Italy villas

Amalfi, Tuscany, or Puglia: a house first, then the days around it.

Italy is a villa country. A terrace over the sea at Amalfi, a farmhouse in the Tuscan hills, a masseria in Puglia. We choose the house for the group, then plan the boat, the guide, and the tables.

A chef for the week or for selected evenings is arranged in the proposal.

Where we go

Tuscany for hills, vineyards and towns within a short drive; the Amalfi Coast for cliffs, boats and the islands; Puglia for whitewashed towns and empty beaches; the Italian Lakes for water and gardens; Sicily for Greek temples, baroque towns and the best food in the country. Each region has houses with pools, views and staff.

How the week runs

A house as the base and days built around it: a boat along the coast, a cooking lesson in the kitchen, a guide through a town, a long lunch somewhere nobody told you about. A chef for some evenings and a driver for the days that need one. We handle the house, the staff and the days you want organised.

Who it suits and when

Families, groups of friends and multi-generational parties who want rooms for everyone and a table that is theirs. May, June and September for warmth and space; July and August for the full summer, booked well ahead.

Best time
May, June, and September for warm weather without the August crowds. July and August for the sea.
Suits
Multi-generational holidays · Groups of friends sharing one base · Families with young children
