Temperature: 19°C high; 13°C low Season: spring Travel time from UK: 2 hours 35 minutes Time difference: GMT +1 Nothing brings a spring to the step quite like the sight of Italy's glorious Amalfi coast. Particularly in March, when its vertiginous twists are bathed in a daily average eight hours of sun. Cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, topped with grand palazzos and smart hotels. Narrow, Roman lanes are stuffed with limoncello stalls flogging the boozy spoils of Sorrento's famous fruit. Its snoozy air and pastel-coloured houses are pure Italian cinema: you might even swear you've seen a young Sophia Loren looking impossibly saucy by the quay. Do as the Italians do and spend the lazy, romantic days enjoying a long aperitivo . Don't miss fresh fritto misto at Marina Grande, the town's old fishing harbour, or Michelin-starred Il Buco in the cellars of an old monastery, where chef Peppe Aversa serves seasonal ingredients under a stone-hewn, vaulted ceiling.

Cornwall luxury holiday homes near private beach open for summer 2022 - Cornwall Live

-

A collection of five "ultimate luxury Cornish holiday homes" is set to open on a clifftop in time for the summer - with prices up to £5,800 per week. A few steps from a private beach, Atlanta Trevone is launching in July in one of the most sought after coastal locations, close to Padstow.

A Victorian house built in 1899, Atlanta has been owned by the same Cornish family for generations, with ancestors including artist JHC Miller, an artist favoured by King George V and whose subject was the same seascapes that can be seen from the property today. The new custodians are his great-granddaughter, Jessica, and her husband Ash Alken-Theasby who together have renovated Atlanta.

The family have run the property as holiday lets since the 1900s. An ad for the development states that interiors are inspired by a Hamptons beach house meets hotel chain The PIG.

Susan Law Cain/Shutterstock With their gable roofs and symmetrical windows, colonial houses can make quite a statement. Classic, elegant, and charming, they've become embedded in the white picket fence, American dream imagery. According to Wentworth Studio, the colonial revival began in the 1880s and lasted until around 1945. The simplicity of these homes makes them the perfect candidate for additions, alterations, and renovation. American colonial homes tend to have a symmetrical floor plan, with the front door right in the middle of the front exterior and usually flanked by large columns and tall windows. They are impressive buildings, and flippers and renovators enjoy bringing these houses up to a modern standard. Sometimes it's a s...
