shower in the main en-suite. 

When it comes to exploring the local area, you’re just a twenty-three-minute drive from Cesena and a fifty-minute drive from Rimini, while the foodie city of Bologna is an hour and fifteen minutes away by car.

We recommend hiring a car so you can drive to nearby Ravenna and Forli, and admire the countryside on the way.

Just over an hour away by train from lively Bologna, Brisighella is a charming medieval village straight out of a storybook. With its hilltop clock tower, narrow alleyways and ancient walkway, it's the definition of picturesque. And this villa on the outskirts of town is the perfect place to take it all in. Consisting of the main house and a small annexe, everything here feels bright and welcoming. There's a touch of that rustic warmth you'd expect from a country home in the knotted beams and stone floor, but otherwise, the design is all old-world elegance – imagine wingback chairs, canopy beds and glittering chandeliers. Outside, the panoramic views of the Tuscan Apennines take centre stage. Whether you're sipping wine under the pergola, taking a dip in the pool or enjoying home-cooked meals in the fresh air, you'll have a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets and sweeping night skies. Trust us – you'll never want to leave.

It may be less than a thirty-minute drive from the spectacular Renaissance city of Florence, but this home feels like another world. Located up in the hills, you'll discover a spectacular villa – complete with a clock tower – just outside the small village of Cellai, where time seems to stand still. 

Pad across terracotta-tiled floors, with wood beam ceilings above, and discover rooms filled with character and charm, where period features and modern touches sit effortlessly alongside one another. Nowhere is this better displayed than in the contemporary kitchen and adjoining dining room with its antique stove. Each of the four bedrooms blends rustic charm with supreme comfort, while the bathrooms are fitted out with beautiful tiles and gleaming marble for a touch of luxury.

Step outside and you'll discover a lush landscape of terraced gardens, an inviting pool and breathtaking views over the Tuscan terrain. Your hosts recommend making the trip to Forno La Chiocciola, where you can stock up on Florentine speciality flatbread, schiaccata, each morning. Afterwards, place yourself poolside and settle in for a day of sunbathing, interrupted only by refreshing dips in the water and trips to the kitchen to get some more of that delicious bread.

Surrounded by olive groves and ancient woods, this traditional farmhouse welcomes you to an authentic stay in the heart of Tuscany. 

Located on Pomaio hill with sweeping views across the countryside, this is a wonderful setting to retreat into the heart of nature. And from the moment you arrive, you’ll want to savour the rustic simplicity and charm of this home – it’s the perfect place to connect with the timeless beauty of Italy. 

Families and friends will love gathering here – the communal spaces feel warm and intimate, inviting you to slow down and enjoy quality time together. And whether you’re drinking your morning coffee in the garden, swimming in the pool or cooking in the cosy kitchen, this is the kind of home that enriches daily living. 

Outside, follow the garden path out into the surrounding countryside for an inspiring stroll, or make the short drive into the majestic city of Arezzo – just ten–minutes away. Whether you’re admiring 15th century frescoes and abbeys, or olive trees and vineyards, this home is the perfect setting to celebrate the authentic taste of Tuscany.

This home is a lesson in history, from the Roman era of lavish bathhouses and marble statues, to the present day. Spa days in the privacy of your home await with an indoor pool that could rival the ancient baths of old Rome and a sauna and Turkish hammam to complete the experience. And the state-of-the-art gym is a reminder that you’re still in the 21st century. On sunny days, pad from the indoor pool to the outdoor pool, lined with loungers. From here, a stairway leads to the rest of the gardens where 15,000 square metres are filled with marble statues, linden trees and vast lawns. You could get lost exploring each manicured area bursting with herbs and flowers. 

Heading inside this 17th-century villa, you’ll find sitting rooms adorned with frescoes, gilded mirrors and arched windows looking out over the vineyards and rolling hills of your locale. There are several lounges to choose from, but our favourite might have to be the art-deco-style room with its 1920s bar for rounds of cocktails and a grand piano to set the soundtrack yourself. There’s no denying that each bedroom and bathroom feels grand, as though designed for Italian nobility with marble finishes and Jacuzzi tubs. But, heading into the kitchen, the scene changes to one of farmhouse rusticana, with all the mod cons of the 21st century to help you cater for the group.

The location is a secluded one, tucked away amidst the agricultural landscape of Emilia Romagna (considered the larder of Italy). The Adriatic Sea is a short drive away should you wish to hit the beach and there are plenty of places to pause for an espresso or stock up on the famous produce of the region in the nearby town of Forli. One thing not to miss is the view from ‘The Balcony of Romagna’ at the medieval borgo of Bertinolo, just a kilometre away. 

The Roman Spa

Balcony / Patio

With white marble, dark stained woods, and rough-hewn stone, this villa feels like an extension of the Italian hillside rather than anything made by man. Overlooking the countryside of the quiet province of Pesaro and Urbino, this home is made for relaxation; float in the crystal waters of the pool, swing in the huge hammock on the deck while the kids entertain themselves in the little playhouse, and admire the panoramic views of the poplars, cypresses and oaks that surround the home. If you can rouse yourself to explore further, you’ll discover a whole host of delights within five minutes of your home. The country’s truffle capital, Acqualagna, is just a few minutes drive away, so you can dine on the delicacy at every meal, and a short stroll will bring you to your very own private beach on the shores of the Candigliano River – perfect for picnics, fishing expeditions, and swimming beneath the high Italian sun.

Located amidst the rolling hills and vineyards of Chianti, this Tuscan oasis makes for a serene retreat. There is plenty of space inside for the whole brood to spread out, thanks to an array of lounges and cosy bedrooms. Sure, the design is traditional, but extras like the welcome hamper and bottle of local wine make it easy to settle in. Out in the landscaped garden, you can splash in the private pool or find a spot to enjoy an alfresco aperitif. Your host can also arrange top-notch services to elevate your stay, from daily housekeeping to guided tours and cooking lessons.

High up in the hills of Chianti sits this magnificent eighteenth-century residence, flanked by olive groves, rose gardens and lemon trees. The sublime archway structures harken back to the traditional Italian palazzo, and the interiors – prizing terracotta tiles and antique furniture – have a distinctly regal feel. With grounds that sprawl out over multiple hectares and rolling hills surrounding you, you’ll feel like royalty staying here. The dining room is prime for opulent banquets, while the arched patio and the poolside area will answer all of your relaxation needs. When the sun heats up, head down the terracotta steps for a cool swim under the Mediterranean sun. Even better, you’ll be surrounded by the lush vineyards and beautiful food of the Chianti region. What more could you want?

Explore the beautiful Adriatic Riviera from this charming home, just a stone’s throw away from Cattolica’s sandy beaches. Bright and white inside, elegant details abound in the living room where gold curtains, tiled floors and a large fireplace invite plenty of rest and relaxation. Outside, a palm-framed pool gives the garden zen-like tranquility, with sun loungers perfectly positioned to catch some rays. Spend the afternoon enjoying the cool soak of the pool’s waterfall or head to the umbrella striped beach, less than five minutes away on foot. Rimini, with its lively nightclubs and golden beaches, is also just over thirty minutes away by car. In the evenings, gather around the home's outdoor dining table for a barbecue, then head inside for a night of musical fun in the games room, ready to host a jam session with its piano and guitar. 

Adriatic Jewel

Head into the Tuscan hills just outside the charming village of Cellai and keep an eye out for an imposing villa with its own bell tower. Almost unbelievably, this stunning property will be your home from home for however long you decide to stay.

Step inside your apartment, and you'll discover a typically Tuscan scene, with tiled terracotta floors, exposed wooden ceilings and frescoes painted directly on the walls. Four individually decorated bedrooms, each as enchanting as the last, will serve as your soothing sanctuaries for you to unwind at the end of each day. The spacious interior includes not one but two seating areas, so you can always claim a secluded spot as your own for the afternoon if you want to get lost in the pages of a good book. Meanwhile, the kitchen and dining area are perfect for sociable meals with family and friends in true Italian style. 

Outside in the shared garden, you'll find yourself surrounded by pristine landscaped gardens with a vine-covered pergola, terraced seating and perhaps most importantly, a pool. 

Start each day by visiting Forno La Chiocciola, where you can stock up on fresh bread, including Florentine speciality flatbread, schiaccata. Then, when you're not laying out on poolside loungers and sipping wine in the sun, the stunning Renaissance city of Florence is less than half an hour away. Why not get to know the artistic, architectural and cultural history of Tuscany, spending an afternoon or three wandering its streets and taking it all in. 


The Legendary Giulia

Lounge by the lavender-edged 18-metre lap pool with its beautiful views of the forested hills and distant hilltop village of Castagnoli. You can’t see the pool from the house, as it's 70 metres down a track, past the owner's villa – but once there, it’s a sight to behold. Or relax on your terrace or balcony in the private garden. It’s the perfect spot for an Italian feast cooked on the barbecue or rustle up something in the kitchen on the first floor with its marble worktops. If you need to top up on ingredients, then Gaiole, 4 kilometres away, has a selection of shops, as well as restaurants, while the nearest village, Barbischio, 1 kilometre away, has a superb trattoria.

This breathtaking villa is one of the oldest in the hamlet of Castelfranco Piandiscò, and it wears its history with pride. The traditional stone exterior gives way to a charmingly traditional living space – you'll be enchanted by the rustic wooden beams, collection of antique furniture and terracotta tiles. The ancient Valdarno fireplace is a beautiful centrepiece, and you'll find a second feature fireplace in the kitchen. The four bedrooms are wonderfully peaceful, and one even has access to the balcony, where you can sip your morning espresso in the fresh air. In, fact, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor space – from the beautiful garden, full of greenery and flowers, to the smart patio, you can't help but adopt an alfresco lifestyle here. Pick a book or magazine from the extensive home library, and bask in the Italian sunshine before taking a refreshing dip in the infinity pool. Adventurers can explore the stunning scenery surrounding the commune, wandering through olive groves and beech woods in true tranquility. And, if you fancy a day in the city, both Arezzo and Florence are only thirty kilometres away – their world-famous cultural relics have to be seen to be believed. 

Golden Silence

Nestled in a private estate overlooking the Chianti hills, this cottage sets the tone for a magical Italian stay. There’s a private terrace and outdoor seating for alfresco dining, while the rooms make it easy to switch off and unwind. You can enjoy access to the shared swimming pool and there are plenty of spots where you can sit back and admire the views. It also makes a great base for exploring this beautiful region. From here, its a short drive to the local villages of Lecchi and San Sano, while Siena and Florence are also within driving distance. 

Chianti Sunrise

Fenced Property

Nestled in the Tuscan countryside with a private pool, serene outdoor space and views across Chianti’s vineyard-laced hills – what’s not to love about this home? Comfortable for a family or group of friends, inside, you’ll find a seamless blend of traditional and modern. And, when you fancy a spot of sightseeing or some authentic Italian cuisine, you can walk to the hilltop town of Radda, just two minutes away, or for jaunts further afield, hop in the car for a day trip to Florence or Siena.

Tucked away in vineyards and verdant pastures as far as the eye can see, this home promises tranquillity with breathtaking views to boot. You'll find it tucked away in Terranuova Bracciolini, surrounded by natural beauty and just a thirty-minute drive from Arezzo. Here, you're in a convenient spot for exploring Tuscany, with Siena and Florence both just shy of an hour's drive away.

We're completely infatuated with this home's rustic charm. It's set across two pastel-hued and ivy-clad villas, making it the perfect base for families and large groups. We especially love the majestic glass-walled recreation space, dressed to the nines for entertaining, with a banquet-style dining table, cosy lounge, ping pong and billiards table. 

Inside, it's a quaint canvas of terracotta tiled floors, shuttered windows and timber beamed ceilings, while contemporary comforts promise a want-for-nothing stay. After a restful slumber in the cosy sleeping quarters, spend mornings in the fully-equipped country kitchen, brewing espressos or tucking into breakfast on the veranda. 

Fringed by lush, landscaped grounds, including a home-grown vegetable garden that you're encouraged to forage, this home beckons you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. Here, a saltwater infinity pool takes centre stage, a glistening oasis amidst the perfectly clipped emerald lawn. Spend your days poolside, soaking up the sun or relaxing beneath the shade of the rose garden nearby. 

Tuscan Rose

Breakfast Included

Step across the stone bridge over the river into this lovingly restored water mill. Where the old pond once lay, there’s now a swimming pool – a great place to relax while listening to the sound of the river. Set over several levels, the accommodation is split between the main house and a separate annexe for two guests. The kitchen is on the first floor, but if you want a break from cooking, your hosts can offer a full board option here (breakfast is provided). There are plenty of original features, such as millstones and beams, and we love the main bedroom suite, too, with its views. Situated between Arezzo and Florence, you’ll find many picturesque villages and towns to explore.

The views at this Umbrian home are truly spectacular. The villa stands in vast private grounds just a ten-minute drive from the hilltop town of Montone, looking out over the hills and valleys of the Umbrian countryside. It’s a secluded retreat, but still within easy access to all that Umbria has to offer. The villa is rustic, with a simple and comfortable decor – expect cotto floors, beamed ceilings and exposed original stonework, plus a few antiques. The gardens have been designed to make the most of the wraparound views, so you’ll find many a terrace and quiet corner to enjoy. We love the fig tree by the pool – time your visit right and you can pick sun-warmed fruit straight from the tree for breakfast. 

Drink in the Serenity

Fenced Garden

Full of charm, we love this home’s history. It’s hard to imagine its olive press past, save for the very obvious reminder in the living area. But to add to its appeal, it’s flexible when it comes to sleeping arrangements, too. With a main house sleeping four and a cottage sleeping two, a stay here affords one couple a bit more privacy, with each home even boasting its own terrace. Ready to mingle? Sink into the warm waters of the hot tub or cool off in the pool, the choice is yours. 

Mulberry & Olive

Juicer

This charming villa, nestled among the olive trees in Tuscany, is ideal for those looking for fuss-free comfort. Inside the home, you'll find an upside-down layout, while outside, there are two balconies overlooking the square and Pratomagno mountain, as well as a private garden to stroll around. There’s also a large, shared infinity swimming pool and games room with a billiards table. If you don't fancy cooking, guests have access to an on-site restaurant for meals, and the concierge can help organise tours, so it’s easy to explore cities such as Florence nearby.

Casa San Giorgio

Surrounded by scenery straight out of an oil painting, it comes as no surprise that the variety of landscape in the Valdarno area is believed to have been portrayed by the great da Vinci himself. The so-called balze that characterise the region and numerous artworks, rural structures, and Romanesque churches provide the perfect backdrop to this stunning, Tuscan palace. By no means out of place amongst such grandeur and history, an aristocratic elegance floods this home. From its turreted bedrooms, wooden beam ceilings, and formal dining room, to its private drive and panoramic veranda that looks out onto twenty-hectares of land and bordering vineyards. Large groups and families will have no struggle for space here, with a main house and two annexes to spread out over. A games veranda also sports its own gym area with treadmill and stepper, whilst multiple porches and shaded lounge areas offer endless spots for relaxation and retreat. A short distance from the home lies a number of trails to explore, either by foot or mountain bike, which your host supplies. Dotted with sites of Roman and Etruscan heritage and a wealth of flora and fauna, there is beauty to behold as far as the eye can see. 

Villa da Vinci

Access to Gym / Spa

Lift Access

Nestled in the verdant hills of Bologna, this villa is part of a luxurious resort that offers guests a truly unique and indulgent experience. With an array of amenities on-site, including restaurants, a spa, a tennis court, a children’s play area, and a golf course, you'll have everything you need for an unforgettable stay. The villa itself boasts spacious and stylish interiors spread over two floors (this may not suit those with limited mobility), complete with four charming bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Outdoors, you can relax in the garden with a glass of Sangiovese or indulge in the hot tub. And if you wish to take your stay to the next level, why not have your host arrange and private chef and barman for a night? 

Lilac Bloom

Nestled in the rolling hills of Marche, this home is the definition of rural charm. The 200-year-old farmhouse is now a charming, four-bedroom villa showcasing both modern amenities and traditional style. Admire the exposed wooden beams and fireplace in the living space, and take in the views from the master bedroom's private balcony – whoever takes this room is very lucky indeed. The garden is an attraction in its own right, with flourishing flowers and shaded dining areas where you can enjoy breakfast in the morning. Relax by the pool with a book and soak up the views, returning to the house only to rustle up lunch in the kitchen to enjout in the conservatory, one of our favourite spots. If it's even possible, the gardens perhaps look more charming after the sun goes down, when the pool lights up and lamps cast the trees in a warm glow. Gather out here for a barbecue, and afterwards curl up in the historic living room for a nightcap. While this home's charm comes from its rural location, you're just a twenty-minute drive from Pesaro, a coastal city where you can visit palaces and take to the many cycling trails. 

The Rest Is History

This villa can be found in charming, medieval Palazzuolo sul Senio, just over an hour from Florence. It’s surrounded by dense forests, with hiking and trekking trails through the Apennines from nearby, though a restaurant and shops 100 metres away mean it’s not too remote. If you’re like us, you’ll spend most of your time outside, swimming in the pool, chilling in the hot tub, or feasting on the covered terrace – barbecue, anyone? The two one-bedroom apartments are ideal for couples seeking a bit of space, making this an excellent choice for a large family holiday.

Ideally located in rural Tuscany, this country villa will provide the perfect base for holidays spent relaxing, wine tasting and hiking around this stunning part of northern Italy. With 8 hectares of olive trees and gardens at your disposal, you’ll want to spend most of your time enjoying the pool, hot tub and alfresco dining area. Inside, you’ll find some of the bedrooms have double beds made up of singles which will give you flexibility, while the separate annexe is perfect for couples seeking extra privacy. And when you want to explore the real Italian Dolce Vita lifestyle, have your host arrange an olive oil tour or truffle hunting excursion.

The Grapes of Violetta

On the border between Valdarno and Chianti, this hilltop villa in the heart of Tuscany is just a short drive from the town of Montevarchi and within an hour of Arezzo. The rustic interior may feel dated to some, though we think it’s part of the charm. Outside, the well-kept garden offers views of the surrounding valley, a furnished portico, and a private swimming pool, open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.
