Vacation rentals in Italy


The perfect stay
in Italy

Majestic metropolises, miles of glittering coastline, and myriad sleepy stone villages brimming with rustic eateries await in Italy. The glorious Mediterranean nation offers visitors a tantalising mix of blissful relaxation and vibrant culture. Prepare to uncover a multitude of monuments in its historic cities. There are also several idyllic islands to explore, each one blessed with golden beaches and some of the most luxurious holiday villas in Italy.

A delightful range of destinations and the chance to savour la dolce vita puts Italy high up on our list of unmissable European escapes. From the dramatic clifftop towns and sparkling coves of the Amalfi Coast to the huge swathes of shore in pretty Puglia, there’s no shortage of lovely locations for a luxury Italian villa escape. Rather soak up centuries of rich culture? Get lost in Rome’s ancient streets and admire the endless exquisite architecture. Tuscany is also teeming with treasures, from Renaissance-era masterpieces in Florence to lush vineyards scattered around serene Siena.

Alternatively, booking a villa near Lake Como gives you access to Lombardy’s tranquil alpine towns and magnificent peaks. Sardinia and Sicily are also sublime. Picture sleepy villages enveloped by fragrant lemon groves and photogenic harbours where you can sample fresh seafood delights. Breathtaking scenery, fabulous festivals, and countless cultural gems make Italy the perfect base for a memorable Mediterranean holiday.

Best time to go

  • During spring: spring is a delightful time to book a villa in Italy’s central or southern regions. Temperatures sit comfortably in the 20s°C (70s°F) by early May, making it a popular time to explore the nation’s attraction-packed cities. While you can still expect chillier climes and the occasional rain shower in the Italian Alps, cities in the north become alive with wonderful festivals like Verona’s culinary-themed VinItaly.

  • During summer: Italian summers are lusciously long and blessed with balmy weather conditions. Temperatures typically range from 25°C to 38°C (77°F to 100°F) during the day, with southern Italy experiencing the most sunshine. Keep an eye out for heatwave warnings, and always carry suncream. If you can drag yourself away from the beach, you’ll discover several delightful festivals, including Ravello Music Festival along the Amalfi Coast and the joyful Festa dei Ranieri in Pisa.

  • During autumn: warm yet pleasant temperatures and quieter beaches make early autumn a lovely time to visit Italy’s coastal regions. Nevertheless, the weather can be unpredictable at times, so an umbrella is essential. Notable events during this season include Venice Film Festival, Naples’ religious San Gennaro Festival, and numerous Tuscan food celebrations. Note that some destinations, such as the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, close their beaches in late October and don’t reopen them to the public until April.

  • During winter: frosty scenery, especially in northern Italy, and an eclectic mix of festivals make winter a brilliant time to visit for a touch of culture. Staying in a luxury villa in Italy’s Lake Como region provides opportunities for world-class alpine skiing, too.

How to get there

Make the journey as memorable as the arrival. Your dedicated concierge can arrange transportation from the closest airport or train station to your Italian vacation rental.

By plane

Most major Italian cities have their own international airports which offer both charter flights and facilities for private jets. Once you’ve landed at your chosen airport, your concierge can arrange either a rental car or a private transfer to take you to your Italy villa.

By train

A fast and well-connected rail network makes navigating Italy by train a brilliant option. Settle down in spacious carriages and speed past some of Europe’s most astounding scenery. As well as inter-city services, there are several cross-border routes if you’re travelling from France, Austria, Greece or Spain.

By boat

Numerous cruise operators include Italy on their travel routes, allowing you to easily begin or end a Mediterranean sail with a week or so in a luxury vacation rental in Italy. Regular ferry services also link Sardinia or Sicily to mainland Italy and other nearby European ports. What’s more, Italy’s islands and coastlines are a paradise for yachting expeditions, so why not enquire with your dedicated concierge about chartering a vessel?

By car

Italy is generally a good place to drive, especially if you’re staying beyond its busy cities. The road system is vast and well-maintained, and there are plenty of car rental options. If you’re spending your getaway in one of our luxury villa rentals in Italy, your concierge will be able to arrange car hire from your arrival airport, station or port.
