Your escape awaits

Voting has officially opened for the 2026 Condé Nast Traveller's Readers' Choice Awards, and as we approach a very special milestone, 25 years of The Thinking Traveller, we would love nothing more than to continue this journey into next year with your support. Having been honoured with this award ten times already, we are incredibly proud and grateful and are hoping for an eleventh win as ‘Best Homestay or Villa Rental Company’.

Many of our most sought-after villas are now taking bookings for 2027. At 2026 prices. In a world where travel costs continue to climb, locking in next year’s escape at this year’s rates is a rare opportunity. Whether you’re drawn back to a long-loved favourite or considering somewhere new, to guarantee your dream villa for 2027 at 2026 prices, you’ll need to book by 30th June.

Whether celebrating a milestone birthday, a special anniversary, or simply reconnecting, our large villas provide the perfect backdrop to create memories with loved ones. Some homes come with housekeepers and cooks included, while others can be enhanced with tailored experiences and services.

Discover Puglia, a region of striking contrasts. In the south, Salento meets the Adriatic and Ionian seas with crystalline waters, hidden coves and baroque towns. Inland, the Valle d’Itria unfolds in vineyard-laced hills and dry-stone walls, punctuated by whitewashed towns such as Alberobello with its iconic Trulli rooftops.

Our most requested destination has launched. Legendary white-sand beaches and electric-blue waters meet authentic mountain villages, rich history, and natural beauty. Our new, hand-picked collection of villas offer exclusive coastal living and bespoke experiences, making Sardinia an irresistible location.

If you'd like to bring your loyal four-legged friend to one of our villas with you, this collection includes properties with a dog-friendly pedigree.
