If the Aperol Spritz is the drink of choice in Venice, then the Pirlo is its equivalent in many ways in Brescia. This beautiful city in Lombardy is a wonderful place to spend time, wandering the pretty streets, taking in the beautiful buildings, visiting the parks, museums and UNESCO awarded attractions and more. It is also the perfect place to grab a Pirlo, kick back and relax on your holidays. Just find a vacation rental in Lombardy, hit up the nearest caffe-bar and order the local speciality for yourself.

Masseria Ilary is a beautiful six bedroom farm property located in the countryside near Ceglie Messapica, in Apulia. Surrounded by ancient olive trees and peace and quiet in a traditional area, the property consists of trulli, typical traditional Apulian houses, and another building. It is this attractive, historic and charming complex of buildings that forms the backdrop to this incredible pool.

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.
