Set less than one hundred metres from Ceglie Messapica's bustling pedestrianised hub and just an easy drive from the coast and Ostuni, the location of this apartment is spot-on. While the period home's vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework are impressive, there are a few compromises to make. Expect a small kitchenette that's better suited to lighter bites rather than large slap-up meals, and there's no outdoor space to speak of. But for a bolthole this characterful, we can forgive that.

Grab an authentic taste of Sardinia life with a stay at this contemporary home perched along the seafront of the bustling port town of Olbia. Its central location, set close to the town’s historic centre crammed with wine bars and a restaurant-lined plaza, will come in handy as there’s no kitchen at this home. It’s also worth noting there’s no living space to speak of. But with an impressive private balcony overlooking the island of Tavolara and the Gulf of Olbia for morning coffees and evening drinks, we don’t think you’ll mind.

Housed in a residential building, this sleek room offers a convenient hotel alternative for solo travellers or couples, equipped with everything needed for a fuss-free stay. Location-wise, you're in the heart of Sorrento, just a short walk from the beach. You'll also be within easy reach of the port, with restaurants and bars on your doorstep – handy, as this pad doesn't come with a kitchen. The interiors are a little basic for our liking, but it's modern and there's a dedicated workspace. Plus, the freestanding tub is the perfect place to relax after busy days spent travelling.

Located just a short walk from the centre of Florence, this Santa Maria Novella ticks all the important boxes for us, making it a functional base for city exploring. The fully equipped kitchen and large dining table let you enjoy a hearty breakfast before you head into town, and we like that the home gets plenty of natural light – always a nice way to start the day. When you want to explore, you'll find Strozzi Palace close by, as well as Florence Santa Maria Novella station, connecting you to the rest of Tuscany and beyond.

In the heart of Sorrento's historic centre, this elegant apartment promises a memorable stay for a family or group of friends. We love the vibrant colours dashed around this apartment, but the cherry on the cake for us is the outdoor space. While away the hours on the private terrace, whether it’s an alfresco meal with loved ones, or simply relaxing with a good book and glass of wine. Location-wise, you’ll find yourself within walking distance of local restaurants, bars, shops, and beaches, making this apartment the ideal base for exploring all that Sorrento has to offer.

Tucked among olive groves in the heart of Val di Noto, this soulful countryside retreat is filled with timeless Sicilian charm. Classic furnishings, sun-drenched courtyards, and a tranquil pool invite slow days and alfresco moments. Wander through orchards, sip aperitifs at golden hour, and let nature set the pace. The interiors are relaxed and characterful – a little worn in places perhaps, but full of warmth and personality. It’s the kind of place that feels instantly familiar. Rustic, beautiful, and deeply restful.

Perched above the Adriatic, this charming oasis blends natural beauty with laid-back elegance. Wake to sunrise over the sea, unwind by the pool at sunset, and breathe in the scent of wildflowers on the breeze. Surrounded by private gardens and the serene Monte San Bartolo park, it’s the perfect escape into nature. The vibe is relaxed, the views are endless, and the experience will be truly unforgettable. You’ll need a car to get around, but the spectacular vistas and secluded setting make it more than worth the drive. This is a place to slow down, savour the moment, and soak up the scenery.

Access to Beach

With two terraces overlooking the bay of Portu Frailis, this home calls for a relaxing coastal getaway. From here, you can admire the views and then take the short stroll down to the beach where you’ll also find a small selection of restaurants. You will need a car if you’d like to explore further afield, but there is free private parking. It’s also worth noting there’s no lift access here and that while some of the furniture is a little dated, the apartment has been recently renovated. However, we think most of your time will be spent outdoors – taking advantage of this great location. 

Silky Sea

Resort Access

Designed by a well-respected 20th-century architect, this two-storey home on the Sirmio peninsula plants you onto sprawling lands that stretch out to a beach on Lake Garda. With stunning balcony views accessible to all the bedrooms and spots for alfresco dining, the outdoor areas are a big draw here, but the inside is a treat too. We were especially fond of the atmospheric study and elegant living room, both ideal spots for nightcaps. And despite the seemingly secluded location, you're not far from eateries, cafes, and historical sites here – and you won't want to miss the chance to take a boat trip on the lake. 

The Golden Gardens

Designed by architect Cini Boeri, this wonderfully unique home in Sardinia is tilted forward to better show off the panoramic views of its incredible surroundings. Created to make the most of indoor-outdoor living, it's also cleverly constructed to keep the south-facing areas cool and shaded, shielding your from the heat of the Sardinian sun. While the stark grey facade and sharply angled lines make a breathtaking first impression, we think the interiors speak for themselves too. We love how the architect decided to show off the incredible landscape of La Maddalena by creating a picture frame out of every window – each one set at the exact right height to maximise the impact. There’s even a telescope in the study so you can explore the area from the comfort of your own home, or go full Rear Window and see what your neighbours are up to down in the harbour. The muted grey tones of the exterior are mirrored in the contemporary kitchen, while the dining room is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows offering the best views in the house. Outside, you’ll find a wooden deck that’s perfect for morning coffees, evening cocktails, and everything in between.

Nestled on the slopes of Bormio Ski Area, this bright and welcoming home is perfect for those looking for a snowy wonderland, where skiing is a daily occurrence and evenings are meant to be spent snuggled up by the fire with a belly-warming drink in hand. Spend your mornings watching the sunrise from your private balcony, sipping on a fresh cup of coffee and just letting the world pass you by, before grabbing your skis and heading out onto the slopes for a day shredding up the snow in the most exhilarating way possible. 

When the day is over and you've had all the adrenaline-filled fun you can, head on down to the town of Bormio for a sumptuous meal and the perfect glass of wine (we highly recommend a hearty bowl of Taròz). Soak in the local culture as you walk around this beautiful town, before making your way home for a hot, bubbly dip in the spa bath, or a relaxing five minutes in the sauna and steam room.

Wheelchair Access

Experience peace and comfort on the banks of Lake Garda when you stay at this modern apartment, just ten minutes from the heart of Riva del Garda. The well-outfitted home comes with a large private terrace, boasting panoramic views over the staggeringly beautiful landscape that surrounds it.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at the outdoor dining table, plus the odd aperitif – you are on holiday, after all. The balcony is shaded, which means you can enjoy the views and hilltop breeze without the sunshine overwhelming you. Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, from the inviting seating area to the fully equipped kitchen. Slide open the doors as you cook to let the warm Italian air waft in.

The town is famed for its ideal windsurfing conditions, so it would be a shame to leave without trying it out. If you're seeking a more laidback getaway, we suggest a gentle stroll around the fascinating Museo Alto Garda. Its unique collection of art and archaeology is housed in a historic former fortress.

Lakeside Lookout

For a taste of authentic Italian living, this stylish home opens its doors to the beauty of southern Siena.

Located in the historic town of Montalcino (renowned for its Brunello wine), this is the perfect setting to experience the warmth and depth of Italian living. It feels traditional here with elegant styling that adds comfort and ease. From preparing your morning coffee in the kitchen to sitting in the private garden, this is the kind of space that inspires you to slow down and savour the moment. 

Follow the views of the Val d’Orcia and take a stroll through the charming streets of Montalcino, making a stop in one of the cafes or restaurants to enjoy the atmospheric beauty. Or wind your way through the rolling hills towards Siena – only a fifty–minute drive away. 

As the sun sets across the countryside, you’ll love coming home to this sanctuary in the trees. Open the doors and enjoy an evening in true Italian style – with beautiful food, wine and conversation.

Luxury Toiletries

If you love the artsy side of life, you'll thrive in this contemporary loft. Colourful art pieces stand out, with some splashes of colour added by the feature walls. Natural light pours in through the large kitchen windows – the perfect chance to watch the morning birds fly by. You even get a lovely view of the courtyard from the bedroom too. 

Spend the day at Constanti winery – this is where your host works, so she will be more than happy to give you a tour of the place. Beautiful vineyards surround the loft and a wide range of wineries to sample some of the tastiest glasses of red.

Return home to sit at the dining table while the scent of a home-cooked Italian meal fills the room from the nearby kitchen. After you've eaten, pick a book off of the shelf, and snuggle up on the sofa while the moonlight shines through the windows. Pop the TV on for background noise or simply enjoy the peace and quiet that Montalcino brings.

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.

Discover the Sicilian island of Pantelleria from this gorgeous villa. It has a contemporary feel with elements of a dammuso, a typical Pantelleria home, and is surrounded by two acres of fragrant Mediterranean garden. We think this home is particularly suited to families – furry friends are welcome, and your host can provide a range of equipment for little ones, including a baby bath and cot. The pool offers breathtaking sunset views, but for sunbathing by the sea Sataria Beach is just a short drive away.

In the charming town of Desenzano del Garda, among the ancient ruins and intricate mosaics, this fascinating home invites you to experience the history that lives within its walls. Dating back to the 1900s, this apartment has many tales to tell, having been built by a local winemaker in the 30s. 

Combining history and culture, the building has been beautifully restored and retains many of its original features. Think fine marble staircases, wrought iron railings and intricately carved window frames – stepping into this home will transport you back in time. The interiors are super homely with pops of sunshine yellow, which perfectly mirrors the exterior.
Open up the French doors and take a seat on the comfy sofa to enjoy your morning coffee and gaze at the spectacular views of the lake. The private balcony looks out over the piazza, and is the perfect place to breathe in some fresh air and watch the world go by. You'll be ideally situated for exploring both the town and the beach, giving you the best of both worlds. 

Known for its ancient ruins and artifacts, head to one of the local museums to learn more about this fascinating part of Italy. Desenzano Castle is just 450 yards away, which has enjoyed a rich and varied past – climb up to the tower entrance for incredible views over Lake Garda.

When dinner time comes around, you'll be spoilt for choice, with an array of authentic Italian restaurants practically on your doorstep. But if you fancy a quiet, more private meal, we recommend buying some fresh ingredients and then heading home to try cooking some local delicacies yourself, washed down with a glass of wine and a movie on the sofa.


Sunshine Square

Juicer

Situated south of the glamorous centre of Cortina d’Ampezzo, this charming pine-clad apartment offers easy access to some of the best skiing, mountain biking and hiking terrain that Italy has to offer. But that's not all. It also happens to be one of the best resorts in the Dolomites for those who prefer their holidays a little less exhilarating – with winter walking, skating, boutique shopping and fine dining on offer.

With copious amounts of wood teamed with a traditional rustic mountain design, the apartment makes for a welcoming high-altitude escape for a family or group of friends. A cosy living and dining space contains sufficient corners for everyone to claim a spot, with the adjacent kitchen equipped for all your needs despite its compact size.

Elsewhere, three cosy bedrooms offer a hygge-inspired haven of comfy beds and untreated wood. Every possible effort has been made to use natural materials wherever possible. Perhaps the standout feature of the entire home is the stunning wooden bath – perfect for a luxuriant soak after a long day in the mountains.

When you step inside this 17th–century villa, there’s a sense of being transported to another time and place. With its atmospheric presence and poetic beauty, it’s the kind of home that’s been designed for beautiful gatherings. 

Set within the charming village of Baveno, just a short drive from Milan, this is the perfect setting for friends and family to celebrate in traditional Italian style. The communal spaces feel intimate and personal – with artistic details that inspire curiosity and intrigue. 

Follow the creative spirit through the pink inner patio and into the kitchen – this is a wonderful place to cook and socialise. No doubt you’ll be inspired to take your morning coffee outside and into the gardens. With views across Lake Maggiore and the famous Borromeo Islands, it’s easy to get lost in the magic of this setting. 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.

As the sun sets across the mountains, you’ll love coming together around the large dining table to raise a glass of local wine, and share the beauty of Italian living.

The Italian Alps offer charm and excitement throughout both summer and winter. While ski resorts like Livigno have enough excellent terrain to draw the snowsports crowds, a relaxing stay in lush mountain scenery wouldn’t go amiss in warmer months. In a similar way, this home allows you to experience both sides of the region.

Just a five-minute walk from the nearest ski lift, this studio apartment is more than handy for skiers and snowboarders. But as the sun beats down in the heat of July, it’s equally wonderful for picturesque bike rides (courtesy of your host). Either way, you’ll be in need of relaxation afterwards – that’s where the sauna comes in.

Beyond the wooden porch and pine interiors of this modern building, the luxe spa sits on its own floor. With beanbags and a chill-out area next to the glass door to the sauna, you’ve got plenty of space to kick back if it gets too hot.

Spoiler alert – you’ve got far-reaching views of the slopes and Alpine ski runs from the breakfast table of this chic apartment, so you know exactly what’s in store each day. It’s on the outskirts of Livigno where gondolas and ski lifts await to whisk you up the mountainside. A heated ski locker can keep your ski boots and salopettes warm and dry, ready for another day on the powder. In summer, the hiking trails up into the Alps reward with stunning views and you can fuel up for big walks with a view of an Alpine meadow, thanks to a stone-built barbecue and dining area in the vast garden. Even in winter, the first-floor balcony catches the sunshine – perfect for toasting the mountains with a sundowner. 

Heading inside, the first thing that caught our attention was the picture-frame window by the dining table, framing the mountain view like a work of art. The sitting room is tucked in a cosy little wood-clad corner for that cabin-chic feel and long windows let the sunlight stream in. A sleek black kitchen hides everything you need for apres-ski meals and morning coffees before the slopes. Bedrooms are tucked beneath wooden ceilings across both floors and the added bonus is the steam room for sore muscles.  


Salopettes & Slopes

On the sun-dappled coast of southern Sicily, the Baroque city of Noto shines with the majestic charm of the region. And nestled within its centre, this home provides the perfect setting for an immersive island escape. 

From the soft light and earthy tones to the rustic furnishings, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. On the ground floor, you'll find the living room opens up onto a private terrace – inviting you to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or dusky pink sunset drinks. 

Back inside, this dynamic space brings a romantic touch to daily living. And whether you’re enjoying a candlelit dinner or relaxing in the ensuite bedrooms, it’s easy to feel captivated by the simplicity of this home. 

From here, it’s just a short walk into the centre where days can be spent strolling along the enchanting baroque alleys, savouring gelatos and mingling with locals in tiny bars and restaurants. And for explorations along the shimmering coastline, you’ll find Lido di Noto is 3km from here, while some of the island’s most secluded beaches are just a short drive away. 

Felicità

Ceiling Fans

If you dream of castles, breathtaking views, and beautiful interiors that are fit for a prince or princess, then this is the home for you. Perched above Lake Garda, this apartment is a wildly romantic spot – it's guaranteed to sweep you off your feet. 

The pastel colour palette creates a charming, almost whimsical feel, where you can settle into life by the lake. The checkered sofa is a lovely place to curl up with a glass of Italian red wine, while the kitchen invites you to whip up your favourite pasta dishes. Step outside onto the balcony, and you can gaze out across the water – from quick breakfasts to lavish dinners, the alfresco dining space is lovely at all times of the day. Plus, you even have access to a shared swimming pool – it doesn't get much better than this. 

Padenghe Castle, a medieval fort, is just a five-minute walk away, where you can stroll through the ruins and soak up the sense of history. The edge of the lake is just a five-minute drive away, and you can walk or cycle along the many trails nearby. And, if you're a golfer then you're in luck – two of the most popular courses are within a six-kilometre drive of the house. 

Fairytale Weekend

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. A few pieces of artwork and natural decorative items lend a little character, while the horseshoe-shaped kitchen has enough space for cooking up hearty dinners when you're fresh off the slopes.

Ah yes, skiing – there's plenty of opportunity for winter sports here, with lifts up to the slopes lying within walking distance. Even closer, there are restaurants, shops and a museum within the town to explore.

Pass Me My Paintbrush

Jacuzzi

This villa's sea views are the definition of swoon-worthy. Day or night, relaxing in the fresh air is a no-brainer with a private swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and multiple panoramic seating areas at your disposal. The fuss-free interiors don't stack up to the scenery – the open-plan living area is particularly cramped – but they'll do the job if you plan to spend most of your time outdoors. With Lerici's beach a ten-minute walk away, restaurants and shops within strolling distance, and several charming nearby towns easily accessible by car, why not explore the Italian Riviera? Your host can help arrange guided tours, yacht cruises, and other experiences, too.

The Neptune's Seal

Parking On Premises

Overlooking the beach of Portu Frailis, this apartment provides the ideal setting for a refreshing coastal stay. From here, it’s just a five-minute stroll to the nearest restaurants, while a greater selection of amenities can be reached in just a five-minute drive. Private parking is included in your stay, plus your host is on hand to provide tips and recommendations throughout your stay. It’s worth noting there are stairs leading up to the entrance of the apartment, but once inside you’ll find a family-friendly home with the addition of a sofa bed for two guests in the living room. The terrace also includes a barbecue – perfect for alfresco dining as the sun sets over the bay.  

Fig Bay

Umbrellas

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.
