Villa Ami, Sardinia
We love the idea of a car free holiday at this modern, bright villa. Jump in a taxi from the airport – Cagliari Elmas is the nearest and is about 50 minutes’ away – and then you have pretty much everything you’ll need within walking distance. There’s a lovely beaches and restaurants close by, but it’s also incredibly peaceful here and you have views across the pool and garden from pretty much every room in the house.Sleeps: 5 across 3 bedroomsPrices: From €740 for a week

Stone Village House, Occitanie
How about taking the train from London all the way to Carcassonne and then making your way to the nearby village of Servies-en-Val and spending a week in this petite treat of a village house? The house is compact but one thing we love is the pool area cross the road which has a separate room beside the plunge pool with fabulous views. You could just hole up in the village for a week or there’s plenty to explore close by.Sleeps. 5 across 3 bedrooms Prices: From £1,134 for a six night stay
