We suspect that 'Italian' would most likely come out top in any 'If I wasn't [add applicable nationality], I would most like to be...' polls. There's something particularly alluring about the Italian way of life. As far as we're concerned, it really doesn't get much sweeter than la dolce vita, and staying in a luxury villa in Italy - be it in the hills near Florence or by the beach in Sardinia - it's the consummate way to spend a summer soggiorno. Parade around the narrow streets of a Tuscan hilltop town on a sunset passeggiata or sample fresh Sardinian white wines at a seafront restaurant as oligarch-laden megayachts glide by - it's all part and parcel of an Italian luxury villa holiday, and Original Travel knows the finest luxury villas around.

"Extremely engaging, responsive, timely and brilliant service. Loved the Dossiers, they were so handy for day-to-day use, especially the restaurant suggestions. Our Rome Concierge, Giorgia, was fantastic, she was always there when we needed some help. I knew what my teens wanted from our Rome trip and the itinerary was perfect. Superbly organised, it was exactly what I was hoping for and ticked all the boxes. "

"My agent Izzy was patient and wonderful. She answered my questions quickly and gave me a lot of options. The hotels selected were in excellent locations and high quality. The app was great to remind us of our itinerary. Our Concierge in each location was wonderful - they communicated well and were a calming presence. It was a pleasure to know all our travel arrangements were taken care of ahead of time and our privately booked tours were the best."
