Italy 
Villa Holidays

If you want more space than a hotel gives you, and more control over how your holiday runs, a private villa is the answer. Your own pool. Your own kitchen if you want to use it. Room for the whole family or group to actually spend time together, and space to get away from each other when you need to.

We put together villa holidays across Italy’s key holiday resorts include Rimini, one of the country’s best-known Adriatic beach resorts, with a long sandy coastline and lively nightlife; Jesolo, a popular family-friendly resort near Venice; Lido di Jesolo; Sorrento, famed for its cliff-top setting, views across the Bay of Naples and proximity to Capri and the Amalfi Coast; Amalfi and Positano, renowned for their dramatic coastal scenery and picturesque villages; Taormina, a sophisticated Sicilian resort known for its historic centre, sea views and nearby beaches; Cefalù, offering a sandy beach alongside a charming historic town; Alghero and Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, known for beaches, clear waters and upscale resorts; Tropea in Calabria, celebrated for its hilltop old town and beaches; and Lignano Sabbiadoro, a popular family resort on the northern Adriatic.

Every property is one we've either visited, vetted through a trusted partner, or checked thoroughly before we recommend it. We don't work from a catalogue of thousands of villas we've never seen — we work from a shorter list we're confident in.

What's included in a villa holiday with us

• A property matched to your group size, budget and what you actually want from the trip
• Flights, transfers and car hire arranged around the villa, not booked separately and hoped for
• Local knowledge — restaurants, beaches, activities, and what to avoid
• One point of contact throughout, before you travel and while you're away
• Support if anything changes or goes wrong, without you having to chase three different suppliers

Who villa holidays suit

Families who want space without giving up comfort. Groups of friends splitting a property rather than booking separate hotel rooms. Couples who want a private base to explore a region from. If a hotel room has started to feel like a compromise, a villa usually solves it.
