Straight out of a fairy tale, a rustic cottage by a babbling brook: a magical escape for couples, the craggy coast in easy reach

Lawns, paths and walnut trees, rolling views in every direction... a serene place to stay in every season. Sweet luxury for a big family!

Few inns can rival the scale or history of this one. Dogs doze by the inglenook, food is sourced from local suppliers, bedrooms are gorgeous

An enchanting escape immersed in nature yet only 40 minutes by train into the Eternal City for art and history-filled days

A special little house, renovated with huge style, filled with beautiful objects and with a delightfully quiet and secluded private garden

Step back in time at this wonderfully authentic château, loved deeply by its owners - 25km from Beaune and the Route des Grands Crus

Tranquil manor house deep in Bordeaux wine region with six acres of grounds, a tennis court and swimming pool

A privately-owned cottage, full of interesting things, on tranquil farmland within the NT Stackpole Estate a 20-minute walk to the coast

A sleek space designed with the majestic surroundings in mind. You have your own private barbecue area and a shared large garden

A really well thought-out escape for a small family with children. A big garden, pool, petanque court and play barn for indoor fun
