Every year, we invite independent travel specialists from all over the world to stay at some of our boutique portfolio of luxury villas in Italy. Our list of very special places to stay in Italy includes a 17th-century Palladian villa with frescoes, a period palazzo where the neoclassical sculptor Canova once lived, and a villa on the wine estate of a Florentine prince, among many others.
This Featured Villas Collection includes only villas with an expert traveller stamp of approval.
Do you want to read more of their honest, unbiased reviews? We created a special page where you can browse what Forbes, The Times and many other respected publications around the world have written about us — and our unique collection of luxury villas in Italy.
And remember: our award-winning concierge team can handle just about any request, before and during your stay in Italy. From a local chef for a birthday dinner at your Italian holiday rental, to cooking classes, an early morning truffle hunt or a yoga teacher, we can arrange it all.
