Originally a shepherds' refuge, this pretty cottage nestles in the countryside just outside the old Roman town of Pollença.

Built of the finest reclaimed Istrian stone this spacious, award-winning property enjoys the most privileged, elevated position overlooking batallions of neatly manicured grapevines and olive trees belonging to the celebrated local vintner Franc Arman. Spreading out before you from the grounds and numerous terraces is a breathtaking sweep of hills overlooking the Mirna Valley which begin at the Adriatic Sea and are punctuated by the hilltop medieval strongholds of Groznjan, Buje and Oprtalj. Unquestionably, this is quintessential Istria.

The subject of a major feature in "A Place In The Sun" magazine, an accolade afforded only to the most noteworthy and striking of properties, Olivia enjoys a lovely rural situation close to the hamlet of Bajkini in picturesque, north-west Istria. From this wonderful location the aspect of the garden and pool area affords very impressive views over unspoilt, rolling countryside of fields and woodland across to the medieval hilltop vllage of Buje and as far as the Adriatic Sea, sparkling in the distance. On a clear day you may even glimpse Venice.

A backdrop of vines, olive groves and woodland creates the quintessential Provençal setting for Château des Vignes, a stunning family home which has recently been transformed into a stylish and relaxing place to stay. Approached by way of a country lane that meanders past the owners' vineyards, the entrance is through a wrought iron gate into the front courtyard where a stone fountain and greenery evoke a tranquil atmosphere.

The charming higgledy piggledy village of Villedieu can be seen directly from the windows and poolside of this comfortable villa. Enticingly close, it is reached by way of a short walk (300m) along the country road bordered by vineyards and offers all the delights of a Provençal village; the square with stone fountain, the café, boulangerie and restaurant.

To the south of Bergerac lies a picturesque scene of undulating countryside interspersed with pretty villages and fields of vines. Here, the vineyards are an intrinsic part of the landscape and indeed the local life. It is amidst this setting that we came across Le Manoir du Vignoble, a beautiful property owned by a local viticulturist whose vineyards form part of the grounds around the house.

Sitting in four acres of spacious grounds, Tournesol is a smart country retreat in the heart of the Tarn countryside. Sweeping views encompass the gentle rolling hills, woodland and to the north the fortified village of Salvagnac, whilst exploration of the domain reveals open and covered dining terraces, a lawned garden, meadowland, an orchard, table tennis, the private pool and a tennis court.
The combination of space, facilities and quality of accommodation makes Tournesol an attractive choice for large groups of friends or families.

Recently restored, Casa delle Vigne is now a stylish and comfortable home in a setting to rival many. Its views stretch across the patchwork of vines, olive groves and fields towards the impressive Sibillini mountains in the distance, whilst to one side, the rooftops of the nearby village, Patrignone, are to be seen peaking above the trees. This lovely location offers the best of both worlds: essentially rural, it is only a 10 minute stroll (1.1km) along the nearby country road into the village itself.
