Cortina d'Ampezzo, Belluno

There are a lot of things we like about this lodge in the Alpine village of Cortina d'Amprezzo, but we'd be lying if we didn't single out the rather lovely view from the balcony as our standout highlight – from this spot, it's possible to gaze out over the locale's rooftops and dramatically beautiful mountains beyond. Back inside, the interior design is as rustic as you might imagine, with an abundance of wood in everything from the walls and floors to the furnishings and finishes.

Cervo, Imperia

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.
