Corte Tiso is a charming little apartment decorated in a chic modern style that is located in the stunning historic centre of Lecce. Known as the, “Florence of the South,” this sumptuous city is full of architectural gems and incredible works of art and combines a rich cultural heritage with all of the charms of a vacation in Apulia. Corte Tiso, similarly, offers both charming traditional and historic surroundings as well as all of the mod-cons that you could ask for during a holiday in Italy.

The rolling green hills, ancient towns, pretty villages, and peaceful surroundings of the Umbrian countryside make for an idyllic retreat. Close to Tuscany and all of her charms but with plenty of her own as well, Umbria is a lush and picturesque part of the world with culinary delights, cultural riches, historical heritage, and much more besides to offer. So, if you have been browsing our Italy Villas, then why not consider a getaway in Umbria?

One incredible option, especially for those who might want to travel with some family members or friends, is Casa Vacanze Paradiso. This magnificent villa in Italy is nestled near the charming village of Case Lunghe and is just 30km from the famous Tuscan wine town of Montepulciano. Beloved destinations such as Cortona, Montalcino, Perugia, and Assisi are all within a near enough distance for easy day-trips while the likes of the Tuscan Coast, Florence, and Rome could be included should you put aside a day and get up early.

Many people around the world have Rome on their bucket list and few destinations can match the unbelievable number of things to see and do, the timeless charm and vibrant atmosphere, and the incredible looks of the Eternal City. Steeped in history, art, and culture, Rome offers endless adventures that no one person could ever entirely take in throughout the course of a lifetime. However, one could easily start to put a dent in it and come see some of the most famous attractions and landmarks with their own eyes, as well a more personalised itinerary of other curiosities, eateries, and more. And what better way to do this than by staying in a historical apartment block right at the centre? Among our listings on Italy Villas, we have some wonderful and unique holiday rentals in Rome to choose from and, among them, Spanish Steps Top Location, is ideal for those looking to have ready access to this extraordinary city. 

We’ve recently been thinking (and dreaming!) a lot about vacations in Apulia especially as our range of villas in Apulia here on Italy Villas is so incredible and includes some wonderful traditional trulli structures. Recently, we did a deep dive on the trullo, a type of traditional stone house that is unique to the region of Apulia and is characterised by a conical roof and distinctive construction, built without the use of any mortar by carefully stacking limestone blocks to form sturdy walls. 

Villa Deli is a truly magic and perfectly-located vacation rental on the Amalfi Coast that is positioned right in the centre of Positano, directly overlooking the town and the beautiful bay below. If you have been dreaming of a holiday on the Amalfi Coast, then this incredible property is probably exactly what you have been picturing in your fantasies. Make the most of these stunning surroundings and enjoy stylish and cosy interiors while exploring all that this famous stretch of the Italian coastline has to offer.
