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 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.

This bright and modern studio situated in the picturesque town of Lugano is a great place for a couple or a solo traveller to base themselves while they make the most of all that this beautiful Italian-speaking region of Switzerland has to offer. 

While the studio is compact in size, it has all the comforts to make your time a relaxing one – not to mention all the shared facilities which are definitely an added perk. Arrive to be greeted by a light-filled open-plan space, with a huge sofa which easily transforms into a plush double bed. There’s also a dining table for two, perfect for those romantic suppers which you’ll be able to easily rustle up in the well-equipped kitchen area. In case you don’t feel like cooking, there’s also a restaurant and bar downstairs. Later you may want to step outside onto the balcony and share some wine – this is also a great spot for a morning coffee with a view over the mountains. 

Outside you’ll be close to the vibrant Piazza Della Riforma, the heart of the city, which you can reach in twenty minutes by walking – the same amount of time it'll take you to get to the shores of the lake. You’ll also find a charming local farmers’ market offering the best fresh produce.

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.

The views of Lake Como from this home are simply gorgeous – we could sit on the balcony here gazing out over the gently rippling water to the mountains for hours. You can enjoy the incredible vistas from the terrace too, where you can relax on the sun loungers or dine alfresco. Whip up some tortelli di zucca in the sleek, dove grey kitchen for dinner. On chilly evenings gather around the fire or get some rest in the stylish bedrooms with their ornate wallpaper. 

Situated in Argegno, there are a range of eateries within a five-minute walk. Further afield, the alpine city of Lecco, with its splendid Basilica di San Nicolò, is eleven minutes in the car.

Watching The Boats Go By

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.

Inside, exposed stone walls lined with leather-bound books, an antique stove, and a kitchen carved from granite make the home feel like a place out of time. With its lakeside setting on a wooded hillside, there's definitely a 'Lord of the Rings' vibe about it.

Two double en-suite bedrooms continue the theme, with plenty of curios and trinkets lining the walls. Just choose between the lake view room, where you'll hear the sound of the waves lapping at the shore, or the forest view chamber that looks out through the laurel trees.

Wake up each morning and step straight out onto the balcony from the bedroom to sip your morning coffee and breathe in the fresh air. And, at the end of a long day, the sleek kitchen has everything you need to cook up some tasty dishes. 

The edge of the lake is just a twelve-minute walk from here – join the Lungolago di Lugano walking trail or hop on a boat to marvel at the landscapes from the water. You can take a dip at the Lido di Lugano on warm days, or stroll through the beautiful Parco Ciani to admire the manicured gardens. And, when you get hungry during your adventures, there are plenty of Swiss-Italian restaurants nearby where you can relax and refuel. 

Sweet & Serene

This stylish little apartment has everything you need for a break by the lake in Lugano.

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. 

Pistachio Gelato

Modern, bright and beautiful as it is, nothing's going to beat the outdoor area here. With ample seating, including an alfresco dining table under a flowering pergola, looking out over the glistening lake, you can see why this one made our collection. We also like the bathtub facing the door so you can even admire the views from inside. Because of the perched location of this home, you'll have to climb steps up to it, but it'll all be worth it for the breathtaking panorama of Lake Como. Speak to your host about boat trips, helicopter rides and more.

The Lake

If you’re seeking the kind of serenity that comes from enjoying far-reaching views across a glassy lake, this could be the home for you. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here, but it’s a cosy place for two. And, step out into the garden, and you can while away the hours drinking in the vistas over a bottle of wine. The kitchenette is ideal for basic food, but for a substantial meal full of authentic Italian flavours, head to one of the many local restaurants in Laglio for a dinner to remember.
