The lesser-known neighbour to Lake Como, Lake Orta is a hidden gem that boasts stunning views, charming villages, and a peaceful atmosphere.
The lush estate is a haven in the hills near Costa Blanca, a coastal region in southeastern Spain home to many Blue Flag beaches and boasting over 300 days of sunshine each year.
The elegant country house offers south-facing views over the parkland and is set in 45 acres of private grounds, with gardens originally planned by Capability Brown in 1768.
The Monferrato wine country property comes with three authentic ‘infernot’ cellars, ideal for storing the most precious wines. These UNESCO-recognized caves were dug underground by hand in the “pietra da cantoni”, unique geological formations typical in this region of Italy.
This 58.5 acre French country estate presents a unique opportunity with its idyllic setting near the Provencal village of Bargemon.
A former royal paper mill, the Provencal property was built between 1683 and 1687 by royal edict of King Louis XIV and is within walking distance to the centre of Jouques, a medieval village north of Aix-en-Provence.
Dating back to the 1100s, this medieval castle was built on the remains of an old Roman fort and is set in 7.41 acres of grounds in the heart of the Chianti countryside, just a few miles from Florence.
The 16th century Elizabethan manor house is set in an impressive 545-acre estate within the Trough of Bowland Area of Natural Beauty, a region considered one of England’s most rural and unspoilt counties.
Nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Val di Chiana and Val d'Orcia, this 18th century Tuscan villa was completely restored in 2006, transforming the historic residence into the ultimate luxury retreat.
