If you have found a vacation rental in Milan and are wandering around the city, looking for somewhere to get a coffee, we suggest popping into Bar Luce, a Milanese cafè entirely designed by the beloved American film director Wes Anderson. Inspired by the classic bars of Milan in the 1950s and ’60s, it is a pastel dream that feels like stepping into one of Anderson's movies in real life. For fans of the director and for those who merely like cute cafès, it is an absolute must-see.

Venice is most famous for her canals and most people will spend time on them during their stay in the city, even if they are avoiding the touristy gondolas. The canals are really the only way one can possibly manage to get around if they have found a vacation rental in Venice and plan on exploring the city.

However, if you do want to get a sense of the historic importance of the canals in Venice and a taste of how they used to be traversed before motorboats were invented - without paying an arm and a leg for a short spin on a gondola - why not check out the Regata Storica?

Those in search of a cultural city that is also a bit of a hidden gem as a holiday destination, a vacation rental in Turin is a brilliant option or you could find a villa in Piedmont and visit the city on day trips. Either which way, no matter if you are admiring the city from its core or during brief flings, Turin is a lesser-known gem that makes for a wonderful place to spend some time. Boasting pretty streets and piazzas, a fascinating history, beautiful palaces and churches, and interesting museums and galleries, there is lots to see and do.

The Brera Picture Gallery, or Pinacoteca di Brera, is Milan’s main public art gallery and has an incredible collection of works from over six centuries of European art, boasting pieces by the likes of Rubens, Titian, Correggio and Anthony Van Dyck.

Housed in what was, originally, a 14th century monastery, it became an academy in the 18th century where, in order to educate the students of architecture, sculpture and various other arts who studied there, a collection of casts after the Antique was established. These initial collections of sculptures used for educating students then grew and began to include paintings and, in the 19th century, the academy and the gallery that had grown up were formally separated.
