Thanks to our range of gorgeous villas spread across Italy, Greece and Corsica, we can help with longer-stay holidays in two or more of our alluring destinations.

Puglia, the sun-drenched heel of Italy's boot, remains one of the country's most enchanting yet underexplored regions. Whilst millions flock to Rome and Venice, this southern paradise offers something increasingly rare: authentic Italian culture, pristine coastline, and medieval villages untouched by mass tourism. With over 800 kilometres of coastline, baroque cities, ancient olive groves, and world-class cuisine, Puglia rewards those who venture beyond the well-trodden path.

When summer crowds disperse and temperatures settle into comfortable warmth, the Mediterranean reveals its most authentic character. An autumn holiday offers something truly special: the perfect balance of pleasant weather, genuine cultural experiences, and the space to truly savour each moment. From the olive groves of Puglia to the turquoise waters of the Greek islands, autumn transforms these legendary destinations into peaceful sanctuaries where luxury meets tranquillity.
