To mark Valentine’s Day, we thought we’d share details of some of our most romantic villas in Italy. I think we can all agree that Italy is one of the most romantic countries to holiday in. After all, it was home to three of the most romantic figures of all time – Romeo and Juliet, Casanova (one of the world’s most famous lovers) and St Valentine himself. We’ve already shared with you our views on the most romantic places to visit in Italy – Verona, Florence and Rome were among them along with a few surprises! But now we thought it was time to share our guide to the most romantic villas in Italy with you too. So, if you’re looking to spend a holiday in Italy with someone very close to your heart, look no further! This is the list of Italy villa rentals that you will need to refer to!
Oh… and for those who are single amongst you. Don’t worry – we reckon these villa rentals in Italy will work just as well for two people travelling together on a strictly platonic basis!!
Lakeside Apartment, San Mamete, Lake Lugano
San Mamete is a charming and authentic lakeside town on the shores of Lake Lugano. Whilst nestled on the Italian side of the lake, it’s only a 15 minute drive to the rather swanky and exclusive Swiss town of Lugano, home to a plethora of designer stores, casinos and posh restaurants. After you have shopped until you dropped, what better spot can there possibly to enjoy an aperitivo or an evening meal together than on your own private terrace overlooking the lake, watching the sun set and the stars come out. Settings don’t get much more romantic than this.

We’re firm believers that you should be able to put you feet up on holiday and at this Umbria villa you won’t need to lift a finger. Gaze out of the window to one side and you’ll be drooling over the incredible rolling hills of Umbria but, step outside the garden gate on the other and you’re right in the heart of Spello. Here you’ll find an impressive array of restaurants, all serving top notch food. So if you fancy having your three meals a day prepared by someone else, that’s no problem at all! For two friends travelling together, you also have the added bonus of enjoying a bedroom each should you wish to.

We make no secret of the fact that we think Florence is one of the most romantic cities in the world. And, when it comes to an apartment in Florence, they don’t get much better than this one! Situated in the San Frediano district of the city (recently named one of the coolest in the world by the Lonely Planet Travel guide), this apartment is perfectly placed for exploring all the sites that the city has to offer, but is situated round the corner from a plethora of fantastic restaurants, bars and cafes where you can wine and dine your loved one. And, if you’re staying in the warmer Spring and Summer months, you will love the romantic private courtyard.

We love this villa in the Italian Lakes. Whilst it works brilliantly for small families, we also think it’s ideal for couples. The villa is set within the most enchanting mature gardens. But step outside the garden gate and you’re at the lakeside with all that this offers – wonderful beaches, great restaurants and buzzing bars and cafes. New to the rental market in 2021, it’s in tip top condition and, not surprisingly, has already proved to be one of our most popular villa rentals in Italy.
