A sun-soaked and secluded spot, the space is located at the end of an undisturbed dirt road near the picturesque village of Santa Bárbara de Nexe.

The Venue: Once upon a time, Casa Luum was a dilapidated old ruin. Today, through the vision of architect Pedro Dominigos, it stands as a refined and refreshed space that boldly complements its expansive outdoors with whitewashed walls, concrete floors, wood and hand-woven textiles. With the symbolic integration of locally-sourced materials, floor-length doors and windows that drink in the natural light, and potted greenery, it offers an architectural personification of its natural Portuguese surroundings.

With a top floor living room that connects to a huge roof terrace, plenty of outdoor patios for hosting dinner parties beneath the stars and a vast courtyard that’s lined by a wide open-air swimming pool, guests are invited to flow freely through the multidimensional space. There’s also a fireplace and large kitchen island for alternative hosting environments.

Costing: Prices range from 1,550 — 4,680 EUR for one week’s hire, depending on the season.

The Location: Resting in the green outback of the small town of Diso in Salento, Il Tabacchificio is buried within the lush depths of many silvery olive trees which stand just outside its four walls. Close to a string of sandy beaches (with a distance of 5km from the Adriatic Sea), a stretch of seafront towns, such as Castro and Otranto, and sleepy historic villages, its location presents a unique, alfresco amalgamation of the great Italian outdoors.

The Venue: Having once stood as a 1930’s tobacco storehouse, this villa has been reimagined by architect Raffaele Centonze. Today, it exists as a balanced, seamless space that’s structured by industrial elements such as metal and glass finishes, and quartz concrete floors. Inside, the flowing space is defined by the Japanese concept of wabi sabi – evident through a mix of contemporary and collectable pieces which celebrate the interaction of beauty, simplicity and imperfection.

Accommodation: Suitable for hosting the reception of an intimate ceremony, the home can house up to twelve guests with six spacious ensuite bedrooms. As boundless as it is breathtaking, each bedroom echoes the rest of the home through a stylish blend of cult vintage design and local interior pieces.

Guests can follow the open plan corridor to discover a home cinema and indoor eating area (complete with a reclaimed wood dinner table), as well as plenty of private nooks for a quiet moment of reflection. Outside, the landscaped exterior is punctuated by a large pool, professional BBQ, tennis court and ping pong table. Guests can also request a private chef.

Costing: Per week, prices range from 10,000 — 21,700 depending on the season.

The Location: Maison Kamari is a 180m² house built on a 4000m² plot and located in Paros. The love child of the local Greek architects who collaborated on the 2016 build, it can be found in the Kamari settlement of the island – a place that’s culturally defined as a mix of traditional Cycladic energy and the charm of the Greek countryside. Alongside its rolling landscape of rocky hills, olive trees and herbaceous shrubs, it’s a five minute drive from the beaches of Farangas Bay. Also close by is the elegant fishing village of Aliki, boasting a traditional local high street with a bakery, butcher, fish and vegetables stores, and fine traditional taverns.

The Venue: Azure blue meets ice white in the colour palette of Maison Kamari, which can be aesthetically defined as a thoughtful combination of orthodox Greek home design and contemporary, relaxed touches – such as plenty of warm wood, raffia textiles and mid-century pieces that have been sourced from flea markets in Paris and Athens to create an eclectic style. Integrating stone and natural materials with soft furnishings and tonal pieces, the space flows from room to room to present the layered development of a richly refined personality.

Accommodation: The main house offers two ensuite bedrooms and the attached guest house offers a separate bedroom and bathroom, making the space suitable for an intimate gathering of up to six people. A baby bed is also available.

Amenities: From the rooftop patio to the large terrace surrounding the pool, this space encourages an appreciation of its natural surroundings (with the island of Antiparos, the sea and a mountain all resting just behind the house). It has a HiFi sound system, cinema, indoor and outdoor dining areas, and plenty of books and games for some old school entertainment.

Costing: Rates for 6 people range from 2,700 — 8,100 USD depending on the season.

The Location: An authentic Italian hideaway located five minutes outside of the artful town of Grottaglie (world-renowned for its ceramics and grape production), the country estate of Masseria Angiulli Piccolo is a restored 18th Century vineyard property. Abandoned for years with trees growing inside, it was reimagined by Norwegian architect Kristine Standnes, who embodied the elegantly rural nature of the space through a thoughtful restoration. It’s nestled in the centre of Puglia, disguised by lengths of vines and surrounded by 400 hectares of private vineyards, olive groves and orchards, as well as lavender and organic vegetable gardens.

The Venue: Connecting threads of history and nature with newer thoughts of design and architecture, the home is a harmony of both old and new elements. With plenty of room to breathe, the space is defined by natural materials such as wood and stone, and furnished with tonal modern and vintage pieces that echo the natural surroundings. From the flowing lengths of the canopy beds and the vaulted ceilings to smaller pieces, such as the vintage claw-foot bathtub and tactile ceramics sourced from the local pottery town, Masseria Angiulli Piccolo embodies the humble Italian country life with revered elegance.

Accommodation: The property boasts five ensuite bedrooms that lead out to two large terraces. Close to the pool, the guest quarters present two additional ensuite bedrooms. The estate is recommended to house thirteen guests comfortably. Guests can also use the baby beds.

Amenities: Masseria Angiulli Piccolo is rich in rhythmic flow. Starting with the large courtyard (shielded by a pergola terrace), it expands out to the large countryside-facing swimming pool, lined with sun loungers and overlooked by an outdoor shower. The alfresco pizza oven and open-air dining space is overlooked by the many terraces of the house, all designed to encourage memorable family moments shared over home-cooked meals. Inside, there is a fully-equipped kitchen, spaces to listen to music and watch movies, and access to a daily maid.

Costing: A daily rate of hire ranges from 800 – 1,400 USD depending on seasonal time.
