Inside, the rooms are set across three floors and each of the bedrooms comes with an en-suite bathroom – adding a wonderful sense of privacy.

This elegant country house lies just outside Rome, with bus links into the city. Separated into two apartments, we think it's a great choice for families. The inside of the home is quite dated and won't be to everyone's taste, and at full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in one of the living areas. That said, kids will love the large garden and playground and your host can provide a cot and high chair for an additional fee. Outdoors you'll find a kitchen and bathroom in a separate building, along with the barbecue grill and alfresco dining area under the pergola for some extra protection from the sun.

Set about a few lengths in one of the two swimming pools then settle under the porch for tea, whilst admiring the sprawling grounds. The professional kitchen is perfectly equipped for the chef of your group to prepare a feast, whilst the formal dining room is a delight to share an intimate dinner.

Single-Level Home

Formerly the holiday destination for wealthy Roman patricians, Frascati sits next to the ancient town of Tusculum and is an oasis of calm just outside of Rome. This apartment is the perfect base from which to explore a beautiful region, steeped in Ancient history. This apartment is newly renovated while retaining touches of old world charm, like the wooden beamed ceilings. With a sleek kitchen, for whipping up meals in, a cosy sofa for watching movies on, and a modern bathroom, you will feel right at home here. If you are looking for somewhere to work remotely, the apartment has speedy Wi-Fi and a washing machine in the small outdoor space, so is well suited to longer stays. 

The apartment is located in the city centre, where you will find plenty of local coffee shops, excellent restaurants and a train station that gets you into Rome in thirty minutes. Walk two minutes and you will reach Ombrellino Park, with its beautiful landscaping and plenty of games for children, it’s especially popular among locals. Five minutes away from the home, you’ll also find Villa Torlonia known for its English-style garden (one of the only in the city) and panoramic views of Rome. On hot summer days, we recommend you drive twenty minutes to Lago Albano, a fabulous bright blue volcanic lake where you can swim, paddleboard and canoe.

Set within two hectares of land, this charming country home offers some peace and tranquility just outside of Rome. Showcasing a little rustic style, you can expect wooden floors, ceiling beams and stone walls, creating a cosy ambiance throughout. The most impressive part of this home is perhaps the garden, which has fragrant flowers and plenty of green space for the whole family to stretch out. Relax on a sun lounger with a cup of coffee or play with the kids on the playground and trampoline, there's something for everyone here. If you fancy getting out and about, there are some beautiful hiking and biking trails in the area, plus the town of Rocca di Papa itself which houses many beautiful churches.

However you spend your time, you'll always have a relaxing retreat to return to. Whip up rustic Italian feasts in the outdoor kitchen, thanks to a wood-burning oven and barbecue. The pergola is the perfect place to dine alfresco on warm evenings, before heading back indoors to get comfy by the open fireplace.

Lazio might not get the plaudits of Tuscany or Umbria, but it's still a beautiful region of Italy – just look at the hilltop views from this home's excellent outdoor space, which offers both a dining terrace and swimming pool to keep visitors happy during the warmer months. The home itself used to be a stable and while there's none of the period charm you often find with restored buildings, we think that it's a solid – if slightly unremarkable – place to rest your head for a week or two.

This villa sits in idyllic countryside, yet is less than an hour’s drive from the centre of Rome, so you can get the best of both worlds. You’ll find this place perched between two golf courses, and a short walk from the banks of serene Lake Monterosi and the town of the same name. Spend a day exploring your surroundings or head to the Colosseum and ancient ruins of central Rome, a fifty-minute drive away.

The home itself is split across two separate villas, sharing a grand social space outdoors. Two swimming pools are connected by an infinity edge and beg for a dip on a hot day. Dine poolside under the shade of a parasol, or set up beneath the shaded veranda for a barbecue feast. Come sundown, the gazebo by the pool shades comfy sofas and chairs for an aperitivo. Across the private gardens, azaleas and roses bloom and the whole place is surrounded by olive groves.

Heading inside, honey-yellow walls are livened up with modern artworks and the old timber of the building is on display. Brick archways connect lounges with games rooms and there’s a full-size snooker table for evenings in. Bibliophiles will love the floor-to-ceiling bookcases, stuffed with paperbacks and gilded classics – the perfect accompaniment to a crackling fire in the main lounge. 

The Last Word

In the heart of Lazio, this elegant villa offers a luxurious retreat. There are wonderful views to enjoy from the balcony, and there’s a sparkling private pool in the large garden. Inside, character features blend with modern furnishings, and there are more vistas to enjoy from some of the bedrooms. At full capacity, one guest will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the main bedroom and another two people on a sofa bed in bedroom three. This home is perfectly located for exploring Lazio's beautiful countryside and towns. Tarquinia, known for its ancient sites and lively markets, is a short drive away. The sandy beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast are also within easy reach – this villa’s location has something for everyone.

Rooftop Terrace

Sun Umbrellas

The views over Rome from this apartment’s large rooftop terrace are fantastic. It’s a great place to relax with its outdoor dining area and sun loungers. Inside is impressive too, with its living room with double-height ceilings and a mezzanine chill-out area. Another highlight is the location – you’ll be a short walk from the opera house and the Palazzo Massimo alle Terme museum. Other attractions within walking distance include many of the city’s key monuments, such as the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum.

Historic Oasis

Hot Tub

Dating back to the early 1900s, you can see the turn-of-the-century architecture in the stone steps between terraces and wooden-shuttered windows. It’s a veritable playground for those that seek relaxation in the terraced gardens, where succulents fill the perfectly positioned flower beds. Spend days floating in the sleek, modern swimming pool with its integrated Jacuzzi. Lunch can be taken at the round table on the lower terrace, while dinner can be set up on the upper terrace at the more formal spot. Sun loungers are shaded by parasols and there are two hanging egg chairs for reading in the sun. From here, you can catch a glimpse of the sea with the Pontine islands floating in the deep blue.

Inside, it’s an ode to grandeur as rooms are filled with gallery-worthy sculptures and striking paintings. Art deco chandeliers in the luxe living room hark back to the villa’s origins and you can take in that sea view from the comfort of plush sofas. Parquet flooring intersects with the original salvaged mosaic. We love the light-filled kitchen with its green splashes of trailing botanica. Or, perhaps, the original vaulted ceiling in the basement bedroom with its baby grand piano in the corner. 

Location-wise, you’re in the coastal town of Circeo where a long stretch of beach is just a short walk away. In the other direction, the ancient, walled centre of town awaits with a handful of local trattoria in the shambling streets.

A contemporary enclave nestled right in the middle of one of the world’s ancient metropolises, this three-bedroom apartment will charm you from the moment you step in. Modern furnishings mix with intricately traditional decor, and light spills in from the large windows throughout. In the morning, hop out of bed and get immediately into the shower a few feet away – a great way to start a big day of sightseeing. There’s plenty of that to do here – the Vatican, across the river, is a short walk away, as is the Piazza Navona and the Pantheon in the other direction.

The Lavender Sky     

If you've been dreaming of a Roman holiday, this one-bed apartment may do the trick. Located on the second floor of an Umbertine period building, this homestay oozes character inside and out. Expect to find here a quiet sanctuary to rest your head between all the sightseeing you'll undoubtedly do in this storied city. The Vatican, Piazza del Popolo, Castel Sant'Angelo, and many more attractions are all within walking distance, not to mention the impressive number of authentic eateries, charming shopping streets, and grand plazas just a stone's throw away. That being said, with its very own private terrace acting as an oasis amid the flurry of a vibrant city, you could just as easily spend your evenings reading under the stars or dining alfresco.

Rare Roman Find

Built in the 19th century, this stunning Italian country home sits in the WWF Oasis of Pian Sant'Angelo, adorned with greenery, an abundance of natural wildlife, and endless tranquillity. 

Outside, the scent of chestnuts, hazelnuts and olive trees fragrance the air with blissful aroma, while vast grassy lawns colour the landscape and gardens green in every direction you look. Serve up authentic Italian meals in the romantic setting of the alfresco dining area – lunch times out here are particualrly special. Then, spend your days whiling away amid the surrounding mosaic of nature upon relaxing by the private pool. 

Inside, the home embodies the quintessential Italian country home dressed with exposed chestnut-wooden beams, stone walls, terracotta flooring, furnishings, and upholstery in warm colours. You'll find the annexe just twenty metres from the main house, boasting its own living room, kitchenette and bedroom-bathroom suite – the ideal set-up for grandparents joining you on a family getaway or those travelling with a nanny. 

Located in an area of 254 hectares, you'll be within direct access to nature walks, trails, cycling and horseback riding here – and with every possibility of bumping into the local wildlife, including wild boars, foxes, porcupines, badgers and ducks, to name a few. Meanwhile, by car, you'll also be well-positioned to go on excursions and visit some of the most beautiful places in northern Lazio (a land of volcanic lakes and centuries-old woods). Finally, for a slice of civilisation, head out to the local town of Corchiano, just a few kilometres away, to discover its independent shops and restaurants. 



Mosaic of Nature

Turn off the small orchard-lined road down a dusty track and lay your eyes on this exquisite house that will transport you back in time. The owners have lovingly restored this farmhouse to its former glory, taking great care to create a spectacular home from home that's set to exceed all your expectations.

First impressions count, and they don't get much better than this. But what might not be immediately apparent on arrival is how the villa's old-world charm will slowly unveil itself to you throughout your stay here. From the fact that there's always a shaded spot by the pool to escape the heat, to the way the breeze picks up in the afternoon just as you're questioning whether you might have to retreat inside and how the sun settles on the seating area by the house each evening – these factors combine to create a stay that's sure to live long in the memory.

Inside, you'll find all the mod cons you'd expect sitting beneath elegant vaulted ceilings and surrounded by antique furniture. The spacious rooms provide plenty of space to socialise, as well as secluded spots to claim as your own when you want to lose yourself in the pages of a good book. The lush grounds don't disappoint either. Immaculately tended between guest visits, they're filled with centuries-old oaks, mature pine trees and luxuriant lawns. There's also a fenced-off pool, ideal for relaxing days by the pool.

While you might be off the beaten track, the villa is only sixty-five kilometres from Rome, so you can spend the morning enjoying your rural idyll before heading into the city for lunch and a chance to explore the capital's headline-grabbing sights.

Querce d’Orlando

Only forty-five minutes away from the ancient city of Rome, this tranquil, wild location feels like a million miles away. This home is secluded, in beautiful lush countryside and surrounded by olive, persimmon and pomegranate trees. You can soak in the picture-perfect views from the private swimming pool, the dining room, or even from the bedroom. The flexible sleeping options (double rooms to twin rooms, plus optional sofa beds in the shared open space) make it a great home for family holidays. It’s also the perfect place to explore the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside with olive groves, vineyards and medieval castles waiting to be discovered. 

Sample delectable local delicacies from the restaurants and tavernas of nearby villages, as well as some of the best wine the region has to offer, and pick up cute little souvenirs to take home as a memento of a truly unforgettable holiday. Turano Lake is a scenic twenty-minute drive from home and offers guests the chance really reconnect with nature with outdoor activities such as fishing, canoeing and hiking. And of course, the Eternal City of Rome can be reached in a forty-five-minute drive from the villa, and promises days full of sightseeing, sumptuous dining, and shopping extravaganzas.



Pomegranate & Persimmon

This beautiful home is located in Nepi, just thirty minutes from Rome. It’s tucked away in the countryside but you can easily see the sights of the city and dine in some of Italy’s best restaurants – you get the best of both worlds here. We love the private pool and the garden, and the veranda is the perfect spot for alfresco dining. The home is located on an organic family farm – this is a rustic base that’s full of charm. 

Blue Sky Vines

This former farmhouse boasts panoramic views, a private swimming pool, and plenty of character. Everyone will love milling about the garden. Stretch out on a poolside lounger after a dip, or gather under the veranda for a drink as the sun goes down. We're big fans of the traditional details inside – think chestnut ceiling beams, terracotta floors, and antique Sicilian majolica pottery. For those keen on privacy, the fifth bedroom is situated in an adjacent annexe with its own kitchenette. Location-wise, the small commune of Attigliano is a five-minute drive away, while Orvieto, Perugia, and Rome are all great day trip options.

New Perspective

Hammock

This Italian farmhouse stands amid 30 hectares of private fields, woodlands, and landscaped gardens. You’ll share this space with nine retired racehorses, who graze freely on the grounds – you can even bring your own horses to share their stables. The home is grand yet tasteful, with curios in every corner – some of the decor has been used in Valentino campaigns. With a shallow fountain pool, an 1800-metre running track, and a vegetable patch the private chefs use for your meals, this home is bound to impress. 

Little Masks

Sauna

A marigold marvel against the sapphire sky and green lawn that surrounds it, this home in Italy’s Lazio region looks portrait-perfect in all its colourful glory. Inside, arched stained glass doorways combine with an effusion of art, artisanal ceramics, exposed beam ceilings and terracotta tiles to create a kaleidoscope of colours and textures that dazzle as the sunlight pours through the chestnut wood windows and French doors on each side. Wake up in the comfortable bedrooms, enjoy your morning coffee on the terrace or catch up on some work – if you must – in the elegant, book-lined office. Spend the afternoon taking cool dips in the pool, soaking up the sun in the hammock and letting your competitive side out in a game or two of ping pong. With a playhouse and slide in the large garden too, there’s more than enough to keep all ages entertained. After a day of lounging in your own private oasis or driving ten minutes to Civita Castellana, known for its beautiful ceramics, come back home for drinks by the flower-filled stone fountain. Then fire up the wood-burning oven and the brick-built barbecue for a memorable alfresco dinner. 

Living In Colour

This recently restored 19th-century farmhouse is all you could wish for from a stay in Umbria. We love the character features such as the Barberino stone walls, terracotta floors, and barrel vault ceilings with exposed chestnut beams. The large rooms and furnishings wonderfully evoke noble hunting lodges of the last century. 

The real highlights here, though, are the beautifully-kept garden with its lawns and fragrant rose, lavender and rosemary bushes. There are around 5 hectares to explore as well. Spend your days lounging by the gorgeous saltwater pool, admiring the views over the countryside, relax in the hammock or enjoy an alfresco lunch under the jasmine-covered pergola. An impressive centuries-old oak also provides pleasant natural shade – the perfect spot to read a book.

Out and about, explore the olive groves, hills and woods of Umbria on foot, mountain bike or horseback. Or head to medieval hill town Lugnano in Teverina, a twenty-five-minute drive away. The Marmore Falls, a man-made waterfall created by the ancient Romans, is thirty minutes in the car and well worth a trip.

The Italian town of Viterbo – sandwiched between Rome and Tuscany – has been renowned for its thermal baths since the Romans were around. With this centrally located apartment, you don't even need to step out your front door for some restorative me-time. The home's wellness area comes with a Finnish sauna and is set up for Chromotherapy. It’s a peaceful space that gives this home real wow-factor.  

Aside from the wellness room, there are plenty of other striking design choices that vie for your attention. We love the spiral staircase that leads to the mezzanine, as well as the bold lime-green and blue kitchen. The clever reinvention of the fireplace to hold an artfully arranged source of illumination adds warmth and is yet another talking point. What's perhaps most impressive is that this isn't all found within a newly built block of apartments, but is instead hidden away behind the walls of a fifteenth-century palazzo building. 

The palazzo is in a small square typical of this part of Italy, with a church and fountain. The town of Viterbo is lovely to stroll around with a gelato, and there’s lots of history to take in. The Palazzo dei Papi is just fourteen minutes away, and is the former seat of the papacy. When you’ve had your fill of history, hop in the car and drive seven minutes to the hot springs. Soak away your troubles before returning to the apartment for another evening of blissful R&R. 

Where else could you find a property that merges history, cutting-edge design and wellness like this?
