Lazio

Only an hour from Rome, deep in the Sabine Hills, three apartments in an ancient castle hamlet sharing a stunning garden. Dreamy

A 15th-century courtyard hides a petite, chic apartment where contemporary mixes with noble age to stunning effect. Live like the locals

Stylish yet intimate, lavish with silks and designer furnishings, this is five-star pampering yet run with genuine warmth

The comforts of a boutique hotel in a magnificent palazzo near Rome's Campo dei Fiori market; friendly family owners give personal service

A sweet family-run hotel off a cobbled lane in a vibrant area but with peaceful bedrooms wrapped around a courtyard of orange trees

Linger over a fine breakfast and olive grove valley view, borrow a bike, take to the Francigena pilgrim trail, explore medieval Anagni

Live like a local! Modern art, contemporary touches and buzzy night time atmosphere make a super base for exploring the eternal city

Farmhouse B&B with thoughtful hosts and superb breakfasts; Michelin-star dining is in the village and thermal baths are near
