Luxury rentals in South Italy

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.

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.

Villa Hibiscus

Surround yourself with inspiring views of the Amalfi Coast and World-famous beaches at this clifftop home in Capri. Sip Italian wine at the alfresco dining set as the sun sets over the bay below. For dinner, craft the perfect pie in the pizza oven on the terrace or grill up something fresh from a local market on the barbecue. After, walk 10 minutes down to the village of Capri for lively nightlife. Combining a few simple, high-quality ingredients is often the best way to create a delicious meal, and the same rings true with Hibiscus Capri’s decor. Elegant white meets warm wood tones, all atop intricate marble floors. With fragrant gardens, a wood-burning fireplace, and moonlit ocean-views, romance is always in the air. After making dinner together in the cozy kitchen, dine outside next to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Like most homes on the Capri coast, Hibiscus is only accessible by foot, so privacy is not an issue at this gated property. Stretch out in a sun lounger on the terrace and work on that vacation tan. Enjoy your morning Nespresso in the shade while you catch up on some reading, glancing away now and then to check out the sailboats in the bay below. Start your day with a stroll along the shore of Spiaggia di Marina Piccola, 8 minutes away. After, visit the cafes and bakeries of Capri for a late breakfast. Then, walk across Via Camerelle for high-end shopping in some of the World’s most prestigious fashion houses.
