Reside at this sumptuous family villa perched on the edge of the breathtaking Ligurian coast. 

Fire up the barbie and enjoy alfresco dinners on the patio or strike a pose on the lounger as the kids splash about in the salt-water swimming pool. We loved throwing open the French doors and drinking in the views of the glittering coastline.

Although the home is dedicated to alfresco living, you'll find the interior just as pleasing – there are five bedrooms to choose from, each one decorated in a soothing palette of neutrals. The home is divided into two individual apartments allowing for privacy whichever way you want to cut it. At dusk, when the winds whip up from the sea, step inside and snuggle by the fireplace and watch on as twinkling stars come out to play.

A beach lover's paradise, there are three to choose from in the nearby vicinity. We adored the convenience of stepping from the manicured lawn to the short six-minute walk to Bagni La Rotondo Beach. If you can drag yourself away from this nautical playground, then Genoa, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, is a twelve-minute car ride away.

It will be hard to tear yourself away from the sea views at this hillside villa. Separated into the main villa and an annexe, this home used to be a traditional farmhouse and has been lovingly restored with modern amenities while retaining charming features like the exposed wooden beams, stone fireplace, and the original majolica tiles. The villa's gardens extend down the hillside, bordered by Mediterranean plants and herbs, ending in a swimming pool with views over the town. Relax in the shade of a tree with a book, before enjoying lunch on the outdoor terrace. Each of the bedrooms catches the Mediterranean light with their whitewashed walls, and one of the rooms even features an original fireplace. If you don't fancy trying the antique 'runfò Genovesi' (Genoese oven), the kitchen also features a gas cooker, oven, dishwasher, and fridge, and there's a barbecue for a good old-fashioned grill night. Don't leave without trying some of Recco's most famous delicacy, focaccia col formaggio – a delicious focaccia with local cheese. End your day on the balcony, a glass of Italian wine in hand, as the sun sets over the coast.

This fairy tale tower is the perfect place for a unique, romantic getaway. Located in picturesque Porto Venere, you’ll have four floors to yourselves here, including a roof terrace with sea views. The stone tower, which dates back to 1161, boasts a marble dining table – perfect for pasta for two – a Jacuzzi bathtub, and a wine cellar. To make your stay even more special, your host provides breakfast and can help arrange a variety of treats, such as a private chef to cook for you at home. The tower is a destination in itself, but if you can tear yourselves away, you’ll find a pretty harbour, Medieval buildings, and a viewpoint overlooking the Ligurian Sea nearby.

Perched on a hilltop above Santa Margherita Ligure, this villa puts you on the route of the Cinque Terre – five towns that cluster rainbow-bright around coves and harbours. It’s a six-minute walk into the charming town centre for meals on the waterfront, just remember it’s a steep walk back up the hill. But the views are worth it – gaze out over the rooftops and shimmering sea from the sprawling terrace. It’s all about dining, reclining and unwinding in the pool or hot tub out here. Two kitchens (one indoors and one covered outdoors) will keep the chef of the group happy and sliding open the glass doors blends the terrace with the huge, open living room. 

The Hillside Garden

DVD Library

Deep within the green Ligurian hills behind the famous Cinque Terre (a 35-kilometre drive away), this villa offers an escape from it all. After exploring the surrounding scenery by bike or on foot, you can kick back by the poolside, play games on vast lawns or gather for alfresco feasts on the covered barbecue terrace. This place consists of two separate villas, each with its own open kitchen, living and dining room for social evenings together. The traditional feel of some of the furnishings and bathrooms won’t be for everyone, but the vast, manicured space outside makes up for it.

Relais Casa Clara

Located in a charming resort, this is a comfortable 18th-century residence renovated in 2014. The property offers two apartments and is situated in a pedestrian area just 6km from the sea. The apartment is a modern and stylishly furnished 2-room apartment on two levels. The lower level features one room with a French bed and a shower/WC, while the upper level offers an open living/sleeping room with one bed, a dining table, satellite TV, international TV channels, and heating stove. The kitchen is fully equipped with a mini-oven, dishwasher, 4 induction hot plates, and electric coffee machine. Other amenities include WiFi internet access, washing machine, children's high chair, and baby cot. Guests can enjoy the scenic view from the balcony which has outdoor furniture for relaxation. Visitors can also purchase farm products locally.

Ponder The Waves

Found in the small town of Cisano sul Neva, this home is ideal for those months when the temperature starts to rise. The interior feels cooling thanks to the tiling underfoot and the large doorways that let a breeze circulate inside when opened. There's also plenty of shade to be found even when the sun's at its highest — a covered terrace will play host to many a languorous lunch, while the flourishing garden offers plenty of secluded spots for an afternoon nap. That being said, there are enough perks inside the four walls if you're coming during the autumn and winter. An upright piano in the living room will keep musical guests occupied, while the hydro-massage bath requires no such talent to enjoy — just sit back and let the bubbles do their work. The local town and its pretty churches take fifteen minutes to reach on foot, while the seaside town of Albenga can be reached in the same amount of time in the car.

Stream of Consciousness

In the exclusive Portofino peninsula, this villa is a ten-minute walk from the harbour's designer shops and seafood restaurants. You'll have private access to the sea on a small rocky platform, and the large terrace is shaded by century-old wisteria with space for alfresco dining. Some of the decor is a little dated and won't be to everyone's taste, but all the bedrooms have lovely sea views. Parking is limited, and although the sea is on your doorstep, it's worth noting that the nearest beach is best reached by public transport.

Lonesome Voyage

Free Parking

With far-reaching views over the Ligurian Sea, this chic villa sits on a stunning stretch of coast named the Riviera dei Fiori. With its old ties to olive growth and coral fishing, you'll be staying three kilometres from ancient Cervo, where you can try local produce in the nearby restaurants. Alternatively, perhaps hiking along the trails at Parco comunale del Ciapà before a picturesque picnic is more your style.

One unique feature of this home is the private living space adjoining the main bedroom, so you can share a romantic breakfast for two each morning. Or, if you're all about spending quality time together, simply gather your loved ones out on the plant-filled terrace and make some memories. From lazy days to chatty nights, this outside area is where you'll plunge into your infinity pool and enjoy alfresco pasta dinners. After an adventurous road trip, just come into the cosy lounge and plan tomorrow's excursion over a glass of wine.

Refresh Me

Desk / Workplace

A location like this deserves a unique and truly magical home. Off the beaten track, a ten-minute drive from the coast at San Lorenzo al Mare and half an hour from Imperia, it's set in a picture-perfect rural hamlet on a hillside. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient olive groves, this place hasn't changed for centuries. In a building that dates from the 18th century, it actually comprises two apartments – a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom, set across four floors. Steep, narrow stairs lead up to the cool, whitewashed attic rooms or down to the converted cellars – bursting with character and authentic charm. The two flats have their own living spaces, and one boasts a small balcony while the other has a dining spot on a rooftop terrace. With hundreds of years of history in its walls, we love the rustic look of its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and bare stone walls. But that's not to say this place is all about the past. You just need to look in the modern, stainless steel kitchens and admire the mix of antiques and contemporary furniture to see this home has all the comforts of modern-day living. Head to the nearby natural pools of Laghetti di Pietrabruna for a wild swim, buy local farm produce or drive to the beach – the choice is yours.

Tourmaline Dream

Mosquito Net

This home has a particularly impressive location. It's nestled within not one, but two UNESCO World Heritage sites – the Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont and the Sacred Mountains of Piedmont and Lombardy. And, with 17 hectares of land surrounding the house, and several rare white truffle trees, there's no denying this is a special spot. 

Much of the house dates back to the 19th century, with an even older Medieval section inside, and there's a sense of history in every corner. However, that's not to say that it's old-fashioned – the host has carefully selected a fresh colour scheme and provided plenty of modern conveniences to enjoy. Fire up the coffee machine and sip your morning espresso on the balcony, before grabbing your book and picking a sun lounger to catch some rays. When the temperature rises, simply slip into the swimming pool and float under the blue sky, or head for some shade under the portico. 

Walkers will be delighted with the range of hiking trails throughout this region, which guarantee incredible views of the luscious landscape. Wine lovers are also well catered for, with several nearby vineyards where you can try the local vintages. There are several charming villages within driving distance, and if you're visiting during the right time of year then you might have the chance to join one of the region's most unique traditions – a truffle hunt. 

White Truffle Season

The property features three spacious double bedrooms and three bathrooms, ensuring ample space for everyone. 

Three Woolen Pillows

Wander a little off the beaten path from promenades lined with orange trees and stumble upon this villa that may as well be the setting for an Italian romance novel. Split across two separate buildings, you'll find elements of classic Italian fashion, while parquet and tiled flooring sprawls the home, giving it a palatial ambience fit for those with a knack for the classical. Vistas of the sea, countryside, and town set the backdrop for your days spent lazing between the pool, the wonderfully manicured gardens, and the shaded lunch terrace. Getting to Diano Marina beach is easy – in just a few moments, you can be putting your feet up on a clementine coloured sun lounger and taking shade from the hot sun beneath a green striped umbrella. In the region of Liguria, Diano Marina is exactly the laid-back atmosphere one dreams of when they think of summers on the Italian Riviera. 

City Of Orange Trees

Sometimes you want your holidays to be all about peace, quiet, and relaxation. This is the perfect home for that, far away from touristy hotspots, in a quiet rural location in Piedmont. You can live as the locals do here, and embrace the slower pace of life. 

This lovely home can be found just outside of Cortazzone, on a sunny hilltop. Drive five minutes into town to meander through the streets and grab a coffee in a cafe. Watch the world go by before picking up local produce for dinner and heading back to your home from home. 

Cook up a feast in the kitchen and dine together, then take a bottle of red out to the terrace. Sip wine as you watch the sun set over the meadows and vineyards that surround the home. If it turns chilly, move inside to sit by the fireplace – this is a home for simple pleasures. 

Though you’re nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle here, you’re not too far from the action. Turin is just a fifty-six-minute drive away, so you can easily get your fix of city life. Make a day of it, and spend your time strolling along the boulevards lined with baroque buildings, admiring the architecture, and sampling some of the world-famous cuisine.

Get away from it all at this charming villa in the Tuscan countryside. With tranquil views of the Apennine mountains from the garden’s shady seating area, we doubt you’ll even want to leave the grounds – but if you do, you’ll find Portofino, Pisa, and Florence all within driving distance. Unwind by the pool during the day and cosy up around the fire pit come evening, or curl up with a book in one of the bright living areas. If you find yourself a little too relaxed, you can always get the adrenaline pumping with nearby activities such as paragliding over the Cinque Terre, rock climbing at Via Ferrata, rafting and hiking. The home has been designed as a space to reconnect with nature, but fear not; there’s also wi-fi, a flat-screen TV and a wireless sound system to enjoy.

Overlooking the city of Imperia and the Liguria coast, this modern apartment is just the ticket for a carefree Italian getaway. The panoramic views are the star of the show here – the large windows in the living area face the sea and port, while the bedrooms look towards the mountains. And there's no better place to admire the views than the balcony, which features a dining table for alfresco meals and evening drinks while the sun goes down. But the scenery is not all we love about this home. The sleek interior is light, roomy and ultra-contemporary, yet it still feels like a cosy place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. Meander through the charming streets, dine at one of the seaside eateries or take a tour of Villa Grock, once home to the greatest clown (yes, clown) in Europe. Whatever you get up to, this apartment is the perfect base to take it all in.

Coastal Peaks

With its convenient location right in the city center, just 300 meters from the sandy beach of Borgo Marina, this seaside sanctuary is an ideal base for exploring Imperia. Experience the beauty and tranquility of the Ligurian coast at this charming coastal cottage.

Harbor Retreat

Balcony / Patio

Once belonging to a noble Piedmontese family, this 18th century villa is teeming with history while still feeling of the moment with its modern updates. With large, light-filled rooms and distinctive paned windows, we think you’ll be royally impressed by this traditional home’s interior. Full of cheery, bright colours, the rooms feel warm and full of sunlight, and fully stocked bookcases, an eclectic collection of artwork and antique furnishings will keep the eyes wandering over every nook and cranny. The sweet country-style kitchen with doors leading out to the front garden is a delight to cook and spend time in, and plush red sofas, a cosy fireplace and a huge glass-fronted bookcase will be a dream for any book lover. Outside, a covered veranda sets a picture-perfect scene for alfresco dining in the lush garden with a variety of plants and flowers and an inviting pool with Roman steps. Perfectly kept hedges keep the space feeling private and secluded, and the grounds stretching out over several hundred square metres is part of a landscape so beautiful it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Overlooking the waters of Porto Venere Harbour and just a flip-flop from a small beach, this traditional home is the perfect maritime retreat. You can watch all the nautical action unfold from your bougainvillea-clad balcony. Or take a ten-minute amble along the coast to the village’s history-rich centre – it’s been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site for good reason. While the coastal-themed interiors are charming, they will feel dated for some. The bedroom layouts are a little quirky, too, with the main bedroom sleeping three and the final single bed tucked away in the hallway. But we can let that slide for a home with such a one-of-a-kind setting.

Over the rolling hills of Monferrato, amidst vast Italian landscapes – resides a peaceful country hideaway boasting the most beautiful vistas of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Recently renovated, the home is a brand new barn conversion with its own spacious garden, swimming pool and outdoor lounge areas. The barn was designed to transition with the changing seasons in mind, and so feels light and airy during the warm summer months, yet warm and cosy come winter. Light up the log fire burner in the humble living room when it's cold and open up the floor-to-ceiling windows to let the fresh air in when it's hot. The open-plan living area will ensure a sociable stay from the inside, while the large terrace with a dining table and chairs serve perfectly for those long summer evenings of dining alfresco. There is also a relaxing corner under the pergola, where you can lounge around come day or night – it's the perfect spot to find some shade or watch the sunset. With Turin just an hours drive away, you're secluded and out of the action at this retreat in Sanico, however, feel rest assured that you're not too far away from the city's sights should you wish to explore further afield.

Wine Cooler

Housed in a 19th-century farmhouse, this Tuscan home on the outskirts of Aulla is full of all the romance you’d expect from an Italian countryside getaway. Located in the hamlet of Tresana, lush, green hills surround this stone home, making it a rural oasis of calm and relaxation. Inside, exposed beams, tiled floors, and a brickwork arch give the duo of interconnecting living rooms a homely, traditional feel, while the modern kitchen is sure to inspire culinary feats, especially once you’ve attended a local cooking class. After a day of refreshing dips in the shared pool, exploring the grounds’ nature trails or taking a trip to La Spezia, an hour away by car, come home for a glass of wine on the patio before sitting down to a star-lit alfresco dinner. For a real treat, book a private chef to serve you an Italian feast or fire up the barbecue on more casual nights. When you're ready for bed, you’ll find two wonderfully comfortable beds to provide you with a peaceful night’s sleep.

Take in breathtaking views over the property's park and distant vineyards from the large living room and bedroom windows; here, you'll see that Mother Nature works hard to stay vibrant, whatever the weather. From the games room to the home study, library and lounging areas, finding a quiet corner for taking precious moments of solitude or fun-filled socialising couldn't be easier. Meanwhile, with so many perching spots inside and out in the garden, you'll find plenty of opportunities to unplug, unwind and reconnect with nature. Outside, a stone walkway leads to a large lawn area with beautiful trees and flowers, providing the perfect setting for romantic alfresco meals and refreshments in the sunshine.

Casa Aurora

In the heart of Portovenere, this home's central location means you can drop your bags and stroll straight to the waterfront. Delicious Italian restaurants, historic landmarks, pebble beaches – whatever you fancy, exploring on foot is a breeze. It's certainly not the biggest apartment, but what it lacks in space it makes up for with the fantastic sea views from the balcony, stretching all the way to Palmaria Island – a must-visit while you're in town. Add in the ochre-hued, quintessentially Italian exterior and the other charming terraces, and you can see why it caught our eye.

Freckled Ochre

Heated Pool

Spend memorable summer days at this refurbished Italian farmhouse. It's uniquely split into separate suites, so it's ideal for big groups who want to maintain their own peace and quiet. Swim a few laps of the private pool in the morning, surrounded by the tall cypresses, colourful hedges and roses in the lush gardens. In the afternoon, have an alfresco lunch under the pergola in this fairytale setting, or head to the terrace for an even better vantage point. If you fancy a workout, there's even a pilates room, where you can work up a sweat, provided you arrange for an instructor to come along. The vineyard-covered hills above Canelli are renowned for producing world-class wine, and there’s no better time to sample a local vintage than when the sun starts to dip over Piedmont’s iconic hills. At night, unwind in the jacuzzi as stars fill the sky, before heading indoors to sleep soundly in one of the gorgeous wood-panelled bedrooms. We love the mix of rustic furnishings interspersed with modern kitchens and sleek bathrooms—you’ll be very comfortable here without sacrificing an iota of charm.

Sea & Stag

We love this coastal villa with its bold mix of classic Italian and Asian-influenced design. The living room has beautiful parquet flooring, polished to a high, mirror-like shine. Dotted around the space you’ll find a bright red lacquered chest and an intricate Chinese cabinet. The walls are decorated with Japanese fans, while a vibrant red feature wall lights up one end like the rising sun. Alongside these treasures sit classic Italian furniture and artworks – it shouldn’t work, but somehow it really does. Meanwhile, the kitchen feels 100% vintage Italian with copper pans lining the walls and retro coffee pots. The outside terrace has sweeping views of the coast and the shining sea beyond, and there’s a barbecue area with shady outside seating.
