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.

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.

This Italian villa grabbed our attention for its front-row location on the Amalfi coast. You can enjoy spectacular sea views from the garden, balconies, and terraces, and you also have direct access to a private beach. Your host can provide breakfast to begin the day at a leisurely pace, and if you’re travelling with children, babysitter recommendations are available. There are lots of stairs to climb here, including a spiral staircase in the home, steep steps in the terraced garden, and steps to the private beach, so it won’t suit everyone. Location-wise, you’re in the pretty village of Conca dei Marini with many picturesque coastal towns, including popular Amalfi, within easy driving distance.

This fairy tale tower is the perfect place for a unique, romantic getaway. Located in picturesque Porto Venere, you’ll have four floors to yourselves here, including a roof terrace with sea views. The stone tower, which dates back to 1161, boasts a marble dining table – perfect for pasta for two – a Jacuzzi bathtub, and a wine cellar. To make your stay even more special, your host provides breakfast and can help arrange a variety of treats, such as a private chef to cook for you at home. The tower is a destination in itself, but if you can tear yourselves away, you’ll find a pretty harbour, Medieval buildings, and a viewpoint overlooking the Ligurian Sea nearby.

Expect open fireplaces, coffered ceilings, incredible original art and designer furniture throughout. Every bedroom and its en-suite are of an equally high standard so all guests are guaranteed a memorable stay. Other highlights include the heated indoor pool and spa, the library and music room, and you can't possibly miss the wonderful views across the lake from the top floor. Like the rest of the home, its courtyard garden is super private – perfect for romantic candlelit dinners, and you'll also find daybeds for catching some rays. While staying in the palace, a trip to the Sacro Monte di Orta is a must – this remarkable site is perched high on a hill and is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

If peace and quiet are what you look for in a holiday, the slow pace of life at this Italian villa will suit you perfectly. It’s just a three-minute drive from the centre of Ceglie Messapica but feels like the middle of nowhere – it’s surrounded by acres of centuries-old olive groves and fruit trees, and you can even pick your own fruit. You'll definitely need a car to make the most of your stay though. The outside space is dreamy, with an outdoor kitchen and salt-water infinity pool, but the villa is unique. It’s housed in a restored Trullo, so you can live like a local and soak up the region's history.

Set in the village of Brunate, this home offers wonderful views of Lake Como from its large terrace. Inside this apartment is impressive too with its high ceilings in the open-plan living space – there’s a second living area on the mezzanine too. Location-wise, there are a variety of local eateries and artisan shops or take a ride over to the city of Como where you’ll find an array of attractions. Or you can immerse yourself in nature with the many hiking trails through the forests here.

Brunate Vista

Deep within the green Ligurian hills behind the famous Cinque Terre (a 35-kilometre drive away), this villa offers an escape from it all. After exploring the surrounding scenery by bike or on foot, you can kick back by the poolside, play games on vast lawns or gather for alfresco feasts on the covered barbecue terrace. This place consists of two separate villas, each with its own open kitchen, living and dining room for social evenings together. The traditional feel of some of the furnishings and bathrooms won’t be for everyone, but the vast, manicured space outside makes up for it. 

Enchanting Bliss

Underfloor Heating

Dating back to the 11th-century, this watchtower is just as striking as its surroundings. Overlooking the Sibillini Mountains, you can admire the sweeping views while soaking in the hot tub or swimming in the pool. There is also an amphitheatre, beautiful gardens and a terrace with a barbecue – perfect for alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms unfold across two apartments and offer a unique sense of character. It’s worth noting there are a number of steps here so this may not be the best option for young children, but it’s the perfect setting for an adults-only escape. From here, you can follow hiking trails straight from the door, take the short drive to Amandola or adventure further afield towards the Adriatic coast. 

Mountain Watchtower

This is a charming country house located on top of a hill surrounded by trees and fields. It's situated in a traffic-calmed area, 3 km from the centre of Collecorvino, offering a peaceful and quiet retreat. The house has a large shared garden with a barbecue for guests to enjoy. The upper ground floor features a large kitchen, 3 double bedrooms each with its own shower/bidet/WC, and an exit to the veranda with one french bed and two double beds. There's also a large terrace of 30 m2 with terrace furniture, balcony furniture, and 4 deck chairs providing guests with beautiful panoramic views of the valley. The property is conveniently located near several towns and cities such as Città S.Angelo and Pescara, which are only 10 km and 15 km away respectively. The sea is just a short distance of 10 km while skiing areas are approximately 40 km away. Please note that the owner lives in the same residence, has a dog, and does not accept any youth groups.

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

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.

A sixteenth-century villa in the hilly outskirts of Florence that, at times, has been both a stables and a nightclub, Thermae is one of the most spectacular places we’ve seen in Italy. Its restoration has been a labour of love for the host, Giovanni, and the way that he’s incorporated technology into the original structure is simply impressive. There’s too much to describe here, but know that everything's been taken care of. And if we did have to choose one thing that stood out, it might have to be the pool, hidden away in the vaults, and only accessible through a trapdoor.


Thermae

Desk / Workplace

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. 

The Terracotta Sun

A seven-minute drive from two of the Adriatic coast’s glorious beaches, this Italian country villa sits in a blissfully quiet location. You’re overlooking rolling vineyards here, verdant green in summer and burnt orange and sunshine yellow in autumn. The perfect shores of Marcelli Beach and Numama Beach are each a seven-minute drive away, where loungers line the sand and the sea is crystal clear.

Back at the villa, you’ve got a shared swimming pool should you fancy a cooling dip in summer. Open up the double doors in the living room to the private brick patio, or the shaded veranda on the other side of the house. Inside, you’ve got the staples of Italian rusticana keeping things on theme; wooden ceilings and thick exposed stone walls. The kitchen is decidedly sleek and modern, and there are pops of character courtesy of gilded mirrors and Chinese dressers. 

Vine Leaves on the Horizon

Sitting on the majestic hillside of Imperia, this apartment opens its doors to an authentic stay on the Italian Riviera.

Set across one floor, the space has been cleverly designed to feel intimate and cosy, making it the perfect spot for couples or solo travellers. 

From the arched ceilings and traditional features to the eclectic styling, every detail of this home sings with a distinctive personality. So whether you’re sipping your morning coffee by the window, preparing a light bite in the kitchen or taking an afternoon siesta, this space brings a wonderful sense of joy to daily living. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find expansive views across the shimmering bay. From here you can follow the winding path down to Porto Maurizio – just a fifteen–minute walk away. You’ll find this charming coastal city is brimming with beachside restaurants, bars and shops, while there’s easy access to the rest of this magical coastline – Oneglia is just an eleven–minute drive away.

A Nautical Note

Surrounded by stunning Apulian countryside, yet just twenty minutes by car from the centre of Monopoli – this quintessential Mediterranean villa offers guests a private slice of serenity from the moment they open the front gate. Upon entering the home, you'll be welcomed by the soothing earthy tones of the home's original features, including tiled stone floors throughout and whitewashed exposed brickwork in the living area. Antique dark wooden furniture and terracotta ornaments complement the character and complete the home's Mediterranean aesthetic with infinite elegance. Leading out to the garden, French doors pave the way to a small terrace featuring day beds by the pool and a shaded chill-out area, which serves as the perfect spot for your morning coffee. Another large pergola offers a second living area, bringing the indoors outside – with a plush corner sofa, outdoor kitchen and dining table that remain shaded from the sun. This luscious corner of the home is a hidden gem that allows guests to relax as they would inside without compromising on losing garden views overlooking the countryside with olive and fruit trees growing all around. 


Tiles & Terracotta

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.

Rock of Ages

Piano

Explore the beautiful Adriatic Riviera from this charming home, just a stone’s throw away from Cattolica’s sandy beaches. Bright and white inside, elegant details abound in the living room where gold curtains, tiled floors and a large fireplace invite plenty of rest and relaxation. Outside, a palm-framed pool gives the garden zen-like tranquility, with sun loungers perfectly positioned to catch some rays. Spend the afternoon enjoying the cool soak of the pool’s waterfall or head to the umbrella striped beach, less than five minutes away on foot. Rimini, with its lively nightclubs and golden beaches, is also just over thirty minutes away by car. In the evenings, gather around the home's outdoor dining table for a barbecue, then head inside for a night of musical fun in the games room, ready to host a jam session with its piano and guitar. 

Adriatic Jewel

Just over an hour away by train from lively Bologna, Brisighella is a charming medieval village straight out of a storybook. With its hilltop clock tower, narrow alleyways and ancient walkway, it's the definition of picturesque. And this villa on the outskirts of town is the perfect place to take it all in. Consisting of the main house and a small annexe, everything here feels bright and welcoming. There's a touch of that rustic warmth you'd expect from a country home in the knotted beams and stone floor, but otherwise, the design is all old-world elegance – imagine wingback chairs, canopy beds and glittering chandeliers. Outside, the panoramic views of the Tuscan Apennines take centre stage. Whether you're sipping wine under the pergola, taking a dip in the pool or enjoying home-cooked meals in the fresh air, you'll have a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets and sweeping night skies. Trust us – you'll never want to leave.

La Favola

Found in the small town of Cisano sul Neva, this home is ideal for those months when the temperature starts to rise. The interior feels cooling thanks to the tiling underfoot and the large doorways that let a breeze circulate inside when opened. There's also plenty of shade to be found even when the sun's at its highest — a covered terrace will play host to many a languorous lunch, while the flourishing garden offers plenty of secluded spots for an afternoon nap. That being said, there are enough perks inside the four walls if you're coming during the autumn and winter. An upright piano in the living room will keep musical guests occupied, while the hydro-massage bath requires no such talent to enjoy — just sit back and let the bubbles do their work. The local town and its pretty churches take fifteen minutes to reach on foot, while the seaside town of Albenga can be reached in the same amount of time in the car.

Stream of Consciousness

Games Room

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 Sofia Rose

Come sun or snow, this charming timber retreat offers the perfect mountain getaway high in the Italian Alps. Located on the ground floor of a traditional alpine building in Livigno, the apartment is designed to be as flexible as possible, with a sleeping arrangement that's sure to suit.

Up to four people can be comfortably accommodated here, with two of the guests choosing between either a double sofa bed or two pull-down bunk beds that emerge from the wall, with two further guests in the tranquil main bedroom.

A compact kitchen contains everything you might need to whip up apres-ski sustenance sat around the dining table before exploring the traffic-free streets in the centre of the resort, a couple of kilometres up the road – with a free ski bus linking the town. Interestingly, the area has held duty-free status since the 16th century, meaning your money goes that bit further.

The area is fast establishing itself as one of the most exciting resorts in Italy and is set to host some of the 2026 Winter Olympics. Easily accessible slopes for all levels of snow sports enthusiast make Livigno a fun option for families and mixed-ability groups.

Living Livigno Loca

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.
