This modern appointed villa, nestled along Lombardy's picturesque lakeshore, offers an idyllic retreat for guests seeking tranquility and beauty. With its own private pool, exclusive sandy beach, and boat access, this lakeside haven promises an unforgettable stay. The villa features spacious living areas that perfectly frame breathtaking lake views, while air-conditioned bedrooms ensure comfort. On the ground level, a luxurious suite with a round bed and Jacuzzi hot tub opens up to a lush garden overlooking the sparkling lake. A sauna and additional bedrooms complete the lower level. Outdoors, guests can indulge in sunbathing on the terrace, enjoy alfresco dining, or relax by the pool. Grill enthusiasts can showcase their skills on the BBQ or wood oven. With nearby attractions such as Laveno and Lake Como within easy reach, this serene oasis is an ideal base for exploring the region's treasures.

Blissful Waters

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

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.

Top of the Lake

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.

Sicilian Sun

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

This unique home offers an unparalleled escape to a private island in Tuscany, where the sea sparkles and time slows. Once a lighthouse, it's been beautifully restored, blending historic character with effortless luxury. You’ll step into a bright living room with cosy seating, a library of lighthouse tales, and a spiral staircase leading to the terrace. Here, the en-suite bedrooms open onto a private space with parasols and loungers. The on-site chef curates every meal with fresh local produce, allowing you to truly kick back and relax. Days are made for basking in the sun, soaking in the hot spring tub, paddleboarding, snorkelling, or quiet reflection under the stars. To reach the island, you'll need to purchase a dinghy or helicopter taxi service, but it's absolutely worth it for the seclusion, beauty, and unforgettable experience.

Lighthouse Island

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. 

Two Seasons

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

Housed in an elegant building in the Piazza Duomo in Desenzano del Garda, this home has a fabulous setting. The apartment is located just 50 metres from Lake Garda and the many shops, bars and restaurants. It's just 150 metres from one of the lake's sandy beaches too.

Back at this apartment, relax on the balcony off the main bedroom with a glass of wine. Inside, we love the feature ornate fireplace in the open plan living space, but the real highlight here is the beautiful view of the city's cathedral from the main bedroom window (this room also has vibrant botanical wallpaper).

Later, if you don't fancy eating out, rustle up some risotto con la tinca (rice with fish and chard) in the modern kitchen and enjoy the fruits of your labour at your dining table. After a busy day, get ready for bed in the marble-clad bathroom with its large shower and then get some rest.



Pink Fuchsia

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.

Florence Charmer

Looking for a tranquil escape amidst the beauty of the Italian countryside? We have the perfect place. Tinged with bright colours and exuding a sense of intimacy, this private retreat is tailored for romantic getaways.

It's hidden amongst the verdant forestry, away from the sounds of urban life and busy streets. Wake up and feel completely refreshed, ready for a relaxing day amongst the natural beauty of your surroundings.

Spend your days lazing around the garden, catching some gentle rays from the sun whilst you read a book. The shared terrace is a paradisal spot for sunrise or to settle down into the romance of sunset. Grab a bottle of wine from the local shop to enhance the magic of the moment.

If you're up for exploring a little further, the charming town of Cortazzone is just a three-minute drive away. Here, you'll find welcoming cafes and authentically Italian restaurants. Try the freshly-cooked pasta or pizza before wandering the town with gelato in hand.
