Looking for a seaside spot for perfect days on the beach with a certain je ne sais quoi for your next getaway in Italy? Then we might recommend a trip to Ischia while you enjoy a stay in one of our incredible villas in Campania. This mountainous volcanic island, positioned at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples and around 30km from Naples is wonderfully unique and utterly lovely. If you’re considering a holiday rental in Campania but want to see what the region has beyond the immensely well-loved Amalfi Coast, it is a true gem just waiting to be explored...

Easy Access

One of the best parts about planning a day-trip to Ischia is that it is easy to access. Simply hop on the ferry from Naples and you’ll be on the island in 50 minutes. Plus, on the way over, you’ll be able to enjoy the boat ride and the scenery – sounds like the perfect way to begin a day out!

For the more serious water babies and beach lovers, a villa in Calabria means a vacation spent exploring some of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and the world and a rugged coastline dotted by charming little villages, panoramic viewing spots, and all sorts of magical surprises. Yet, this is an area of Italy that gets comparatively few tourists and, unlike some parts of the country, is dying for more visitors! So, if you want to get ahead of the crowd, make your budget stretch further, and enjoy stunning beaches where finding a nice spot is not quite as much of a competitive sport during the summer months, then maybe Calabria is the place for you...

Sicily is, undoubtedly, a stunning part of the world. From its perfect beaches, to ancient ruins, to grand Baroque cities, and beyond, there are so many stunning sights and incredible attractions to explore and take in once you have booked a villa in Sicily and begin exploring the island.

Of course, there are also tiny little pockets of beauty and impossibly pretty little towns, as well. One of the most charming and loveliest of all of the small towns in Sicily, however, might just be the tiny coastal gem that is the little historic fishing village of Marzamemi. 

For a truly dreamy seaside getaway, it would be hard to find a destination as utterly picturesque and charming as Budoni. By booking a villa in Budoni, in the province of Sassari, on the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, you will have access to some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Italy. With the entire coast of Budoni being located inside the Tavolara Island Marine Protected Area, the gorgeous beaches in this part of the world are not only serious lookers but they are also unspoiled and untouched. So, for days enjoying water sports, swimming in the sea, strolling along the strand, and exploring stunning scenery, a vacation rental in Budoni is just the thing!

Utterly singular, with incredible local traditions, and truly spectacular landscapes, Sardinia offers vacations in Italy but not as you imagine them. The second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and an extremely popular tourist destination, it is one of those places that you will likely have heard about plenty if you haven’t been yourself already. However, don’t come expecting the culture of mainland Italy but, rather, a distinct culinary scene, history, language, and more. Those who book a villa in Sardinia will come to find that there is nowhere else quite like it…
