Villas in Italy for Two
7 villas · curated by us
Most Italian villas are built for a houseful. These are the ones made for two: a honeymoon, an anniversary, a long-promised week away together, or a trip that is entirely your own. Every place on this page welcomes one or two guests, so the whole of it is yours, from the first coffee on the terrace to the last glass of wine at night.
In Rome, the CasaCau studio and one-bedroom apartments sit inside a 17th-century palazzo two minutes on foot from the Trevi Fountain, with fresh bread and croissants from a Roman bakery brought to your door each morning. In Chianti, Roseto at La Poggiolaia is a one-bedroom apartment with its own south-facing terrace on a hilltop farmstead, with a swimming pool in the garden and a view across the olive groves toward the towers of San Gimignano. And in Umbria, Villa Molinella is a 12th-century mill beside a stream, kept for two adults, with a private pool, a sauna and a hot tub at the water's edge.
Traveling on your own? These places feel as good for one as they do for two, and your Doorways Villa Vacations advisor is with you the whole way, arranging the driver from the airport, the cooking class and the table at the trattoria we love most. If you would like a second bedroom or a little more room, our Romantic Hideaways include small villas for two to four.
