A great view isn't necessarily key to a wonderful holiday but it helps and a terrible view can ruin an otherwise pleasant experience. Waking up somewhere new, far from home and daily concerns, welcomed by picturesque views, really helps in jump-starting the relaxation process. Luckily, we have endless properties across Italy with fantastic views to choose from. Here are just ten of our favourite vacation rentals with incredible views in Italy.
1. Grimaldi
This apartment is located in a historic villa that is a former castle of the family who reigned over Montecarlo. Set within an enclosed exclusive 20,000m2 estate that is just a short walk from the sea, it has panoramic views across the sea as far across as Cap Martin and the Principality of Monaco. The apartments have been carefully restored to retain their historic charm and character and all share the estate's plentiful facilities: the picturesque garden with various botanic rarities crossed by alleyways, terraced gardens, swimming pool and tennis court.

However, it really is those extraordinary views that sell this property – lovely and well-equipped as it may be – it looks directly out onto the water and there is an equipped panoramic terrace with sea view that is accessible from the living/dining room. With one bedroom and sleeping up to four, it is available from €180 per night.
2. Cefalù
Another property with excellent sea views is this charming and panoramic apartment in a three-family villa. Situated halfway up a hillside with olive groves and oak trees overlooking the sea, in the very beautiful Gulf of Cefalù, it has extensive and inspiring views over the sea.

Cefalù, the most important and famous sea-side resort in western Sicily with excellent public sandy beaches as well as bathing resorts and connections to the Aeolian Islands is just 9km away.
