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.

Fenced Property

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.

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.

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.

Nice to haves

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.

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.

Access to Beach

Overlooking the waters of Porto Venere Harbour and just a flip-flop from a small beach, this traditional home is the perfect maritime retreat. You can watch all the nautical action unfold from your bougainvillea-clad balcony. Or take a ten-minute amble along the coast to the village’s history-rich centre – it’s been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site for good reason. While the coastal-themed interiors are charming, they will feel dated for some. The bedroom layouts are a little quirky, too, with the main bedroom sleeping three and the final single bed tucked away in the hallway. But we can let that slide for a home with such a one-of-a-kind setting.

Maritime Retreat

Pod Coffee Machine

Outdoor Pool

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

In the heart of Portovenere, this home's central location means you can drop your bags and stroll straight to the waterfront. Delicious Italian restaurants, historic landmarks, pebble beaches – whatever you fancy, exploring on foot is a breeze. It's certainly not the biggest apartment, but what it lacks in space it makes up for with the fantastic sea views from the balcony, stretching all the way to Palmaria Island – a must-visit while you're in town. Add in the ochre-hued, quintessentially Italian exterior and the other charming terraces, and you can see why it caught our eye.

Freckled Ochre

Private Washing Machine

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.

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

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.

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.

Waking Mountain

Rain Shower

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.

A beach lover's paradise, there are three to choose from in the nearby vicinity. We adored the convenience of stepping from the manicured lawn to the short six-minute walk to Bagni La Rotondo Beach. If you can drag yourself away from this nautical playground, then Genoa, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, is a twelve-minute car ride away.

Scirocco Breeze

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.

Opalescent Retreat

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.

Poolside Bellinis

Hammock

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.

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

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

Parking On Premises

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. 

Italian Lace

Balcony / Patio

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

Located in a beautiful area of Liguria, this charming villa offers stunning views of the surrounding hills. The property is surrounded by greenery and features a swimming pool, sun loungers and umbrellas, space for outdoor dining, both barbecue and gas cooker, wood-burning oven, children's play area and hot outdoor shower. 

Casa Aurora is perfect for families and groups of friends who want to enjoy a relaxing holiday in the Italian countryside. The villa is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a washing machine, drying rack, iron and ironing board. 

The property is located just a short drive from the beautiful towns of Camogli, San Fruttuoso and Portofino, and offers easy access to hiking, mountain biking and boating.

Casa Aurora

It will be hard to tear yourself away from the sea views at this hillside villa. Separated into the main villa and an annexe, this home used to be a traditional farmhouse and has been lovingly restored with modern amenities while retaining charming features like the exposed wooden beams, stone fireplace, and the original majolica tiles. The villa's gardens extend down the hillside, bordered by Mediterranean plants and herbs, ending in a swimming pool with views over the town. Relax in the shade of a tree with a book, before enjoying lunch on the outdoor terrace. Each of the bedrooms catches the Mediterranean light with their whitewashed walls, and one of the rooms even features an original fireplace. If you don't fancy trying the antique 'runfò Genovesi' (Genoese oven), the kitchen also features a gas cooker, oven, dishwasher, and fridge, and there's a barbecue for a good old-fashioned grill night. Don't leave without trying some of Recco's most famous delicacy, focaccia col formaggio – a delicious focaccia with local cheese. End your day on the balcony, a glass of Italian wine in hand, as the sun sets over the coast. 

Blue Blue Sea

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

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

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

Espresso Machine

Wine Cooler

Housed in a 19th-century farmhouse, this Tuscan home on the outskirts of Aulla is full of all the romance you’d expect from an Italian countryside getaway. Located in the hamlet of Tresana, lush, green hills surround this stone home, making it a rural oasis of calm and relaxation. Inside, exposed beams, tiled floors, and a brickwork arch give the duo of interconnecting living rooms a homely, traditional feel, while the modern kitchen is sure to inspire culinary feats, especially once you’ve attended a local cooking class. After a day of refreshing dips in the shared pool, exploring the grounds’ nature trails or taking a trip to La Spezia, an hour away by car, come home for a glass of wine on the patio before sitting down to a star-lit alfresco dinner. For a real treat, book a private chef to serve you an Italian feast or fire up the barbecue on more casual nights. When you're ready for bed, you’ll find two wonderfully comfortable beds to provide you with a peaceful night’s sleep.

Bella Campagna

Set amongst rolling Tuscan hills, it's not hard to see why this villa caught our attention. The gorgeous pool lets you unwind, while the al fresco dining area is the perfect way to combine the view, the weather, and the food – you can even book a private chef through your host. Inside, sofa beds around the home provide flexible sleeping arrangements, perfect for groups of friends. The three downstairs bedrooms boast kitchenettes, while the upstairs shares a large kitchen – it's easy to break off into groups and enjoy your own space here. For a day trip, take the 45-minute drive to Cinque Terre, a picturesque series of five seaside towns.

Tuscany Bloom

Cafetiere

Arrive at this impressive home, situated on a picturesque hill, and be instantly transported to another time. This country estate, surrounded by vineyards and rolling fields of greenery, is steeped in the rich history of the region. 

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. You’ll also have plenty of activities to enjoy out here: from a barbecue and outdoor dining area, perfect for those alfresco meals,  to a hot tub, outdoor shower and comfy sunloungers, dotted about under the ancient trees which on hot summer days offer glorious shade. 

Step through the front door to find a truly stunning, authentic interior: we love the brick walls, original wooden ceiling and floors, and countless quint details which add to the cosy ambience. You’ll find the space here more than generous – from the large dining room, where you can enjoy those delicious Italian feats, to the plush sofas and armchairs where you can snuggle up with a glass of wine for an evening of movies and conversation. 

Upstairs, you’ll enter into the world of sweet dreams, courtesy of the opulent, plush bedrooms, offering soft beds and those charming ceilings with wooden beams. Start your day rested and refreshed, sipping a cup of Italian espresso on the balcony, and taking in the instantly calming views. 

When you’re ready to go out and explore, the area has plenty in store for you: from wine tasting and vineyard touring, to visiting the historical monuments and charming streets of Asti, Casale Monferrato, Alba, La Morra and Barolo - all within easy reach by car. For a perfect day trip head to Savona and its gorgeous beaches, just a thirty-minute drive away.

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

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

This lovely waterfront apartment has wonderful Mediterranean Sea views from its small balcony (there’s room though for four guests on the comfy alfresco sofas). You can enjoy the vistas from the living space too. Out and about, you’re just a one-minute stroll from a rocky beach and a ten-minute walk from a sandy beach, while it's just 500 metres to beautiful Porto Venere and 13 kilometres to the port city of La Spezia. Or let your host organise excursions or a yacht trip.

The Green Indus

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.

Outlook Bay

Rustic and welcoming, this home stands amid woodlands in a secluded spot in Lunigiana. Its setting halfway between Cinque Terre and Versilia makes it an ideal base for days out. Though with views of the Apuan Alps and a private pool to enjoy, you might find that you don’t want to move an inch off the property. This home is spread between the main villa and a guest house, so it’s ideal for two families travelling together, or a group of friends. Each building has its own alfresco dining area, so there’s plenty of space to spread out. This is a traditional Tuscan home, so the decor won’t suit those seeking a sleek, modern look. 


Draw Me To The Village

Projector

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.
