In our final installment in this series, here are some more of our picks among the best of our incredible apartment rentals in Italy.

8. Nido Al Mare

Nido al Mare is a comfortable seafront apartment in the small seaside village of Calabernardo, on Sicily's south eastern coast, just a few kilometres away from Noto. It is located on the first floor of a small building and boasts a splendid location and, not one, but two wonderful, fully equipped terraces that allow guests to take full advantage of the position and view. Furnished tastefully throughout with a cute nautical theme, the apartment includes a living room with sofa bed, dining area and kitchenette, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. It also comes with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, satellite TV and washing machine.

When discussing apartments in Italy, it is hard not to get caught up in pretty décor – there are some seriously incredible properties out there. Luckily, however, you don't have to worry about forgetting all the other factors that make for a good rental in your excitement, as all of our apartments in Italy have wonderful facilities and locations as well. 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.

Continuing on from our last post, introducing and listing some of our best apartments in Italy, particularly two of our best located apartments – one in the historic centre of Rome and another in the Old Port of Genoa, by the sea and close to the city centre. In this article, we have chosen some of our prettiest and best decorated apartments in Italy with ideal interiors that are picture perfect and, perhaps, distant from most of our day-to-day realities. Come enjoy living vicariously through these beautiful rentals while still being at the heart of the action and having plenty of facilities and amenities nearby.

3. Casa Delle Magnolie

Casa Delle Magnolie is located in the centre of Cortona and can accommodate up to four people comfortably. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and facilities nearby and the building is well-maintained and equipped.

The Arab-Norman architecture of Palermo is a collection of buildings and monuments with design and decorative features that came about from an intertwining of cultures. Sicily's history is a tale of a long succession of rulers from a variety of places and cultures. It was particularly influenced by the Islamic conquest from 827 to 1091 and Norman rule from 1071 to 1194.

These various influences and cultures have all left their mark on the island and it is especially evident in the art and architecture of Sicily. The city of Palermo is dotted with buildings that are fine examples, incredibly fine examples, in fact, of Arab-Norman architecture.

These buildings are so admired that they were declared an official UNESCO site in 2015.

Cala Goloritzè is one of the most incredibly beautiful beaches in Italy and the entire world. Located on the island of Sardinia, in the Ogliastra area, 9 kilometers north of Baunei, it is a photogenic gem comprised of otherworldly emerald waters, romantic rock formations and pale sands. Added to this is the fact that it is located in a ravine and is unreachable by car or boat, closing it off from the outside world and making it seem even more like one has some how ended up in paradise on earth.

Elected a UNESCO site in 1995, it is officially recognised for its immense beauty and is one of the best places to go snorkeling in the country. If you are a beach-lover or an avid photographer, this beach really has to top the list of those to visit while exploring Italy.

Just find a holiday rental in Sardinia and visit this unbelievable gem for yourself.
