Accommodation: A castle in Zoagli
The 19th century castello on the coast of the Italian Riviera has been featured in numerous Italian and international magazines. It is situated on a cliff overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio between Genoa and La Spezia.

From the towers of the castle owned by the Duke of Zoagli guests can enjoy staggering panoramic views extending across the bay to Portofino. On clear days the northern coast of Corsica is visible in the distance. The location is superb, with the sea on one side of the building and the little town centre of Zoagli on the other. An ancient stairway leads straight down to water's edge.

Views of idyllic Emilia-Romagna: A farm near Monzuno
Views of idyllic Emilia-Romagna: A farm near Monzuno

Accommodation: a farmhouse near Monzuno
When Alice and Daniele discovered the 17th century farm several years ago, the property was in ruins. The pair fell in love with the place nonetheless, captivated by the views of the most beautiful valleys in Emilia Romagna. The estate has since been painstakingly restored and now serves as an exclusive guesthouse with six bedrooms. The rooms are named after various periods of the day and night, and the names are reflected in the décor. The lounge with a log fireplace and the pleasant courtyard complete the picture. Bologna is a 35-minute drive away, or guests may simply choose to relax, read a book, go for a walk, ride a bike or play golf. There is a selection of good trattorias in the vicinity, as well as the golf club restaurant featuring local cuisine.

Peaceful setting: A country estate near Verona

Accommodation: A 15th century country estate
The 15th century residence just 4 km from Verona has been completely restored and the rooms decorated with period furniture. The restoration was designed to preserve the charm of the estate's historical character without sacrificing modern comfort or conveniences such as an Internet connection. The four quiet double rooms with private baths face the residence's historical courtyard. Breakfast featuring homemade pastries and marmalades is served in the garden in warm weather. The tranquil location on the River Adige between Verona and Lake Garda is excellent for excursions to either destination. Owners Roberto and Vittoria are helpful, hospitable and courteous hosts who are more than ready to help guest plan local activities, such as wine-tasting trips to the surrounding wineries of Valpolicella.
