Enjoy an idyllic Italian getaway at this gorgeous traditional villa, providing glorious views of the Gulf of Poets and the leafy Ligurian countryside. Sitting up on an elevated position just outside La Spezia, and surrounded by olive groves, this home is the perfect peaceful retreat for when you want to explore the hills and valleys of rural Italy.

Inside, you'll find beautiful farmhouse interiors that have an almost fairytale feel, with original features that have been recently restored, along with exposed stone walls, wood beam ceilings and grand brick archways. The kitchen area is great for cooking up all your favourite meals during your stay, with a dining set where you can tuck in with family and friends.

You'll be utterly charmed by the outside areas, too – there's a private pool here that's surrounded by sun loungers, so you can spend the day alternating between soaking up the sunshine and cooling off in the water. There's also a covered terrace here, with a lounge area for resting with your morning coffee as you watch the sunrise, and a dining table for sipping on bellinis as you watch the sunset.

Perched on a hilltop above Santa Margherita Ligure, this villa puts you on the route of the Cinque Terre – five towns that cluster rainbow-bright around coves and harbours. It’s a six-minute walk into the charming town centre for meals on the waterfront, just remember it’s a steep walk back up the hill. But the views are worth it – gaze out over the rooftops and shimmering sea from the sprawling terrace. It’s all about dining, reclining and unwinding in the pool or hot tub out here. Two kitchens (one indoors and one covered outdoors) will keep the chef of the group happy and sliding open the glass doors blends the terrace with the huge, open living room.

Get away from it all at this charming villa in the Tuscan countryside. With tranquil views of the Apennine mountains from the garden’s shady seating area, we doubt you’ll even want to leave the grounds – but if you do, you’ll find Portofino, Pisa, and Florence all within driving distance. Unwind by the pool during the day and cosy up around the fire pit come evening, or curl up with a book in one of the bright living areas. If you find yourself a little too relaxed, you can always get the adrenaline pumping with nearby activities such as paragliding over the Cinque Terre, rock climbing at Via Ferrata, rafting and hiking. The home has been designed as a space to reconnect with nature, but fear not; there’s also wi-fi, a flat-screen TV and a wireless sound system to enjoy.

Welcome Hamper

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.

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.

Overlooking the city of Imperia and the Liguria coast, this modern apartment is just the ticket for a carefree Italian getaway. The panoramic views are the star of the show here – the large windows in the living area face the sea and port, while the bedrooms look towards the mountains. And there's no better place to admire the views than the balcony, which features a dining table for alfresco meals and evening drinks while the sun goes down. But the scenery is not all we love about this home. The sleek interior is light, roomy and ultra-contemporary, yet it still feels like a cosy place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. Meander through the charming streets, dine at one of the seaside eateries or take a tour of Villa Grock, once home to the greatest clown (yes, clown) in Europe. Whatever you get up to, this apartment is the perfect base to take it all in.

Relax in the cozy bedrooms, featuring comfortable French beds and enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen. Whether you're seeking solace or adventure, this magical hideaway is the perfect base to explore the picturesque landscapes, sandy beaches, and charming villages nearby. Experience a truly unforgettable stay at the Enchanted Retreat.

Mystical Hideaway

Varzi Vista unravels amidst the enchanting allure of San Michele di Pagana, dressed with an eye-catching expanse of 407 square meters. Choosing from three beautifully adorned rooms boasting plush double beds, one is drawn into a sphere of absolute restful tranquility. Two other bedrooms offer the choice of single beds, simply perfect for friends or family vacations. Bound together by tradition and modernity, Varzi Vista precisely captures the heart-stirring heritage and unparalleled comfort that offers guests an incredible sanctuary away from home.

Varzi Vista

In the exclusive Portofino peninsula, this villa is a ten-minute walk from the harbour's designer shops and seafood restaurants. You'll have private access to the sea on a small rocky platform, and the large terrace is shaded by century-old wisteria with space for alfresco dining. Some of the decor is a little dated and won't be to everyone's taste, but all the bedrooms have lovely sea views. Parking is limited, and although the sea is on your doorstep, it's worth noting that the nearest beach is best reached by public transport.

Lonesome Voyage

Desk / Workplace

A location like this deserves a unique and truly magical home. Off the beaten track, a ten-minute drive from the coast at San Lorenzo al Mare and half an hour from Imperia, it's set in a picture-perfect rural hamlet on a hillside. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient olive groves, this place hasn't changed for centuries. In a building that dates from the 18th century, it actually comprises two apartments – a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom, set across four floors. Steep, narrow stairs lead up to the cool, whitewashed attic rooms or down to the converted cellars – bursting with character and authentic charm. The two flats have their own living spaces, and one boasts a small balcony while the other has a dining spot on a rooftop terrace. With hundreds of years of history in its walls, we love the rustic look of its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and bare stone walls. But that's not to say this place is all about the past. You just need to look in the modern, stainless steel kitchens and admire the mix of antiques and contemporary furniture to see this home has all the comforts of modern-day living. Head to the nearby natural pools of Laghetti di Pietrabruna for a wild swim, buy local farm produce or drive to the beach – the choice is yours.

Tourmaline Dream

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

Outdoor Pool

Roughly hewn stone, exposed brickwork and tumbling terraces all give the impression this rambling rural retreat has been carved from the Ligurian hillside itself. If you’re looking for somewhere with character, this surely must be it. The layout is a little quirky — the only way to get upstairs is via a stone staircase outside the building — but this only adds to the charm of the place. Delightful stone archways reveal yet another hidden terrace or quiet nook to catch up on that holiday paperback, while grotto-like bathrooms and a cute mezzanine bedroom for the kids add a fairytale quality to the experience. Yet for all its tucked away spaces, this semi-detached home has plenty of opportunities for the more sociable among you. We can see the polished kitchen table becoming the hub of the house — somewhere to gather the grown-ups and bambini alike for a delicious Italian feast while you plan your next sun-soaked day in the hills. Then there’s the sun deck with its outdoor dining area and barbecue, not to mention the pretty garden with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside — best admired from a lounger with a cool glass in hand. Privacy, seclusion and utter relaxation is the order of the day here. Indulge in a lazy lie-in (the bedrooms are beautiful rustic affairs — think exposed wooden beams, ornate bedsteads and fluttering curtains). When the sun rises over the olive groves, dive into the private swimming pool and enjoy a moment while the kids burn off some energy in the playground or challenge each other to a game of table football. There’s a supermarket and restaurant within a few minutes drive, so you can stock up on supplies for your next pasta-based extravaganza. Or take a road trip to explore the surrounding area — it’s a short drive to the nearest town and you can be at the beach within half an hour. Our suitcases are packed already!
