Lonesome Voyage

• 10 guests

Portofino, Genoa

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.

The Hillside Garden

• 6 bedrooms

Santa Margherita Ligure, Genoa

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.

On the Emerald Coast

• 10 guests

• 5 bedrooms

Santa Margherita Ligure, Genoa

Tucked into tiered gardens overlooking the Ligurian Sea, this villa feels like a private slice of the Riviera. Grand in that unapologetically Italian way – all colourful tiles, rich fabrics, and natural light – the interiors are elegant yet homely.
