Inside, Villa Vetice is no less impressive, with interiors that are plucked right from the pages of a magazine and have been tastefully finished to a high spec.

2. Villa Rossana, Mazara del Vallo, Sicily (available from €468 - €748 per night)
Another gem of a property with incredibly unique interiors, Villa Rossana is a wonderfully spacious and relaxing villa in Sicily that is perfect for those looking to unwind in a dreamy setting. With high ceilings and large rooms, comfy furnishings, a grand and sweeping staircase in the centre of the building, two incredibly luxurious bathrooms (one on the ground floor and one on the first floor), a gorgeous kitchen with rich wood-panelling and marble counter tops, massive open-plan living and dining areas on the ground floors, and three large double bedrooms and one bedroom with two single beds, the villa has everything you could think of or need. In addition to this, this impressive and unique building itself has been decorated with incredible taste, featuring sturdy and elegant furniture, lots of plush details, plenty of rugs and throws and cushions to make the large space homier, pops of colour against a backdrop of generally neutral palettes, the aforementioned gilt and luxurious spacious bathrooms, and the picture-perfect kitchen that begs foodies to come inside and make elaborate meals.
Outside, this trend continues with an impressive and permanent covered outdoor dining area that has been built next to the villa, right by the pool. Accessed via a staircase down to the pool area and garden from the villa, this structure not only features a built-in barbecue and a dining table and chairs for six people but it is basically a second, outdoor kitchen that boasts counter space, a sink, a hob, and a refrigerator under the wooden veranda! If you like to barbecue or dine outdoors, it’s an absolute dream!

3. Villa Sofia, Salento, Apulia (available from €430 - €1092 per night)
Yet another gorgeous and perfectly finished villa in the south of Italy, Villa Sofia is a stunning sleek and chic modern property in the beloved Salento area of Apulia. Set amongst olive groves, a few kilometres from the sea in the countryside of Carovigno, a characteristic medieval village in the Alto Salento, this property is perfectly located for peace, privacy, and ready exploration of the stunning landscape and landmarks of this extraordinary part of the world. Somewhat raised, the villa takes in glimpses of the glittering sea nearby and overlooks a well set up pool area to the back of the property. This dreamy pool area features a rectangular private pool, sun-loungers, an impressive permanent parasol under which the more sun shy can hide, an outdoor shower area that is a little bit shielded from the pool by a wall, and a covered area with sun-loungers as well as two separate outdoor dining areas (one with chairs and a small coffee table and another with a cushioned bench seat, three chairs, and a dining table) flanking the central stairs back up to the villa entrance.
Those looking to make the most of sunny Apulian weather and to really enjoy their time lounging about in these spectacular surroundings will find that Villa Sofia is perfect for just that. However, the beauty of this property does not stop outdoors. Inside, you will find a stylish modern villa in neutral shades but with fun design features and bright pops of colour that is made up of two apartments, each with two bedrooms (a double room and a room with two singles in each apartment), a kitchenette and open-plan living room, and one bathroom. This makes Villa Sofia an ideal option for two families or couples who are travelling together to experience the best that Apulia has to offer but who also want some extra space and privacy to enjoy throughout their stay.
4. Villa Monia, Celleri, Emilia Romagna (available from €700 - €850 per night)

An exceptionally pretty property, the house itself has big windows flanked by shutters, lots of doors out to the lovely outdoor spaces, a big roof extending out to boths side of the house and affording pleasantly shaded areas for relaxing and dining al fresco, trees and lush greenery all around the house, and a pool and sun-loungers set into the back lawns.
