If you love bright, beautiful surroundings then a vacation in Italy is sure to delight. Not only is it a vibrant country full of art, lush landscapes, and colourful characters but it is also home to several towns that are famous for their picturesque looks in bright hues. For perfect spaces to lift your spirits and to act as dreamy backdrops for vacation pictures of a lifetime, these are the most colourful towns and areas to visit during a holiday in Italy!

We always aim to have a great selection of excellent villas in Italy of all kinds to choose from and, in particular, some villas in Tuscany that are impossibly charming and steeped in local tradition. These beyond picturesque vacation rentals in Tuscany boast the lush green surroundings of the famously lovely Tuscan Countryside, usually a private pool, often pretty stone exteriors, shuttered windows and doors, charming areas to eat al fresco, interiors with high, exposed-beam ceilings, old fireplaces, a sprinkling of gorgeous antiques and interesting works of art, and playful details and pops of colour.

One of our newest listings, Casa Aia, has all of this and more! Sleeping up to four in two bedrooms, with two bathrooms, and available from just €324 per night, this gem is quite possibly the quintessential example of everything we love about a holiday rental in Tuscany...

There are lots of famous sights to take in and sites to visit if you book a vacation rental in Rome but beyond the most familiar spots that everyone has in mind to at least see once with their own eyes, we have some particular details that we think you should savour. So, if you’re in the Eternal City, pause in your darting around to see it all and make the time to really take these wonders in...

Fall, for us, means city breaks! It’s a great time to head to the more metropolitan capitals and destinations to make the most of fine dining and chic little restaurants during the harvest season, to sip on winter warmers as the evenings cool, and to use the milder weather to really get out and about to explore. One of those destinations that just makes sense during the autumn months is Milan. Once people begin to layer, you’ll get great style inspo and find some excellent shopping opportunities in Italy’s famous style capital but you’ll also be able to enjoy a wide range of wonderful attractions and sites, without the larger tourist crowds of summer if you head here in the fall. If you are looking for a chic spot in which to stay, then Bianca Di Savoia Terrace View is an ideal vacation rental in Milan. 

Planning a fall getaway in a vacation rental in Rome? It’s a great time to see the city! Not only is it even prettier when the leaves turn to red and golden hues but the cooler temperatures make it easier to cover even more ground and get comfortably around the Eternal City to tick key attractions off your bucket list!

If you happen to be in the city for the first Sunday of October (or the first Sunday of any month), October the 5th 2025, you might also want to try and take advantage of Domenica al Museo to make your budget stretch even further. This initiative invites the public into state museums and cultural sites all around Italy for free!
