Call it The White Lotus effect, or just a return to classic la dolce vita tastes, but all eyes are on Italy for 2023 and beyond. The dream scenario? A sprawling palazzo or farmhouse address to call your own, in Sicily or Tuscany, with a pool, a view, and plenty of room for the whole crew. Then there are the houses, perched high along the Amalfi Coast, supersized trullos in Puglia, and beach-side mansions in Sardinia—it’s little wonder Italy is renowned around the world for its astonishing mix of properties to take over as your own. The villas on this list include grand mansions once owned by aristocrats as well as more pared-back homestays for a small group. Some are blow-the-budget expensive, while others cost from as little as $19 per person per night. But all are smart hideouts in our favorite corners of the country.
