There are lots of great reasons to book a villa in Italy during the spring and we have sung the praises of a holiday in Italy during the spring many times before. From the better availability of our best properties, to the lower costs that can often be associated with travelling during the off-season, to the smaller tourist crowds in popular destinations and attractions, to the milder weather that can make outdoor pursuits and general exploration more pleasant, a spring getaway in Italy has a lot to recommend it.

While Tuscany remains our first love and the region in which we have the widest range of vacation rentals to choose from, there are some other destinations where we have both a great variety of villas in Italy, particularly charming examples, and that also have a special place in our hearts. In particular, Apulia is increasingly on our minds. Not only is this where we have some of our most amazing luxury villas in Italy but it is also an incredible holiday destination that more and more customers are discovering and falling for.


Though not some unknown gem and certainly a popular holiday spot, Apulia has been historically less well-known among international tourists in Italy. This has been changing in recent years and more and more travellers from around the globe are falling for the charms of the heel and most south eastern part of Italy.
