This Sardinian villa is all about views of the turquoise sea. Mediterranean gardens lead down to the swimming pool and water’s edge where you can paddle in the rocky shallows. A short walk away, you’ll find sandy beaches and Villasimius' pretty marina. You’ve got uninterrupted views of the horizon from a covered terrace and from the open-plan living-dining room – the hanging fireplace and Moroccan-style seating make this a fab spot for socialising. Then when it comes to hitting the hay, bedrooms are split between the main villa and two separate apartments each with its own kitchenette and additional single rooms for children.  

Mediterranean Dreams

Just a stone's throw away from a breathtaking white sandy beach in San Teodoro, Sardinia, lies the enchanting Villa Le Pernici. Nestled amidst lush landscapes and commanding stunning mountain views, this newly built 7-bedroom villa embodies comfort and elegance. The tastefully designed bedrooms are spread across two separate blocks, ensuring privacy and tranquility. Each bedroom boasts its own luxurious en-suite bathroom and has direct access to private outdoor terraces that invite abundant natural light and a gentle Mediterranean breeze. The spacious and stylish living room, dining area, and well-equipped kitchen serve as an inviting space for shared moments with loved ones. Step outside to discover the two covered terraces ideal for al fresco dining or kicking back in rattan chairs by the poolside oasis. Perfectly situated close to town amenities, pristine beaches, golf courses, and the vibrant city of Olbia, Villa Le Pernici offers guests unparallelled comfort and relaxation in an idyllic seaside setting.

Beachfront Escape

You’ll find this apartment in the heart of Ortigia, the historical centre of Syracuse. As an open-plan space, it’s perfect for a couple keen to base themselves within easy reach of the city’s main attractions. So, while the home lacks natural light, its enviable location makes up for it – you’re likely to spend most of your time strolling the cobbled, sunny streets. While out and about, check out the historic market where you can pick up some local produce, and head to the Piazza Duomo, Ortigia’s central square, for coffee as you people-watch in the Sicilian sun. 

Spirit of Ortigia

If you thought Dubai was the ultimate playground for the super rich, then you clearly haven’t been to the Costa Smeralda. This magnificent slice of coastline in the north of Sardinia is where Versace-clad A-listers and billionaires spend it like Beckham – so why not join them? This extraordinary home is a seconds away from Porto Cervo, the heart of the glitz and glamour. Its design is understated but – of course – still extremely luxurious, with cream furnishings and bold artworks. Check out the intricate stone seashell light feature in the living room and the statement ceiling studded with driftwood. Quirky wooden ceilings are clearly a thing here because the glorious balcony boasts a curved wicker canopy to keep out the rays (and give your Gucci sunnies a break while you’re checking out that sea view). Talk about living La Vida Moda.

A Pearl in Paradise

Sitting pretty among the rolling farmland and hillsides of Le Marche, this rustic home is in perfect keeping with these bucolic surroundings, especially as you wander through the archways and under ceiling beams inside. Therefore, it might surprise you to learn that the building was only constructed in 2008 and has since been renovated.

It must be said that the attention to detail taken is sublime and you genuinely feel like you're walking about a majestic property that's been standing on the site for decades. Even the more contemporary aspects have been incorporated seamlessly, as seen with the fetching black surfaces in the minimalist kitchen, the designer chandeliers and the ensuite bathroom complete with a corner Jacuzzi bathtub.

The outdoor space is just as impressive, too. The heated swimming pool is sure to be the first feature that grabs your attention, but the alfresco dining table, outdoor kitchen and Weber barbecue on the terrace are sure to be just as appreciated come mealtimes. If you're ever in need of a quiet moment to yourself, there are plenty of shady spots out in the large garden full of olive and cypress trees.

You're treated to some pretty views while outside, as well as a real sense of seclusion. The nearest town is Loro Piceno about seven minutes' drive away and the Natural Reserve of Abbadia Fiastra takes a similar amount of time to reach in the opposite direction. A little further afield, it's possible to reach the Adriatic coastline at Citanova Marche in just over half an hour by car.

Cherished Memory

This stunning villa is tucked away in a private residential complex on the sandy coastline of Capitolo. From the garden and terrace, you can admire sea views, whether you’re dining alfresco, swimming in the private pool, or soaking up the sun on a lounger. The swimming pool also has a whirlpool feature, helping you to relax even more. Monopoli is just 2 kilometres away, and is a superb spot for lunch and shopping. 

Blissful Beach House

This charming apartment is based in a beautiful palazzo in Orvieto. The small city on a cliff in Umbria is a great choice of base for those seeking an Italian break that’s a little bit different. You’ll be surrounded by the history and culture of Italy’s bigger cities, but will be able to enjoy a quieter visit. This apartment boasts a petite Juliet balcony where you can look out over Orvieto’s rooftops, the garden, and a 1000-year-old church. The fully-equipped kitchen makes dining in a breeze, and the espresso machine is a big help in the morning. 

Pastel Paint

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.

Olives & Honey

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. 

Sunset Sorrento

This home opens its doors to an unforgettable lakeside getaway. Offering idyllic views, elegant rooms and exceptional service (including a butler and private chef), this is the perfect setting for a special event or intimate retreat. Guests can enjoy access to a seven-acre private estate along with a swimming pool, large garden and lake dock with a complimentary boat. There is one neighbouring villa here, but it retains a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion thanks to the expansive grounds. It’s also possible to walk into Blevio, while the old town of Como is just 5 kilometres away. 

Romance on the Lake

This cosy apartment is located in the heart of historic Fonterutoli, surrounded by beautiful Tuscan countryside. Spend your time visiting local vineyards and wineries, or take a day-trip to Siena. The apartment has a classic Tuscan stone facade, which adds to the charm. Inside, you’ll find a fuss-free home that’s equipped with everything you might need for a short break. We think the best feature is the outside area, where you can sit in the shade of the trees and admire the stunning view. 

Wild Onion

With postcard-perfect views of the Tyrrhenian Sea from its private terrace, this home guarantees a holiday to remember. The traditional interiors are charming and cosy, and we loved the nonna-style kitchen for rustling up authentic Italian dishes, enjoyed together in the internal courtyard. Thanks to the flexible sleeping arrangements, this place is ideal for any family or friends travelling together. Location-wise, Fornillo Beach is within walking distance, and you’re not far from Positano's laid-back restaurants and independent shops.
