Salema Alegria Beach House, Algarve

4 bedrooms | Sleeps 8

Salema Alegria is a sleek, contemporary villa nestled on a hillside overlooking a kilometre-long golden beach in Portugal’s Algarve region. Stay here and you’re only ever a stone’s throw from the sea. You’re also just a stroll from the traditional fishing village of Salema, known for its whitewashed houses and charming seafood restaurants.

Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the property’s proximity to the coast magnificently. The garden, the pool and the outdoor terraces offer more scenic vantage points. The stunning views continue into the strikingly modern living room, the state-of-the-art kitchen and the four clutter-free en suites — evenly split across two storeys.

Galé Hibiscus Beach House, Algarve

5 bedrooms | Sleeps 10

This luxurious, low-slung villa puts you steps away from the golden sands of Galé beach on Portugal’s attractive Algarve coast. You’re also just a few kilometres from the lively city of Albufeira.

Enjoy the property’s seamless outdoor spaces, from the immaculate lawn, to the pool and terrace with sun loungers and hammocks, to the alfresco dining area with portico. Indoors, dashes of aquamarine accompany the muted palette of whites and creams, and decorative shells sit alongside woven furnishings and wood furniture, all helping to reflect the organic beauty of the villa’s coastal setting. There are five en-suite bedrooms in all, one of which is smaller and so perfectly suited to young children.

Le Spectre, Tuscany

5 bedrooms | Sleeps 10

Not all Tuscan villas remain rooted to the region’s rustic past. Le Spectre embraces the present, with a cool, contemporary design brimming with statement pieces — from colourful artworks and curvaceous walls to an illuminated staircase. Welcome surprises lie around every corner.

None of that distracts from the spectacular setting, however — one of verdant hills, medieval spires and olive groves. When you aren’t admiring it through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the view from the terrace, outdoor dining area or 24-metre infinity pool. Then head out into it, exploring nearby villages and wineries. Lucca is only 15 kilometres away.

Chateau des Vignes, Bordeaux

8 bedrooms | Sleeps 16

Located among its own vines in one of the world’s most notable wine regions, Chateau des Vignes is a beautifully renovated 19th-century chateau. Set in 40 acres of woodland, the estate features its own vineyard, a luxurious swimming pool and a private tennis court. Enjoy al fresco dining on the covered terrace, or for fine dining, request the services of the personal chef and dine in the gracious dining room.

Inside the Chateau, the living spaces and bedroom suites – featuring hand-printed wallpapers and rare fabric prints – all centre around the magnificent spiral staircase. Each suite boasts beautiful countryside views through oversized windows, and vintage free-standing bathtubs complete the enveloping sense of indulgence – two suites even have their own private sauna.
