‘Clients are encouraged to discuss their specific requirements with experienced members of our reservations team', says the company, which has more than 400 properties. The brochure offers information about local events and festivals to help clients choose the time to visit.

Where

Amalfi coast, Apulia, Tuscany including coast, Cinque Terre, Florence, The Lakes, The Marches, Rome, Lazio, Sicily, Umbria and Venice.

Style

Villas, cottages and farmhouses, some of the latter divided into apartments with shared facilities. ‘We prefer not to offer ‘purpose-built' holidays homes,' says the brochure, providing instead, ‘holiday properties of character away from the busy holiday resorts. Many properties are the owner's own home and concessions may have to be made for the foibles of older properties in the countryside, for personal taste and the local lifestyle.' The beds may not be of the width you are used to, access road untarmacked, and electric kettles rare. The range includes villas, cottages and farmhouses, interesting and well decorated properties, around 70% either with pool or access to one.

Season

Generally April to October though there are some low season short breaks to a handful of properties.

Facilities

Cots available at around 80% of properties. High chairs are available or can be arranged at most.

Extras

A handful of properties could arrange extra maid service. Italian cookery courses are offered at a number of properties in Tuscany and Umbria.

Sample Price

An apartment for four near Lake Trasimeno in Umbria with shared pool and the option of meals in the owner's restaurant costs from £626 per property for a week in high season, price including car hire. Flights can also be arranged.
