The interiors feature an elegant mix of contemporary furnishings and traditional whitewashed, pared-back Puglian style—but the real star is the huge swimming pool outside, which offers up sweeping views of the estate’s olive trees and the Adriatic Sea beyond. When not luxuriating on the property, guests can head into town to lounge at the villa’s private beach club.
The Boat House -Lake Como is always a good idea—and this year, forgo the region’s ornate villas for a modern marvel: the brand-new Boat House.

The structure’s industrial roots have been expertly mixed with sleek, contemporary furniture and seriously luxe amenities ranging from a spa and elevator to a full staff. The expansive teak deck boasts sweeping views of the lake, a heated swimming pool, and, of course, a place to moor your speedboat.
Il Maniero - Sip limoncello like a local by checking into Il Maniero on Italy’s iconic Amalfi Coast. The property dates back to the 16th century, when it was used as a lookout to protect nearby Positano from marauders. Today, it has just emerged from a 9-year renovation. Inside, guests will find traditional Italian decor, four bedrooms, and plenty of perches offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean.
