Casa M 101

Settle into a life-affirming stay in the Ostuni countryside with this artfully-designed villa. A low profile, complete with ample space and fine interiors will match the highest expectations, as will the cozy wood fireplace, tree-wrapped terrace and rustic bedrooms; a true mix of new and old. The old-world towns of Cisternino and Martina Franca are a short drive through enchanting countryside. Begin your day with a refreshing swim in the lengthy pool that partners this luxurious villa, before emerging and relaxing on the shaded sun recliners. It’s the simplicity yet finery of the property that helps it to stand out so well, with the stone floors and wooden panelled walls providing a cleanly defined and modern-feeling space for friends or family to relax in. A brilliantly polished dining table, rich furniture and cast-iron fireplace helps to round out the attractive interiors, while dry-stone walls splash a touch of Italian countryside character for guests to wake up to. The huge, carved benches and tables of the villa’s gardens are the real star of the property, providing a comfortable and natural gathering space for groups, all under the leafy limbs of the property’s almond trees.   Despite being located in peaceful Italian countryside, guests can take advantage of close access to a number of renowned Italian towns, as well as the delights of the Ostuni coastline. It’s hard not to fall in love with nearby Cisternino, which seems frozen in time with its white houses, winding streets and classic piazzas. Guests are less than 20 minutes from a range of sandy beaches, with the Adriatic sunshine and plenty of great swimming options, while the medieval charm and glorious seasonal processions of Ceglie Messapica are also close by. After a packed day, embrace a glass of Brindisi Rosso wine by the glowing fire pit at the villa. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Perched on the Amalfi Coast near Conca dei Marini, this gorgeous vacation rental offers a spectacular location for an Italian getaway. Reserve its three bedrooms for a holiday with family, an escape with friends or even a sun-kissed honeymoon.

There are lemon trees and vegetable gardens (to whose produce guests are welcome), an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, a seasonal saltwater pool and a swimming deck at the shoreline. Inside, a blue and white color scheme is a nod to the seaside location of this luxury property. The tiled floors were handmade in Vietri and flow throughout both living rooms and the fully equipped kitchen. Both sitting areas have TVs, and Wi-Fi is available in both the indoor and outdoor living areas. The three bedrooms at Villa Elizabeth are divided between two separate “cottage” areas; all three have double beds and sea views. The first cottage has one bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and one with a shared hall bathroom, and the second has a primary suite with a shared hall bathroom and its own terrace. The second cottage also has an additional double bed, if extra accommodations are needed. The villa is set just off the road between Amalfi and Positano, a short distance from the scenic beach at the Fiordo of Furore, making it easy to spend a day exploring both towns and the glorious coastline in between. It’s also possible to rent a boat and leave right from the villa’s sea-level deck on an excursion to Positano or Capri. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
