This ground-floor hideaway is part of a beautifully restored Italian farmhouse. Designed with natural materials, it’s a cosy yet stylish base for couples or solo travellers. Our favourite spot? The private garden terrace, shaded by a wisteria-draped pergolas – perfect for tucking into breakfasts in the fresh air or enjoying an evening aperitivo as the sun sets. And with Bogogno Golf Club next door, Lago Maggiore a short drive away, and Malpensa Airport under 30 minutes, it’s a practical base to be at too.

This serviced studio is ideal for a romantic break or solo trip. Next to Bogogno Golf Club and just thirty minutes from Lake Maggiore or Malpensa Airport, it’s part of a renovated Italian farmhouse with plenty of character. Think rustic stone walls and terracotta floors. The space is cleverly designed, with a screened-off kitchen and big windows that open onto your own section of terrace beneath the wisteria. You can also make use of the shared gardens. Restaurants are a short walk away, and optional extras like breakfast or even a butler service can be arranged. It’s compact and there’s no sofa, but with so much to explore nearby, we doubt you'll want to lounge about anyway.

Views of Northern Italy's peaceful Lake Maggiore don't come much better than this. It's a scene best admired from the private balcony of this smart townhouse perched on the hillsides overlooking the Borromeo's islands. Inside, the newly refurbished, pared-back interiors are perfect for a fuss-free stay for two, and the pretty suntrap garden to soak up the Italian sunshine is a nice touch. You'll need a car here as it's pretty remote with no amenities to walk to – but don't let that put you off. Stresa's regal seafront promenade and cobbled streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.

This stylish little apartment has everything you need for a break by the lake in Lugano. A studio space, it’s ideal for a couple or solo traveller looking for a stylish bolthole in one of Switzerland’s prettiest towns. Stroll twenty minutes to reach the lake, sparking and inviting you for a dip in the summer months. Twenty-five minutes sees you at the pavement cafés and bars of Piazza della Riforma for aperitivo (this is a Swiss-Italian town). 

Back at the apartment building, head to the shared gym for a workout session, or perhaps catch up on work in one of the communal working spaces. Then retreat to the privacy of your apartment where a kitchenette provides the basics if you’re not dining out. Stone floors and a pistachio-green feature wall keep things characterful. When it’s time for your morning espresso, you’ll be glad of the private terrace just beyond the bedroom/living room.

This contemporary home was designed by a creative architect and features a large terrace stretching around half the apartment. Your host can provide free baby equipment and pets are welcome, making it an ideal choice for families. While there is the potential for some noise from other residents of the building, you'll have space to sit outside with an alfresco meal or drink and look out toward the glittering Lake Lugano. We think you'll want a car here for getting the most out of your stay, whether it's exploring the shops and fantastic restaurants or parking up and taking a scenic walk by the water.

The Emerald Fountain 

This little studio is in a great spot in Cressa. It's next to Bogogno Golf Club and only about half an hour from Lake Maggiore or the airport. You can walk to a few restaurants and bars, or head into Novara for a bit more buzz. Inside, the bedroom’s up on a mezzanine and there's a sofa bed downstairs, so it’s not the most private setup. It works well for a family or close friends, though. It's part of a renovated farmhouse, so you get loads of character, plus your own patio section and leafy gardens to share. You can even add breakfast, or go all out with a butler service.

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.

We were sold on those views of Lake Maggiore alone – and that was before we'd even clapped eyes on the panoramic sunny terrace and newly refurbished interiors of this townhouse. As we're finickity, the downstairs living space feels a little bijou, but with that covered panoramic balcony outside, we don't think you'll mind. And kids will love the novelty of the top-floor mezzanine bedroom with a TV den to spill out into. Perched amidst the hillsides, 700 metres above the lake, you're quietly removed from the bustle. But when it's time to dip your toes into lakeside living, Stresa's grand promenades and history-rich streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.

Follow the creative spirit through the pink inner patio and into the kitchen – this is a wonderful place to cook and socialise.

Spend slow days by the swimming pool, reading beneath the trees and enjoying long lunches on the terrace. 

It’s only a short walk from this home onto the main boulevard of the village where you can pick up any supplies. Or wind your way around the lake, stopping in a local cafe to admire the views.

You can stroll to local restaurants, and if you want to keep things simple, you can even add breakfast or go all in with butler service.

The Novara Place

Shared Pool

To say the views of Lake Como seen from this apartment are remarkable is an understatement. It’s a panorama best admired from the private wraparound balcony or the complex's shared poolside. Inside, the open-plan living and kitchen isn’t the most palatial, and that canary yellow bedroom might be too perky for some. That said, it’s all beautifully cared for and perfect for a small family sharing. Nestled in the quaint village of Perledo, you’ve got all of Lake Como’s best bits within easy reach, starting with Varenna, just a short drive away. Or hop on the nearby ferry to other hotspots including Lecco, Bergamo, and Milan.

Lake Como View

If you’re looking for a getaway near Lago Maggiore, this studio apartment next to Bogogno Golf Club might be the one. It’s part of a renovated farmhouse, so it’s full of character with stone walls and terracotta floors. At full capacity, two guests will share the sofa bed. However, the bedroom is screened off, which creates a sense of separation. The space opens onto your own section of terrace under a wisteria pergola, and there are shared gardens too. Restaurants are just a short walk away, and you can even add breakfast or a full butler service if you want to make things easy.

Serenity Serenade

Tailor-made for two, this chic apartment promises a relaxing stay in Como. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here, but you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Location-wise, you’re mere minutes from the historic city centre and Lake Como, so whether you’re sightseeing, shopping or planning a meal out, this home will tick all your boxes.

Part of a renovated traditional farmhouse, it's set within shared gardens, and you have your own covered section of patio. With a mezzanine bedroom and a sofa bed in the living area, the open design means it’s not perfect if you need complete privacy – and there's no door to the main bedroom.

Lake Como Hideaway

Originally a 17th-century convent, this home boasts a modern touch while still retaining a nod to its past. Consisting of three independent apartments, it’s an ideal base for an extended family or group of friends on an Italian getaway, with space to socialise together and privacy when needed. But the cherry on the cake? For us, it has to be the views over Lake Como. With each apartment boasting a private terrace, you can soak up the lake vistas wherever you are.
