There is no shortage of beautiful beaches in Italy and while we have compiled lists of some of our picks for the best among them before, we are always discovering new beaches that take our breath away and set the bar once more. Among these is a beach in Sardinia that really is an extraordinarily lovely place: La Pelosa.

Located 2km from Stintino, a small natural oasis and village on the north-west coast of Sardinia, this beach is the island's most famous stretch of the coast.

From May to September it is in high demand and there is good reason. It is an incredible paradise where calm turquoise waters meet soft powder-white sands and there is plenty to see and do in the area. You can go kayaking, snorkeling, on boat excursions to the Asinara Islands (Donkey Islands), pedal-boating, hiking and much more besides.     Read More

When discussing apartments in Italy, it is hard not to get caught up in pretty décor – there are some seriously incredible properties out there.

Here are some more of our picks for beauties that have a lot more going on beyond a pretty face.

5. Molo Di Pozzillo

Molo di Pozzillo is another Sicilian gem; a delightful apartment overlooking the tiny dock of Pozzillo, a quiet coastal village close to Acireale. Recently restored, the house has a small terrace offering a pleasant sea glimpse and also happens to be just a short distance from the lava rocks that allow access to the sea for a refreshing swim. Its cosy interior is split across two floors and is furnished with taste and functionality. Mostly executed in cool grey tones and whites that make it look like the perfect hide-out from the summer sun when it is at its hottest during the day, there are pops of colour throughout and a marine-inspired theme upstairs.     Read More
