Renaissance architecture is defined by ideals of harmony, balance, and symmetry and saw architects of the period study classical buildings to create idealised structures that are impossibly beautiful. Rome is home to more than her fair share of such buildings but, among them all, one of the most charming and magical jewel-box like beauties is the Tempietto. For architecture and art-lovers who book a vacation rental in Rome and come to explore the impossibly rich architectural heritage of the city, this gorgeous little building is a must-see.

Italy’s bigger towns and cities, meanwhile, boast even more impressive and bejewelled houses of worship. The romantic town of Verona, for example, is full of architectural gems and beautiful sights, making it a must for those on a day-trip who vacation in Veneto, and among her stunning buildings, the Chiesa di Sant'Eufemia is quite the wonder.
