Villa Monte

The house is bright and open, with floor to ceiling windows, several places to sit, and a fireplace looking out at the mountains. The lounge has a home cinema, there are Sonos speakers throughout, and every bedroom has a smart TV. The kitchen has two big fridges, a SMEG oven and Nespresso machines, and opens onto an outdoor dining terrace with a long table under a bamboo roof. Air conditioning and underfloor heating mean it works in winter too.

Seven bedrooms sleep up to eighteen. The main house has five en suite bedrooms: three with super king beds and two twin rooms whose beds can be pushed together. Across the garden, the casita has two more bedrooms separated by a terrace, one with a super king bed and its own bathroom, and one with a double and a sofa bed, plus an outdoor shower and toilet. Cots, high chairs and kids' mattresses are all available.

The 19 metre infinity pool faces south, lit up at night, with big sunbeds, a Bali bed and L-shaped seating around it. The 250 square metre terrace looks out to the mountains. Beyond the gardens are 24 acres of private woodland to walk in, with hammocks by the casita, a yoga platform, a gym deck with weights, table tennis and a barbecue. At night it's dark enough for stargazing.
