One of the most wonderful things about Italy is its islands. We are sure that you may well have heard of Elba off the coast of Tuscany and Capri off the coast of Naples. But have you ever heard of a villa or apartment on Ponza, Pantelleria, Ischia, the Egadi or the Eolian islands? Rocky volcanic gems hidden in the mediteranean sea just waiting to be rediscovered by the more adventurous traveller.

We have long sought to bring Italian villas on these islands to a more discerning public but few have caught our eye and fewer have met our exacting standards. As often they are used for two weeks of the year and the rest of the time remain empty their owners resist the urge to invest in style and comfort as it seems uneccesary. But as with all things, times change and this is your chance to explore the wonders of these islands from your very own home from home: Self catering and living life as a true islander.
