Over 20 years of memorable villa holidays across Italy

Summer doesn't have to end just yet

As the days get cooler at home, Italy is settling into one of its loveliest times of year.

Think warm sunshine, quieter beaches, long lunches, beautiful towns without the summer crowds and evenings spent outside with a glass of something chilled.

If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, here are some of our favourite places for an autumn escape…

Sicily

For the best chance of late sunshine

Perfect for: sunshine • beaches • sightseeing • food & wine • couples & families

If warmth is at the top of your wish list, head south.

Sicily is wonderful in September and October, when the intense heat of summer has softened but there are still plenty of bright, sunny days.

Explore Taormina, wander the streets of Syracuse and Ortigia, discover the slopes of Mount Etna, visit local markets and vineyards – or simply find a sunny terrace and enjoy the slower pace of Sicilian life.

And on those lovely warm autumn days, you may even squeeze in another swim in the Mediterranean.

Puglia

Slow down and savour autumn

Perfect for: foodies • exploring • romantic escapes • countryside • authentic Italy

Puglia takes on a completely different feel once the height of summer has passed.

The beautiful whitewashed towns of Ostuni, Alberobello and Locorotondo are quieter, the countryside is changing colour and autumn brings harvest season, local food, vineyards and olive groves into their own. Spend your days exploring historic towns, walking along the coast and enjoying long lunches without the summer rush.

Amalfi Coast

All the beauty, fewer crowds

Perfect for: spectacular views • couples • sightseeing • special occasions

Imagine Positano, Amalfi and Ravello without the height-of-summer crowds.



Early autumn can be a gorgeous time to explore the coast, whether you’re taking a boat trip, visiting beautiful villages, enjoying lunch overlooking the sea or simply sitting on your villa terrace watching the sun go down.

AND WHAT ABOUT A HEATED POOL?

Love an autumn villa holiday but don’t fancy braving a chilly swimming pool?

We have a selection of beautiful Italian villas offering heated pools, indoor pools and wellness facilities – perfect for extending the villa season beyond summer.

Imagine sightseeing during the day, then returning to your own private villa for a warm swim as the sun goes down.
