What this home may lack in style, it makes up for in location. Nestled in the hills of Moneglia, it commands views across the bay and is well-connected by train to Genoa and the coastal villages of the Cinque Terre. Admire the views from a lounger on the terrace, or head down to the pool, which stays relatively shady and cool thanks to the surrounding trees. The furnishings are a little dated, but at least there are sea views in the upper bedrooms, while the large sliding glass doors mean you're never far away from a sunny seat. Plus, the glass dining table comfortably seats your entire group, so you can also enjoy meals together – that's if you don't wander into Moneglia to try one of the restaurants on the palm-tree-lined streets.

This home caught our eye for its sea views across the Gulf of Tigullio. And even when you’re indoors, you can still enjoy the water vistas from the living area and some of the bedrooms. We love the outdoor space here, which is well set up for lazy days by the pool and alfresco dining. Hikers will be pleased to hear that there are coastal walks aplenty nearby, and for days at the beach, you’ll find a choice of seaside towns within driving distance. We think this home provides the perfect backdrop for a peaceful getaway with family or friends.

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.

Located just a short walk from the centre of Florence, this Santa Maria Novella ticks all the important boxes for us, making it a functional base for city exploring. The fully equipped kitchen and large dining table let you enjoy a hearty breakfast before you head into town, and we like that the home gets plenty of natural light – always a nice way to start the day. When you want to explore, you'll find Strozzi Palace close by, as well as Florence Santa Maria Novella station, connecting you to the rest of Tuscany and beyond.

Florence Charmer

Situated in the hills of the Province of Parma, this historic home is an idyllic spot for nature lovers looking for relaxation. There’s a private swimming pool among the fruit trees and a large patio terrace featuring a dining table and outdoor lounge, where you can spend lazy afternoons with a spritz and a good book. Meanwhile, the interiors blend original features with modern home comforts. Although the decor feels dated in places and may not be to everyone's taste, the style is in keeping with the area’s rich heritage.

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.

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.

This sleek and modern stonehouse is perched on the hillside of Corniglia, one of the Cinque Terre localities. Surrounded by a thousand square metres of olive trees, lemon, and orange groves, it offers panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea below. Spend your days exploring coastal trails, charming Cinque Terre villages, and sandy beaches. In the evening, fire up the barbecue for dinner in the outdoor kitchen and dining area, or stroll into Corniglia to sample local dishes at one of its excellent restaurants, just a short walk up the hillside.

There's nothing like a private pool to get you into that holiday spirit and at this home in Marina di Pietrasanta, you'll also have the sandy beach just a short walk away. A charming seaside resort with plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy, you'll have local parks to explore, numerous beaches to play on and surrounding villages to seek out – as well as the big attractions of Lucca (around forty minutes by car) and Pisa (around fifty).

Surrounded by a pretty garden, with high hedging for privacy and comfy outdoor seating spots, this home is a stylish choice for a family or small group of friends. Set in a quiet residential area, it's a dreamy escape from reality, with relaxing shades of white and grey, along with farmhouse styling. We love the romantic bedrooms and the delightful covered terrace – perfect for barbecues after a day on the beach.

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.

Giardino Rilassante

Pool / Snooker Table

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. Most rooms open directly onto the outdoors, with the main bedroom boasting not one but two terraces. There’s a conservatory turned games room and an outdoor kitchen made for easy alfresco meals. You won’t want to leave — and why would you, when there’s even a housekeeper on hand to attend to your needs? But if you must, the beach is just a stroll away, and Rapallo’s colourful streets are within easy reach by car.

On the Emerald Coast

Private Dryer

Heated Pool

This villa is a dreamy destination for an idyllic holiday on the Italian Riviera. Nestled on a lush hillside overlooking the bay of San Michele di Pagana, it has a picturesque pool, stunning sea views from almost every angle, and plenty of space inside to make yourself comfy. We especially love the balconies off the bedrooms, where you can wake up to the sight and sound of the sun-kissed waves. All this, and it’s also walking distance to the beach, as well as shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. Day trips to Portofino (for designer shopping and yacht-spotting) and Genoa (for sightseeing in the Old City) are easy too.

A Seaside Getaway

Juicer

Fenced Property

With some of Tuscany's best views, it would be easy to overlook the stunning features of the villa itself – but this home is no one-trick pony. The exterior of this spot is unforgettable, from splashing in the outdoor pool to dinner on the patio as the sun sets. With traditional features and sharp design, there's an understated elegance to the interiors. Backlighting warms the brickwork and wooden beams of traditional rooms, while Perspex furniture and pops of modern art add a sense of fun. Bedrooms are similarly as subtle, with muted stencil prints, arched wooden ceilings, and a mix of antique and modern furnishings – though all share the same stellar views through shuttered windows. 

Larks Rising

This charming villa will wrap you up in Italian charm, whether you’re staying on holiday or using the home for a wedding or special event. With views of Tabiano Castle and the surrounding countryside, the generous gardens offer the perfect place to soak up the sun, while dining alfresco is a must with a barbecue and pizza oven. With its enviable location, you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking and horse riding nearby, along with the beautiful cities of Salsomaggiore Terme, Fidenza, Parma and Piacenza.

The Gem of Emilia

Nestled in the hills of Garfagnana, this home has tranquillity running through its core. Made up of the main villa and a separate annexe, it’s an ideal base for groups who like to holiday together, yet still enjoy some private time. With traditional Tuscan interiors, it’s a real home-away-from-home, but the star of the show is the outdoor space. With a private pool, multiple seating spots, and far-reaching views, it’s just the ticket for those wanting to make the most of the sunny Mediterranean weather.

This stunning holiday home is perfectly positioned in Lido di Camaiore, just moments from the beach. It’s an attractive, modern home-from-home, beautifully decorated in peaceful neutral tones. We love how bright and welcoming this contemporary home is, despite the elegance. Outside, the garden is framed by hedges and palm trees, making it a pretty oasis. Best of all, there’s a Jacuzzi to relax in. There’s also an alfresco dining space – what could be better than dining under the stars before a dip in the Jacuzzi?

Herb Garden

Just a short stroll from the seafront, this apartment opens its doors to a refreshing Italian getaway. From here, you can walk to the nearest beach, shops and restaurants, while Tuscany’s beautiful countryside is also within easy driving distance. Wherever the day takes you, this home provides the ideal spot to switch off and share quality time together. Spread across two floors, the rooms are simple, fresh and family-friendly. There is also a garden with a barbecue and outdoor seating – perfect for evening drinks and alfresco dining. 


Sea of Calm

Lift Access

Ensconced within a beautiful building dating back to the 1800s, this chic apartment seamlessly blends traditional with contemporary. It’s an ideal base for those seeking a stay near the sea, which you’ll see twinkling between the neighbouring buildings from the terrace. Speaking of which, the terrace is what caught our eye most about this home. It’s a generous size, just the spot for alfresco meals or simply soaking up the Tuscan sun with a good book in hand. Location-wise, the beach is a mere hop, skip and jump away, so if the sun gets a little much, you can cool off in the sea in no time. 

Golden Buzz

Nestled in the beautiful town of Lido di Camaiore, this contemporary apartment is an ideal base for friends or family seeking a seaside stay. We love how light and bright this home is, and the balcony is a delightful sunny spot for an alfresco breakfast or evening aperitifs as the sun sets. Location-wise, you’re in for a treat. A mere four-minute stroll from the beach, you can splash in the sea, walk along the promenade, or indulge in delicious local cuisine in no time. 

The Seaside Sanctuary

Only a 100-metre stroll from Marina di Pietrasanta's beach, this villa is made for coastal-loving families. With the sea in walking distance and cities like Pisa and Lucca not far by car, we reckon most of your time will be spent exploring. But, if you're keen to enjoy a more relaxed pace, there's plenty to appreciate back home, too. The private terrace and small garden are perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine in the fresh air. Indoors, there's a cosy living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and three comfortable bedrooms – although air conditioning is only available in the hallway. We think it makes a great option for a Tuscan seaside retreat.

Dawn of Summer

Enjoy an idyllic Italian getaway at this gorgeous traditional villa, providing glorious views of the Gulf of Poets and the leafy Ligurian countryside. Sitting up on an elevated position just outside La Spezia, and surrounded by olive groves, this home is the perfect peaceful retreat for when you want to explore the hills and valleys of rural Italy.

Inside, you'll find beautiful farmhouse interiors that have an almost fairytale feel, with original features that have been recently restored, along with exposed stone walls, wood beam ceilings and grand brick archways. The kitchen area is great for cooking up all your favourite meals during your stay, with a dining set where you can tuck in with family and friends.

You'll be utterly charmed by the outside areas, too – there's a private pool here that's surrounded by sun loungers, so you can spend the day alternating between soaking up the sunshine and cooling off in the water. There's also a covered terrace here, with a lounge area for resting with your morning coffee as you watch the sunrise, and a dining table for sipping on bellinis as you watch the sunset.

Rooftop Terrace

Welcome Hamper

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.

Tower Retreat

This apartment is just 300 metres from the beach in Viareggio. So you only need to walk five minutes to bag a lounger on the sand and spend the day paddling in the Ligurian Sea. It’s easy to pop back to the apartment for forgotten towels. Within the charming Liberty-style streets around you, there are myriad pizzerias and seafood restaurants for dining and cafes for espresso in the morning.

The apartment itself is an ideal city bolthole. Intricately carved teak furniture gives the open living room a Balinese calm feel and floor-to-ceiling corner windows keep things feeling light. The kitchen is sleek and modern, tucked away at the back and you can choose between the breakfast bar or dining table to uncork a bottle of local Sangiovese for social evenings in. We love the bedroom with the powder-blue feature wall and art nouveau paintings. 

Ligurian Blue

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

Hammock

This elegant villa is a peaceful retreat tucked away in Tuscany's seaside town of Forte dei Marmi. Surrounded by lush gardens and shaded terraces, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the beach. Start your morning with coffee under the colourful bougainvillea, then spend lazy afternoons in the hammock or cycling to the sea. Inside, the home is light-filled and refined, with natural stone floors, stylish touches, and space to gather or retreat. The kitchen is sociable and well-equipped, and each bedroom offers cool comfort and a sense of ease. With quiet corners for reading, sunny spots for lounging, and space to gather with loved ones, it's ideal for an effortless escape to the coast.

Bougainvillea Terrace

Surrounded by Tuscan countryside, this home has a private swimming pool, open all year round, set in a garden fringed by bamboo. There’s a large, shaded dining terrace to enjoy the warm Italian summers as well. Inside, this traditionally styled, three-storey house has plenty of room for family and friends with a living area and sitting room. Situated just 1 kilometre from Camaiore, there’s plenty to see and do. Or visit the medieval city of Lucca, around a thirty-minute drive away.


Emerald Forest

Moments from the beaches of Viareggio, this home opens its doors to a laidback coastal escape. You can stroll to local bars, pizzerias, bakeries and shops. Plus, it’s just a ten-minute walk to the train station – making it easy to connect with beautiful cities like Lucca, Pisa and Florence. Wherever the day takes you, this home has been thoughtfully designed to bring ease and comfort to your stay. There’s a terrace for evening drinks and the rooms are well suited to families with space to stretch out and unwind.  


Acquamarina

Located in the secluded countryside, halfway between Lucca and the beaches of Versili, this renovated Tuscan farmhouse is the ultimate Italian retreat. Situated on a hilltop, views are in abundance. The decor is rustic and charming, and there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor communal space for entertaining. The private pool is perfect for those hot balmy days, and the balcony is a nice touch too. We’re particularly fond of the covered outdoor dining area – ideal for long dinners late into the night. If you’re looking to explore further afield, the medieval town of Lucca is a short drive away. 

Campari & Olive

Playground

Tucked away in the Ligurian countryside that borders Tuscany, this home will scratch that itch for a rural Italian escape. This rustic villa has gorgeous gardens and a pool that looks out over the Apuan Alps and the surrounding forest, and is in a great spot for hiking and cycling. Though the decor won't be to everyone's taste, with a main house and a separate guest house, it’s an excellent choice for a couple of families looking to holiday together without crowding each other. There’s even a swing and slide, so little ones can tire themselves out while the grown-ups relax. 

Mountain & Forest

Exercise Equipment

This charming villa blends classic Tuscan-Versilian style with modern touches. Set in the chic coastal town of Forte dei Marmi, it's ideal for groups wanting to spread out in comfort. Outside, you’ll find a landscaped garden dotted with valuable sculptures, and a shimmering pool. The two upper terraces offer the perfect spot for taking in the views of the Apuan Alps with a coffee or enjoying wine under the stars. Inside, there’s room for everyone to unwind, with a basement level that adds an extra living and dining space, a kitchen, guest bathroom, laundry and even a small gym. The beach, restaurants, bars and supermarkets are a short stroll away, and a car makes exploring further a breeze. This is la dolce vita at its best.

Spend the day on beautiful Viareggio Beach, just a one-minute stroll from this stylish apartment. Or, head to the Villa Paolina Civic Museums, which include museums of musical instruments and archaeology (just over twenty-five minutes on foot). Then at sunset, go for a passeggiata along the promenade – bliss. You’ll find plenty of trendy cafes, bars, restaurants and beach clubs nearby too. If you fancy exploring further – Lucca and Pisa are around a thirty-minute drive away. Back at this home, relax on the balcony overlooking the communal gardens with a Prosecco. Inside, colourful velvets add a luxurious touch, while large French doors flood the dining room with light – enjoy some spaghetti alle vongole at the table here or unwind on the chaise sofa. We love the nod to this home’s coastal setting too, with its seashell prints and coral ornaments dotted around. Later get some rest in the plush bedroom before starting another idyllic day on this gorgeous slice of Tuscan coastline.

Perfect Passeggiata

This historic villa and its sprawling grounds look out over the rolling Tuscan hills. In fact, the villa was once owned by a noble family from Lucca, and its opulent history is still evident in the home's period features. Admire the original beamed ceilings on the ground floor, and unwind in the elegant living room in front of the fireplace. Upstairs, antique furnishings adorn the bedrooms, and windows look out over the beautiful gardens. We think the lovely outdoor space is where you'll spend most of your time, either relaxing with a drink under the shade of the olive trees or swimming in the pool. As evening approaches, light the candles and enjoy a barbecue with a glass of local wine. The tree-lined roads surrounding the property are the perfect place for a morning run, and it's only a ten-minute stroll to the local village, where you can enjoy a meal in the medieval square. There's so much more to explore a short drive away, too – venture to the coast and relax on the beach at Viareggio (a twenty-two-minute ride), or wander the Renaissance-era city walls of Lucca, a thirty-minute drive away. 

Noble Hills

While externally this villa might seem like an ancient 17th-century farmhouse, inside there is a wealth of modern features. The panoramic terrace has unbeatable views across the green valleys of Tuscany, and you might even be able to spy the city of Lucca hiding in the valley. This is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast each morning, breathing in the scent of the mulberry and fig trees that grow in the garden. Inside, original wooden beams adorn the ceilings in the living room and dining space, where you can unwind in the evening. Aspiring chefs will relish the professional kitchen; book a cooking class – featuring ingredients from the garden – to better discover the flavours of this area. The tree-lined roads in Fibbialla are begging to be explored on foot, but you might also take the 25-minute drive into Lucca to explore its historic streets and museums. The beach in Viareggio is also just 30 minutes away, meaning there's plenty of choice for a day trip. In the evening, choose between lighting up the wood-fired pizza oven or the barbecue, and dine outside as the sun sets over the hills, a glass of local wine in hand.

Terracotta Canopy

Whether it's the bright blue walls, the glimmering block wall prints, or the pops of turquoise furniture, there's something very cheerful about this home. Patterns and bursts of colour have been used to create a bright, sunny stay, from the flower-tiled bathroom to the toucan door handle. Set in the seaside town of Viareggio, this home is only 700 metres away from the beach – on a walk that passes by delicious Italian restaurants and gelato shops, ideal for en-route pitstops. If you're in the mood to whip up your own feast, the modern kitchen will serve you well, while the large dining table in the living area is perfect for group get-togethers and celebrating special occasions. When the sun is shining you'll find yourselves out in the walled courtyard, with its leafy plants, grey seats and outdoor dining area – perfect for hearty alfresco lunches. 

Nemo's Hideaway

Set among the hills of Montebello, this country house allows you to immerse yourself in Tuscan living. The winding, steep road to reach this home rewards you with views of lush olive trees and the sea in the distance. Relax in the private pool or one of the hot tubs or dine alfresco on the veranda. The home is split between the main house and two separate bedroom annexes with their own entrances. So, this place is perfect for friends or family that like some private space. When you want to explore the area, the town of Camaiore is under 2 kilometres away, while Viareggio Beach is around 10 kilometres from this home.

Tuscan Vista

Perched on a hill in the old village of Pedona, this home is set between the mountains and the sea. Rustic and enchanting, you won't find any swimming pools or hot tubs here, instead ancient oak beams and flagstone floors cradle a home that looks untouched since the turn of the last century. Though it has of course been updated for modern comfort, the atmosphere remains about as authentic as you can get. Whether you’re gathering for family dinner around the vintage table, snoozing in the small garden, or gazing out at the sea views in the distance, this home is a real departure from modern life and a much-needed revert to la dolce vita. From here, it's just a twelve-minute drive to the beautiful city of Camaiore, or head in the opposite direction to get to the beach at Viareggio in around the same time.

Right in the lap of the rolling hills of Tuscany and Liguria, every waking moment at this home is set against surreal views. Tucked away and surrounded by lush greens, it is impossible not to embark on the idle biking trails to neighbouring villages before settling in for a long dip in the pool. The home is finished in well preserved natural stones and woods and the lofty volumes are fitted with modern comforts. And after you're back from a day of fresh seafood and sun bathing at Cinque Terre or Gulf of Poets, bond over board games or a session of table tennis. Before you retire to bed, it's worth checking out the library of movies and books and of course, having a go at the PS4.
