Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting Tuscia area of the province of Viterbo, in the heart of Italy, Montepietraia and San Martino Country House is an exceptional vacation rental comprising 2 independent villas set within a beautifully maintained park and surrounded by a vast organic olive grove known as L'Olivaia. Located between the Roman amphitheater of Sutri and the ancient Via Francigena, this remarkable property sits at the center of 4 volcanic lakes — Bracciano, Vico, Martignano, and Monterosi — offering an atmosphere of rare natural beauty and historical depth. The 2 villas are thoughtfully designed to accommodate families or groups of friends who wish to enjoy both convivial moments and personal privacy, much like life in a small, intimate hamlet where a central square connects and gently separates the 2 residences. Every detail of the interiors has been curated with great taste and attention to functionality and comfort. The property benefits from a generous yard that spans multiple levels, immersed in the colors and fragrances of the surrounding olive grove and ornamental gardens. High-speed Internet WiFi is available throughout the property, ensuring connectivity for all guests. A private covered parking spot is conveniently located directly in front of the main entrances of both villas, offering ease and security for arriving guests.
Outdoors
The park surrounding Montepietraia and San Martino Country House is a true sanctuary of natural beauty, structured across multiple levels and embraced by the expansive olive grove of L'Olivaia. An ancient oak tree provides shade to a Liberty-era gazebo furnished with armchairs and sofas and encircled by roses and rhododendrons, creating an idyllic corner for quiet relaxation. The lawns surrounding the villas are adorned with precious varieties of hydrangeas, azaleas, and lilies-of-the-Nile in a range of colors, while a wrought-iron greenhouse and a furnished terrace occupy one side of the garden. At the center of the property, a charming square shaded by trees features a large rose bed, reinforcing the feel of a private countryside hamlet. A wooden structure within the Sorrentine orange orchard serves as a dedicated greenhouse for protecting citrus fruits. The large porch in front of the garden and pool area is the ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation, and nearby, a brick-built structure is equipped with a barbecue and sink for al fresco cooking. A resin-paved surface in the park accommodates a professional ping-pong table, providing recreational entertainment for guests of all ages. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the color of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The property offers 2 swimming pools, both immersed in the garden directly in front of the villas, available to guests from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. The main pool is a distinctive composition of 2 connected pools with an infinity edge. The first measures 8 x 3.5 m with a depth ranging from 1.20 m to 1.80 m and features 6 decorative fountains, while the second measures 8 x 5 m with a constant depth of 1.20 m. Both are lined in white PVC and accessed via a ladder. The surrounding lawn area is equipped with deck chairs, sunbeds, and small tables. The second swimming pool is rectangular in shape, measuring 5 x 12 m with a constant depth of 1.20 m, lined in PVC with chlorine purification and accessed by a ladder. Its sunbathing terrace, paved in terracotta, is furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, a gazebo with armchairs, and an outdoor dining space complete with a large umbrella, table, and chairs. A solar-heated shower is also available in this pool area. Neither pool is heated.

Property Summary
Villa Irma is an exquisitely renovated vacation rental nestled in the heart of Casciana Terme, in the celebrated Pisan hills of Tuscany, Italy. Recently restored with meticulous attention to every detail, this three-floor residence embodies the elegance of French Art Nouveau style, expressed through its dove grey and ivory exterior walls and stylised rinceaux motifs adorning the windows and glass doors. Indoors, the design journey unfolds through elegant forms, pure colours, and contemporary objets d'art, with luxurious custom-made furniture inspired by refined modernity, exclusive upholstery, and carefully curated accessories that together create an atmosphere of warmth and exceptional comfort. Prestigious Italian herringbone parquet flooring graces the bedrooms and living areas, while the minimalist bathrooms feature king-size showers, suspended fixtures, and original marble slabs sourced from the renowned Carrara quarries. The kitchen presents a total white décor combined with white lacquered wood furniture and a black alabaster worktop of contemporary lines. Decorative stucco ceilings add dynamism and elegance throughout, completing a residence of truly high-profile architectural distinction.
Villa Irma benefits from a fully enclosed park of 1,100 sq m, ensuring complete privacy despite its central location within the town. The property offers a heated swimming pool, a beautifully landscaped yard planted with larches, cypresses, viburnums, rose bushes, hydrangeas, and hibiscus, as well as uncovered parking for up to 4 cars conveniently located near the laundry room. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay.
Outdoors
The 1,100 sq m park of Villa Irma is laid out in a revisited Baroque style, with large areas of lawn interspersed with sandstone, grit, and gravel paving. Majestic larches and cypresses provide generous natural shade, while viburnums, rose bushes, hydrangeas, and hibiscus add colour and fragrance throughout the seasons. A large Baroque fountain featuring horses and shells welcomes guests at the main entrance, and stone statues are thoughtfully integrated throughout the grounds, lending the garden an impressive and distinguished character. The entire property is fully enclosed: along the sides bordering neighbouring buildings, a perimeter wall is softened by bamboo plants and vines, while the sides facing the road and avenue are bordered by railings and hedges of young red robin photinias, typical of noble residences. From the road, an automatic entrance gate leads to a stabilised white gravel driveway connecting to the parking area. A separate pedestrian gate opens onto the tree-lined avenue that links the villa to the spa along a pleasant walk through the residential area of Cafaggio.
The swimming pool is situated on the same level as the ground floor, approximately 30 metres away, reached via the gravel driveway and lawn and then up a few stone steps.

Both the pool and solarium are equipped with lighting, and piped music enhances the atmosphere of this outdoor retreat.
The external dining area, connected directly to the interior dining room and therefore conveniently close to the kitchen, is set up with umbrellas, a barbecue, and a dining table, making it an ideal space for alfresco meals.

Property Summary
Antica Villa Merelli is a prestigious 16th-century manor house nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, offering an extraordinary vacation rental experience in one of the region's most enchanting settings. Situated on a gentle hill approximately 250 metres above sea level, halfway between the medieval borgo of Monte San Savino and the historic city of Arezzo, this magnificent property spans approximately 800 square metres across the main villa, complemented by an annex divided into 2 independent apartments of 100 square metres each. The villa has been meticulously renovated by its current owners, who have preserved the original 16th-century architecture while introducing every modern comfort, using noble materials such as marble for the splendid floors, pietra serena for decorative elements, and an imposing stone staircase that connects the three floors of the residence. The love for art permeates every corner of the property, from the magnificent entrance hall fresco — a scale reproduction of a panel from the celebrated "Legend of the True Cross" cycle by Piero della Francesca — to the hand-painted doors of the main villa, each uniquely decorated by local artists with reproductions of famous Italian and European masterpieces. Guests enjoy access to a spectacular 25-metre swimming pool with an infinity edge and salt purification system, a well-maintained synthetic-grass tennis court, and a beautifully landscaped yard extending across approximately 7,000 square metres of fenced garden, rich with centuries-old holm oaks, rose gardens, and fragrant jasmine pergolas.

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Le Colombelline is an exceptional vacation rental offering an unparalleled experience in one of Italy's most celebrated landscapes. Situated just 4 km from the historic borgo of Montepulciano, this magnificently restored 18th-century farmhouse stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of traditional Tuscan architecture and thoughtful contemporary design. Built originally as a farmhouse dedicated to the cultivation of cereals, olive trees, and pastures, Le Colombelline has been carefully and skilfully renovated to preserve its authentic character while introducing refined modern comforts, making it an ideal retreat for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking an exclusive countryside escape in Italy.

Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi internet access, a dedicated 4-car open-air parking area conveniently located just outside the property where two local dirt roads converge, and an expansive yard of approximately 1,800 sq m of manicured lawn surrounding the house and swimming pool, enriched with olive trees, holm oaks, cypresses, rosemary, aromatic herbs, and laurels. The property extends across approximately 15 hectares of unfenced terrain encompassing vineyards and arable land, offering a sense of space, privacy, and immersion in the authentic Tuscan countryside that is truly rare. Le Colombelline has been subjected to a thorough check-up by a technical responsible before the beginning of the season to ensure consistency of the description, accessories listed, and their present state of operation and maintenance, guaranteeing quality, cleanliness, and comfort to all guests.

Nestled on the scenic Collina di Megli, a predominantly residential hillside overlooking the Ligurian coast, Villa Baia Blu is an exceptional vacation rental that masterfully blends historic character with contemporary comfort in the heart of Recco, Italy. Originally a farmhouse divided into a main house and a caretaker's annex, this two-storey villa was completely renovated using high-quality modern materials while preserving select original period elements, resulting in a residence of rare elegance and authenticity. From its commanding elevated position, the property offers breathtaking panoramic views over the entire Golfo Paradiso, the town of Recco and its beach, and the final headland of Monte di Portofino within the Natural Marine Park. The villa is set within a large, fully fenced private park of approximately 4,000 square metres, where the vibrant green of manicured lawns contrasts beautifully with the deep blue of the sea visible from virtually every corner of the estate. Guests benefit from private parking, accessible directly from the rear of the property and reachable without steps to the first floor of the main villa. A high-speed Wi-Fi internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring seamless connectivity during your stay. The expansive yard, planted with olive trees and adorned with Mediterranean flower beds and aromatic herbs, creates a serene and picturesque setting that perfectly complements the villa's panoramic outlook.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Baia Blu are as impressive as the interior, offering a variety of environments designed for relaxation, dining, and recreation against a backdrop of extraordinary natural beauty. The property's grounds extend across terraced land sloping gently down toward the front of the villa, with the central outdoor area being entirely flat and bathed in sunlight throughout the day. The rectangular swimming pool, situated approximately 30 metres from the villa on the lawn to its right and on the same level as the ground floor living room, measures 10 x 4 metres with a constant depth of 1.20 metres. Lined in an intense sea-blue PVC finish and framed by a white travertine border, the pool features salt purification and semi-circular Roman steps for elegant water access. The pool is non-heated and is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. The sunbathing area surrounding the pool is laid entirely in English lawn, shaded by olive trees, and equipped with sun loungers and tables. An outdoor cold-water shower, a half bath, and both external and internal lighting complete the pool area's facilities. A pleasant portico adjacent to the ground floor living room of the main villa has been arranged as a comfortable lounge area, ideal for relaxing in the shade while enjoying the views. The panoramic terrace accessed directly from the upper-floor kitchen is fully equipped as an outdoor dining area with a table seating 12 guests. A gas barbecue is conveniently positioned near the door entrance in the corridor leading to the kitchen. Flower beds and fragrant herbs frame the entire Mediterranean garden, which faces the sea and is planted with olive trees throughout. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden's grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
