Cison di Valmarino, Treviso

For a truly remarkable getaway, escape to this stately home steeped in history in the charming Italian village of Cison di Valmarino, just an hour from gorgeous Venice. Originating in the 15th century, the house has been restored as a home away from home for those who wish to savour the best that Veneto has to offer.

Livigno, Sondrio

Set within a historic, family-owned chalet in the Alpine town of Livigno, this apartment puts you just steps from the slopes. Inside, the interiors are simple yet cosy, with wood-panelled walls and ceilings, plenty of windows and two balconies overlooking the mountains – ideal for morning coffee or an evening drink.

Top of the Lake

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Stresa, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola

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.
