There are many destinations in Italy where you don’t need a car at all but there are also some where it’s kind of impossible to get around properly or easily without one and there are some where you could still enjoy a holiday without a car but you won’t be able to experience your destination of choice very thoroughly. If you have been dreaming of a stay in one of our villas in Italy but you’re wondering which of these categories that a particular destination may fall into then read on for our handy guide....

Utterly singular, with incredible local traditions, and truly spectacular landscapes, Sardinia offers vacations in Italy but not as you imagine them. The second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and an extremely popular tourist destination, it is one of those places that you will likely have heard about plenty if you haven’t been yourself already. However, don’t come expecting the culture of mainland Italy but, rather, a distinct culinary scene, history, language, and more. Those who book a villa in Sardinia will come to find that there is nowhere else quite like it…

If you like your villas sleek, the sea close by, an amazing pool just a few steps outside your door, incredible views, and all of the mod-cons that you could ask for, then one of our newer listings, Villa Zigulotto, is a perfect option for your next vacation. Located on the beautiful island of Sicily in the Mediterranean, a short distance from the exceptionally pretty town of Noto and not far from the nearest beach, this stunning villa has all of the bells and whistles you could need and plenty of charm. For a holiday in Sicily, it's perfect!

Upon arrival at this three-bedroom, three bathroom (sleeping up to six guests in total) villa, guests will be immediately struck by its dreamy good looks. Think lovely natural surroundings, privacy ensured by the trees all around, a great view offered by its elevated position, neatly manicured grounds, terraces and patios with ample and luxurious outdoor furnishings, and elegant chic and sleek modern interiors.
