The Queen of Versailles

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. 


Teal Shutters

Looking for a tranquil escape amidst the beauty of the Italian countryside? We have the perfect place. Tinged with bright colours and exuding a sense of intimacy, this private retreat is tailored for romantic getaways.

It's hidden amongst the verdant forestry, away from the sounds of urban life and busy streets. Wake up and feel completely refreshed, ready for a relaxing day amongst the natural beauty of your surroundings.

Spend your days lazing around the garden, catching some gentle rays from the sun whilst you read a book. The shared terrace is a paradisal spot for sunrise or to settle down into the romance of sunset. Grab a bottle of wine from the local shop to enhance the magic of the moment.

If you're up for exploring a little further, the charming town of Cortazzone is just a three-minute drive away. Here, you'll find welcoming cafes and authentically Italian restaurants. Try the freshly-cooked pasta or pizza before wandering the town with gelato in hand.

The Softest Breeze

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

This large villa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your holiday with your family. The property has a swimming pool, a ping-pong table, a table soccer, a children's play area, a wood-burning pizza oven and a gas barbecue. The house has been renovated with a focus on sustainability, using only natural materials and products. It is located in the town of Monteu Roero, in the province of Cuneo, just 2 kilometers from the village, less than 20 kilometers from the towns of Alba and Bra, and 50 kilometers from Turin.

San Grato

Access to Beach

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.

Tennis Court

Over the truffle hills and far away rests this Monferrato villa, surrounded by the stunning Italian countryside, extensive vineyards and a treasure trove of truffles. Brimming with character and aesthetics, the villa's interior is just as charming. Warm colours are in keeping with the Monferrato landscape, and classic designs combined with modern elements create a truly magical space beyond the realms of the average norm. 

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. 

Outside, amid the 1-hectare park surrounding the villa, you'll also have access to the Club House. Here you'll find the swimming pool, a sauna, a grass tennis court (which can also be transformed into a five-a-side football pitch) and an abundance of open-air space for games, sports and activities. Just a few minutes from Fontanile, Mombaruzzo and Nizza Monferrato, enjoy the convenience of the local village amenities, shops and eateries – all within short driving distance. 

Over the Truffle Hills

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

Nice to haves

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

You'll find that there's an innate tranquillity to this home in the middle of the Piedmont countryside. How best to enjoy this peace and quiet? Well, the swimming pool will be the obvious choice during the warmer months, but there are plenty of equally pleasant spots out in the garden or under the pergola.

If the temperature ever takes a dip at any point, the table in the conservatory still gives you the opportunity to watch the world go by, while there's also an open-hearth fireplace to light up once the sun's gone down. This rather traditional source of warmth is in keeping with the home's rustic style, as seen with the exposed stonework and country-style kitchen.

Although you're more than welcome to never leave the address during your stay, the closest town, Vesime, takes five minutes to reach in the car and offers an outdoor swimming pool and a castle to explore. The city of Acqui Terme is half an hour's drive, too.

What The Heart Wants

Discover a true coastal haven at this stunning holiday rental in Imperia, Liguria. The small apartment block, surrounded by a planted inner courtyard and a peaceful garden, offers a truly tranquil atmosphere to unwind. Immerse yourself in the welcoming dining room with a bar and a modern open kitchen, fully equipped for culinary delights. Indulge in the comfortable living room with satellite TV or retreat to one of the two spacious, tastefully furnished bedrooms.

Experience the beauty and tranquility of the Ligurian coast at this charming coastal cottage.

Harbor Retreat

Escape to the enchanting world of the Enchanted Retreat, a comfortable and historic residence nestled in Torre Papone, Pietrabruna. This 18th-century property was tastefully renovated in 2014, offering a unique blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. Immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere and soak in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside from the terrace. The Enchanted Retreat features two well-appointed apartments, each exuding its own distinct character. Step inside to discover a stylishly furnished living space with carefully curated decor. Relax in the cozy bedrooms, featuring comfortable French beds and enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen. Whether you're seeking solace or adventure, this magical hideaway is the perfect base to explore the picturesque landscapes, sandy beaches, and charming villages nearby. Experience a truly unforgettable stay at the Enchanted Retreat.

Mystical Hideaway

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

This grand old villa has all the charm of yesteryear, plus a swimming pool practically grazing the treetops. Between Turin and Milan, in the Piedmont countryside, the grounds are flanked by hills and surrounded by forest. You can enjoy a quiet, rural location yet it’s just a fifteen-minute drive into the centre of Asti, known as the City of 100 towers in its medieval heart. Perhaps pick up a bottle of chilled, sparkling Asti and bring it back to enjoy on the terrace of your grand, Italian country home. There’s an outdoor dining table on the swimming pool terrace that overlooks the forest just begging for an evening tipple, or perhaps a barbecue dinner if you’ve been truffle hunting in the area. Inside, it’s the careful renovation of the home’s original features that really make this place stand out. Hand-painted frescoes on walls, corniced ceilings like the icing on a wedding cake and vintage mosaic tiles underfoot. Exposed brick in the kitchen gives a rustic feel, alongside the old hearth turned sink. On the first floor, a huge barn-like room with arched floor-to-ceiling windows looking over the forest is the perfect place for a family celebration. 

Vino Spumante

Lift Access

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

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

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.

A Royal Rose

Roughly hewn stone, exposed brickwork and tumbling terraces all give the impression this rambling rural retreat has been carved from the Ligurian hillside itself. If you’re looking for somewhere with character, this surely must be it. The layout is a little quirky — the only way to get upstairs is via a stone staircase outside the building — but this only adds to the charm of the place. Delightful stone archways reveal yet another hidden terrace or quiet nook to catch up on that holiday paperback, while grotto-like bathrooms and a cute mezzanine bedroom for the kids add a fairytale quality to the experience. Yet for all its tucked away spaces, this semi-detached home has plenty of opportunities for the more sociable among you. We can see the polished kitchen table becoming the hub of the house — somewhere to gather the grown-ups and bambini alike for a delicious Italian feast while you plan your next sun-soaked day in the hills. Then there’s the sun deck with its outdoor dining area and barbecue, not to mention the pretty garden with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside — best admired from a lounger with a cool glass in hand. Privacy, seclusion and utter relaxation is the order of the day here. Indulge in a lazy lie-in (the bedrooms are beautiful rustic affairs — think exposed wooden beams, ornate bedsteads and fluttering curtains). When the sun rises over the olive groves, dive into the private swimming pool and enjoy a moment while the kids burn off some energy in the playground or challenge each other to a game of table football. There’s a supermarket and restaurant within a few minutes drive, so you can stock up on supplies for your next pasta-based extravaganza. Or take a road trip to explore the surrounding area — it’s a short drive to the nearest town and you can be at the beach within half an hour. Our suitcases are packed already!

Even before entering, you’ll be embraced by the warm vibes of the house and its large garden, and the views of the countryside and the Castello di Frinco will take your breath away.

Welcome Hamper

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. 



Over the Rolling Hills

Surrounded by rolling meadows and snaking vineyards, this eclectic home with its Rococo-inspired living space and convenient modern additions ensures a memorable yet restful stay in the Asti countryside. You’ll begin warm mornings in the kitchen, putting together a breakfast platter as your loved ones await eagerly around the dining table. Then it’s all off to the communal pool for a splash about in the cool water followed by a coffee or two in the shade of the covered terrace. 

In the afternoon, jump in the car and take the five-minute drive to the charming town of Cortazzone or why not head over to Turin, less than an hour’s drive away – the superb cuisine, Baroque architecture, elegant-tree lined boulevards and gianduiotto chocolate shops guarantee a day well spent. 

Day by Day

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. The beautiful gardens that surround the villa, along with the outdoor swimming pool, are shared with a couple of neighbouring villas.

Konnichiwa Italia

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.

Wine Country Days

If you're looking to explore the captivating Tuscan town of Porto Ercole, this quaint two bedroom apartment offers comfort and convenience. While space is relatively limited, there's room for a bright and inviting living area, two private double rooms, a characterful blue kitchen, and a charming balcony ideal for serving up a homemade dinner. Porto Ercole itself is regarded as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy, while Porto Santo Stefano – the headland's other major settlement – is a twenty minute drive along the coast.

This countryside villa is only an hour and a half from Milan, but it feels a world away. Nestled within a private vineyard with uninterrupted views of the rolling hills – best enjoyed from the saltwater pool or over a long lunch beneath the pergola – it’s a true Italian pied-à-terre. Inside, it’s bright and homely, with terracotta-tiled floors, exposed beams and a sleek kitchen that opens straight onto the terrace. There’s no air conditioning, but the breeze is far more romantic. And no television – just the peace and charm of life off-grid. When you need supplies, shops and restaurants are only a short drive away.

Refined Country Chateau

Outdoor Kitchen

This renovated farmhouse caught our eye for its huge garden. Boasting a private pool, covered alfresco dining area, and outdoor hob and barbeque, outdoor living is easy here. The bedroom set up won’t suit everyone – at full occupancy three guests will be sleeping on sofa beds within two of the bedrooms – and the traditional decor won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but we think this home will suit a family or group of friends looking for a place with character. Location-wise, you’re a few minutes’ drive from the Royal Castle of Racconigi – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for daytrips, the city of Turin is thirty minutes away.

The Ancient Farmhouse

Foosball / Table Football

This restored 16th-century villa is full of history and character. Groups will have no shortage of space inside – there are two cosy lounges, a games room tucked under the stone arches, and a separate apartment ideal for guests wanting a bit more privacy. Outdoors, the sprawling garden beckons on a sunny day. Everyone will appreciate the private pool and valley views, while keen cooks can whip up something tasty to enjoy on one of the terraces. Location-wise, you'll be based in the scenic Monferrato hills. It's about an hour's drive from Milan and close to Alessandria and Asti – perfect for exploring.
