Archive for 'Pretty Views'

While picture-perfect colourful seaside towns, the gentle rolling hills and golden scenery of Tuscany and Umbria, and the grand cities of Rome and Florence are some of the images that predominate in our collective imaginings of Italy, the wilder and more dramatic views of Italy’s varied landscapes are equally captivating. Particularly, in the north, where the Alps tower overhead, Italy affords some truly breath-taking and awe-inspiring scenery. These glimpses of the sublime, of nature at its most unchecked, untamed, and wild, offer the perfect chance to escape the mundane, refresh your eyes, and wonder at the majesty of the world. And, one of the best examples of a place to take in such views and scenes is the Gran Paradiso National Park, which can be visited if you book one of our vacation rentals in Aosta Valley or holiday rentals in Piedmont.

This week, we were already talking about our amazing villas in Apulia and reasons as to why it should be your next holiday destination.

If you are dreaming of an idyllic escape in Apulia in the most plush surroundings, the best location, and with the most amazing amenities, then this astounding luxury villa in Apulia boasts all that and much more besides!

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.
