Where would you like to go?

Our focus is Europe and the Mediterranean: countryside, coast, lakes and islands. Explore the guides below, or simply tell us what you have in mind.

Rolling Tuscan hills with a line of cypress trees

Italy

Italy may be the most complete villa destination in the world. Farmhouses in the Tuscan hills, grand old houses on Lake Como, cliffside terraces on the Amalfi Coast and masserie among Puglia's olive trees. Each region is a different trip.

Greece

Greece has thousands of islands, and each has its own character. The Cyclades are white, bright and windswept. The Ionian islands are green and calm. Crete is almost a country of its own.

France

The south of France offers two very different villa holidays. Inland, Provence has stone farmhouses, markets, vineyards and lavender. On the coast, the Côte d'Azur has Belle Époque villas, pine-covered capes and the glamour of Cannes and Saint-Tropez.

Spain

Spain's villa destinations combine easy access, long summers and a relaxed way of life. The Balearic Islands, Mallorca and Ibiza above all, are among Europe's most popular places to rent a villa.

Portugal

Portugal pairs Atlantic beaches with a gentle pace and excellent food and wine. The Algarve is its best-known villa destination, with golden cliffs, long beaches and a long season.

Croatia

Croatia's Adriatic coast is a long line of stone towns, pine-covered islands and very clear water. Walled Dubrovnik, Roman Split and island harbors like Hvar and Korčula make it one of the Mediterranean's most rewarding coastlines to explore.
