Handpicked Holiday Accommodation in Italy

For perfect Italian holiday villas, apartments and hotels, welcome to Essential Italy. Each and every one of our authentic villas, comfortable apartments to rent and high quality hotels have been carefully handpicked for your enjoyment and meet only the highest standards, offering an unforgettable Italian experience in some of the country’s best-loved and most beautiful locations.

Let our Experience Find you the Perfect Apartment, Hotel or Villa in Italy. Essential Italy was born in 2002 out of an appreciation and enthusiasm for all things Italian. Brother and sister, Ian (who has lived in Tuscany for the past 20 years) and Helen decided it was time to share their Italian experiences with a wider, like-minded audience. Sarah (based in Sardinia) joined them soon after and brought with her a wealth of invaluable knowledge and experience.

Today, our family-run business covers many of Italy’s finest holiday destinations across the country, with our team on hand to match you to your ideal holiday rental. Whether your dream holiday is a secluded mountain escape in Abruzzo, an authentic Tuscany villa holiday complete with private pool, a romantic hideaway in the hills of Umbria, a classic white-washed trullo in Puglia or a sun-drenched holiday home in Sardinia or Sicily overlooking the gorgeous Italian coast, and whether you’re a family, couple, group or an individual, we are here to guide you on where to stay to get the best out of your luxury break in Italy.
