Perfectly located in a peaceful and tranquil spot, surrounded by an olive grove, just 3km from the famous, “White City,” of Ostuni and 4km from the sea, Villa Vea is a stunning luxury villa in Apulia that offers guests a dream break from daily life. With sea views, a gorgeous pool area, complete privacy, and a team of staff providing various extra services to guests, this sleek villa has every bell and whistle that one could ask for if they are looking to get away from it all, unwind, and totally relax. Sleeping up to eight guests in four en suite bedrooms, with an additional two bathrooms (for a total of six), and with a slew of extra services, Villa Vea is the definition of luxury.

As spring fully takes hold and we look ahead to summer and autumn, we enter the best time to plan a stay at one of our vacation rentals in Lake Garda. Summer sun means all sorts of outings, special events and festivals, water sports, excitement, and more but the months either side of the summer offer milder conditions that make really exploring the area on foot and by bike a more pleasant affair. It depends on what kind of holiday in Italy you want and when you can travel. However, no matter when you visit, you’ll find that the natural beauty and astounding attractions of this gorgeous part of the world are utterly breath-taking and incredibly numerous. Among these attractions, the Parco Giardino Sigurtà stands out as especially lovely and with something special to offer throughout spring, summer, and autumn. 

Dreamier surroundings than those on offer at Villa Collinette would be difficult to find. Nestled into the lush greenery of a hillside on the Antognolla Golf Course near Perugia in Umbria, this luxury villa with a pool in Italy has stunning grounds, elegant and welcoming interiors, and sweeping views over the rolling green hills of this magical part of the world. Antognolla itself is one of the most spectacular and challenging eighteen-hole golf courses in all of Italy, making the villa a perfect setting for those who love to golf, in particular. However, anyone looking to simply enjoy a dream escape in Italy will find that this gem of a location and property delivers on every possible level and provides the basis for a perfect vacation in Italy. Sleeping up to ten guests in five bedrooms, with six bathrooms, this luxury property is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. 

If you have been dreaming of an unforgettable group getaway on the Amalfi Coast then we have a truly magical villa, directly overlooking the stunning and iconic town of Positano, that sleeps up to 24 guests and has just two weeks available left to book for this year – the 10th to the 17th of May 2025 and the 7th to the 14th of June 2025. Villa Positano is absolutely a luxury villa to the nth degree, is full of charm and style, boasts every bell and whistle that you could ask for, and offers the opportunity to live alongside vistas of Italy that are beyond breath-taking. If you want to do that once-in-a-lifetime trip or that special celebration in serious style and make memories that will last a lifetime, this is the spot.

Planning a trip to Italy in May or June means that you are coming at the tail end of spring and the beginning of summer, just as tourists really begin to arrive and while everything continues to fully bloom. Not only is this when weather is milder but more than pleasant enough for days in a luxury villa with pool in Italy or by the sea but it is also when Italy is at its potentially prettiest. The coming summer days and this natural splendour, as well as harvests beginning to load tables with delicious produce, means that there are plenty of reasons to celebrate.

As a result, May and June are a time when there is an especially large number of sagre, traditional local festivals that can celebrate saints, holy days, historic events, particular food products, and more with feasts, parades, parties, concerts, and other events. Those who book a vacation rental in Italy at this time of the year, will be able to enjoy authentic, traditional experiences alongside locals, sample incredible wines, enjoy regional dishes, and really get a genuine look into Italian life.

Of course, while the food-related events and parties are well worth seeking out and enjoying, we also recommend experiencing one of the infiorata events that take place around Italy each May or June. These particular celebrations, or “flowering” events, are the pride of several towns located around Italy and involve the creation of breath-taking, elaborate flower-based decorations that wow guests and locals alike.
