Floor-to-ceiling black-framed windows and a sensitive renovation have turned this 16th-century Umbrian dovecote tower into one of the region's smartest stays. Behind the stone tower, the jagged cliffs and town of Orvieto loom, while in front, the rolling hills stretch before you. Interiors meld old with new. Flagstone floors and antique furniture sit alongside steel ceiling pipes and geometric prints. As one would expect in a tower, there are several spiralling staircases – as well as gawp-worthy views. Push open the sliding doors in the grey, country-style kitchen and step out onto the terrace. A built-in barbecue and wrought-iron table overlook the Italian countryside, while a large vegetable garden and fruit trees provide the freshest ingredients. Continue down to find 1.5 hectares of garden with Etruscan origin and the swimming pool, which was once an agricultural fountain. Forget about any form of work, now all you have to worry about is which spot to pick around the water, with the rush of the nearby brook providing background music.

On A Wing & Prayer

On the island of Pantelleria, this traditional dammuso home is surrounded by olive groves, jasmine and vineyards, with views stretching across the Mediterranean to the Tunisian highlands. Inside, vaulted ceilings, handmade floors and a cosy fireplace mix old-world character with modern comforts like air conditioning. Step outside to the infinity pool, al fresco dining terraces and a wood-burning oven, perfect for laid-back meals under the stars. With its peaceful setting and easy access to local villages, it’s an authentic Sicilian retreat made for slowing down.

The Volcanic Estate

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

Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Valpolicella, this home makes the perfect setting for an adults only escape. Slow down and savour blissful days by the communal swimming pool. There’s also a peaceful terrace with a barbecue for alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms have been thoughtfully designed to inspire instant relaxation. There’s plenty of space for socialising and all of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms for optimum privacy. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short drive to Lake Garda and Verona. Plus, the Adige River is just a short walk away. 

River of Grace

Situated in a hilltop village, this home offers panoramic views from the terrace. The plunge pool is ideal for cooling off after relaxing in the sun, and you’ve got a choice of alfresco tables where you can enjoy your morning espresso. When it comes to mealtimes, the kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare family favourites, and if you want a break from cooking, the local trattoria can deliver. Hikers and cyclists will appreciate the UNESCO heritage walkway, which is on the doorstep. And for day trips, the bustling spa town of Acqui Terme is a fifteen-minute drive away.

Gourmet's Delight

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

For a truly remarkable getaway, escape to this stately home steeped in history in the charming Italian village of Cison di Valmarino, just an hour from gorgeous Venice. 

Originating in the 15th century, the house has been restored as a home away from home for those who wish to savour the best that Veneto has to offer. Spend your days relaxing by the glorious pool, admiring the rose garden from the newly restored portico, and dining alfresco under the chestnut tree in the garden. 

What better than to share paradise with loved ones? One of the two designer kitchens can host a gorgeous banquet for up to 50 guests, and you don’t have to lift a finger here – the butler and his wife will cook and attend to all your needs.

Landscapes rich in natural beauty are on your doorstep to explore. The valley is at the heart of the most famous cycling area in Italy, while magnificent skiing in the Dolomites is just over an hour away.

Foodies rejoice – this region is abundant in fine produce, not least with some of the best prosecco producers being mere minutes away by car. Visits to gorgeous nearby fish, vegetable and cheese markets can all be organised and thanks to the area's reputation for outstanding food culture, many first-class restaurants can be found just a few kilometres away.

Brandolini Palace 

Head into the Tuscan hills just outside the charming village of Cellai and keep an eye out for an imposing villa with its own bell tower. Almost unbelievably, this stunning property will be your home from home for however long you decide to stay.

Step inside your apartment, and you'll discover a typically Tuscan scene, with tiled terracotta floors, exposed wooden ceilings and frescoes painted directly on the walls. Four individually decorated bedrooms, each as enchanting as the last, will serve as your soothing sanctuaries for you to unwind at the end of each day. The spacious interior includes not one but two seating areas, so you can always claim a secluded spot as your own for the afternoon if you want to get lost in the pages of a good book. Meanwhile, the kitchen and dining area are perfect for sociable meals with family and friends in true Italian style. 

Outside in the shared garden, you'll find yourself surrounded by pristine landscaped gardens with a vine-covered pergola, terraced seating and perhaps most importantly, a pool. 

Start each day by visiting Forno La Chiocciola, where you can stock up on fresh bread, including Florentine speciality flatbread, schiaccata. Then, when you're not laying out on poolside loungers and sipping wine in the sun, the stunning Renaissance city of Florence is less than half an hour away. Why not get to know the artistic, architectural and cultural history of Tuscany, spending an afternoon or three wandering its streets and taking it all in. 


The Legendary Giulia

Set on the banks of Lake Garda, this villa is as close to the water as you can get. And there’s no better place to soak up the views than from the private pool or on the dining terrace. Inside, a family or group of friends have plenty of space to spread out, and the kitchen is well-appointed for those who like to cook. While the bedrooms are comfortable, it’s worth noting there aren’t any bedside tables or reading lights. Keen to explore? The charming town of Lazise is a short drive away. 

Glorious Garda

Set in the heart of Syracuse on the island of Sicily, this charming apartment is ideal for business travellers, solo adventurers, and couples seeking a slice of paradise. With a private balcony overlooking the water, easy access to a nearby beach, two bikes available for your use, and countless top sights just a stone’s throw away, it’s easy to see why this home caught our attention. Set across two levels and located in a building that dates back to the 1890s, it offers an effortless blend of rustic charm and contemporary interiors. All things considered, it’s no surprise this little gem was featured in the American interior design magazine, Apartment Therapy.



Salty Citrus

This stunning home is situated between the sea and the woods, in a tranquil spot on the island of Ischia. Drink in sea views and vistas of San Francesco Bay, Forio, and Ventotene from the sun loungers, the alfresco dining area, and the other pretty corners of the garden. There’s a Jacuzzi with sea views on the upper terrace, and a path leads directly to the sea. The villa is cheerful and pretty, with splashes of blue bringing the sea inside. 

Ischian Idyll

Surrounded by olive groves and ancient woods, this traditional farmhouse welcomes you to an authentic stay in the heart of Tuscany. 

Located on Pomaio hill with sweeping views across the countryside, this is a wonderful setting to retreat into the heart of nature. And from the moment you arrive, you’ll want to savour the rustic simplicity and charm of this home – it’s the perfect place to connect with the timeless beauty of Italy. 

Families and friends will love gathering here – the communal spaces feel warm and intimate, inviting you to slow down and enjoy quality time together. And whether you’re drinking your morning coffee in the garden, swimming in the pool or cooking in the cosy kitchen, this is the kind of home that enriches daily living. 

Outside, follow the garden path out into the surrounding countryside for an inspiring stroll, or make the short drive into the majestic city of Arezzo – just ten–minutes away. Whether you’re admiring 15th century frescoes and abbeys, or olive trees and vineyards, this home is the perfect setting to celebrate the authentic taste of Tuscany.
