1-2 Bedroom Villas

Small villas and apartments for couples and young families

One- and two-bedroom villas and apartments suit couples, honeymooners, friends travelling together and young families. They range from apartments in a converted farmhouse or hamlet, often sharing a garden and pool with a handful of other guests, to small villas with their own outdoor space.

What to check in a smaller home

Ask how the second bedroom is set up. It may be a twin, a small single or a mezzanine reached by an open staircase, which matters with young children. If the listing sleeps more than four, check whether that relies on a sofa bed in the living room.

Check whether the pool is private or shared, and if shared, how many other homes use it. If you are travelling with young children, ask whether it is fenced or gated, as pool fencing is not a given at Italian villas.

Ask about outdoor space too, as a private terrace or patio makes a big difference on a summer evening. On the Amalfi Coast, many apartments are reached by steps rather than a road, so ask how far it is from the parking or bus stop to the door.

Where to stay

The Amalfi Coast suits couples who want sea views, with Positano, Amalfi and Ravello linked by bus and boat. On Lake Garda and Lake Como, apartments in lakeside towns make it easy to explore by ferry.

In Puglia, a trullo, the traditional cone-roofed stone house of the Valle d'Itria, makes a memorable base near Alberobello, Locorotondo and Cisternino. A small farmhouse apartment in Tuscany or Umbria is another good choice for couples who love food and wine, with markets, vineyards and hill towns close by.
