The southernmost part of Tuscany is known as the Maremma. It’s not on most visitors’ radars, but it brims with authenticity, inspiring landscapes, and historic towns. This South Tuscany itinerary spends a week working through that lower half of the region: its coastline, its islands, and the inland hills that many skip past entirely.

Northern Tuscany distils so much of what makes the region irresistible. Renaissance masterpieces and medieval hill towns sit within easy reach of a coastline that stretches for more than 100 miles, where elegant beach resorts, dune-backed sands and hidden corners of the Tyrrhenian Sea offer a different rhythm altogether.

Deciding where to stay in Paros will set the rhythm of your trip. This is an island of genuine contrasts: a whitewashed harbour town built for long, wine-soaked dinners and lantern-lit late walks; sheltered family beaches with barely a ripple, and a sun-bleached south coast that windsurfers cross oceans for.

Corfu moves at several different tempos at once: a fortified old town built for wandering, an interior of olive groves and forgotten villages, and a northeastern coast made up of quiet bays. This 7-day Corfu itinerary threads all three together, based from the island's north, with day trips out to the south and west along the way.

Maizie Farkas, our Head of Private Clients & Partnerships, recently travelled to the Greek island of Spetses for a family wedding. While there, she took the opportunity to visit some of our villas, spend time with our local specialists, and explore two of our other destinations nearby, Porto Heli and Hydra.

We wish Dua Lipa and Callum Turner all the very best after their much-talked-about wedding celebrations in Palermo and Bagheria during the first week of June 2026. The fact that the happy couple chose Sicily for a romantic, three-day, VIP-studded party should not come as a surprise, however, because the island has been attracting the great and the good for centuries. Read on to find out more about which big names have visited, lived in, and fallen in love with Sicily over the last 400 years.

Southern Sardinia spans a dramatic breadth, from the eastern shores of Capo Ferrato and Costa Rei across to the island of San Pietro in the far west. This is a region where layers of history accumulate: Nuragic stone towers, Phoenician ports, Roman amphitheatres, all set against a backdrop of green hills that taper down to crystalline coves and expansive stretches of fine sand. While the Costa Smeralda to the north draws a glamorous crowd, the south of Sardinia appeals to those in search of something simpler, authentic and more grounded.

North Sardinia has an alluring sparkle that draws travellers from across the globe. Along its northeastern edge, charcoal rockfaces cascade into water of almost implausible clarity, maquis-rich slopes perfume the air, and a coastline of chalk-white and pink sand and translucent inlets unfold in near-unbroken succession.

We pride ourselves on knowing our destinations inside out. Our villas are not just places to stay; they are gateways to a slower, more thoughtful way of travelling. From Sicily’s sun-drenched coastlines to the understated elegance of the Greek islands, our team spends time in every destination we offer. Somewhere between the early morning market visits and long, languid dinners, we’ve picked up an idea or two about how to pack well for a truly memorable villa holiday. Packing, as it turns out, is less about what you bring and more about how you prepare to experience a place. Here, we reveal our expert’s packing tips for stress-free villa travel: thoughtful, practical, and shaped by years of exploring the Mediterranean.

Whitewashed villages, archaeological wonders and ethereal, sandy coves make this Cyclades island-hopping itinerary a stellar introduction to the Aegean. Structured across two weeks, it moves with a natural pace between well-known islands and quieter stops, delicately balancing time on the water with moments enjoying the wonders ashore.

With Christopher Nolan’s greatly anticipated film of The Odyssey due for release in July 2026, several of our gorgeous destinations will once more be gracing cinema screens across the world. In anticipation, we’ve taken a closer look at some of the locations that have inspired the Oscar-winning director. The film’s all-star cast, which includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron, spent many months (though not 10 years) traversing the heart of the Mediterranean, and we’re delighted that so many scenes were shot in places we love.

Rare beauty, layered history and a coastline that shifts from granite coves to sweeping white sands make this Corsica itinerary an immersive introduction to the island’s south. Structured day by day, it follows a natural rhythm between coast, culture and inland landscapes, with space to slow down where it matters.
