The main house is freshly renovated, with a colorful blue wash exterior, sustainable plank flooring, and updated modern comforts throughout that complement the natural scenery. The fully-equipped kitchen, breakfast area, and living room open out to the deck, and there are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen bed, that sleep up to four (with optional sofa bed that can accommodate two additional guests).The deck is the perfect spot to lounge and dine, with magnificent views of Mount Rainier and the water.Adjacent to the main house with direct beach access, the charming cottage comes with a fully stocked kitchen, newly renovated bathroom, and a queen-sized bed. The dining area is perfect for dinner for two, and the private patio is a nice spot for a morning coffee to enjoy the lovely views of Puget Sound. The gardens of wild huckleberry and ferns, a rare sequoia, and towering Douglas Fir trees are the perfect escape with a hot tub for soaking under the stars.THE OLYMPIC PENINSULAWashington's Olympic Peninsula has some of the most lush and unspoiled natural beauty that the state has to offer, with gorgeous waterways in and around the mountains and ancient forests outside of the state capitol. Percival Landing is one of its three waterfront parks, located on the southern most tip of Puget Sound along Budd Bay. A bustling town hub, it has a lovely walkable harbor and restaurants in the heart of downtown. Closer to home, charming local towns to visit include Hoodsport, Lilliput, Quilcene, Port Townsend and Port Angeles.Just over a mile away, Frye Cove Beach Park  is a great spot for forest walking and nearby Pickering Passage, named for the 19th century naturalist Charles Pickering, is a beautiful strait to explore that runs near the property. Taylor Shellfish Farms in Shelton is a 20 minute drive, and is the best local spot for the area's famous oysters and seafood.The local ferry from Port Angeles can take you on day trips to Victoria, BC. LOCATIONOlympia Washington.

<h2>Facing Mount Rainier Along The Shores Of Puget Sound </h2>
 Set right along the shores of Eld Inlet within two acres of lush forests and breathtaking views of Mount Rainier, this is among the most unspoiled and diverse eco-systems in the Pacific Northwest. With its origins in medieval England (and also the name of the nearby strait in Puget Sound), the name Pickering was chosen for this beach house rental in Washington to evoke the feeling of an old English family estate, where multiple generations resided together, and guests are always welcome. Both the main house and its companion cottage have decks facing the views and each has been renovated with bright contemporary style while capturing the rugged feel of the great outdoors. It's the perfect setting to try out the Japanese practice of “forest bathing” or shinrin-yoku, head to the beach for a swim with the neighboring seals, or simply to be present while in nature.

The Bothy

The two units have been extensively restored, inside and out, with a new lamia added in 2017, mimicking traditional style. Interiors are decorated in authentic Puglian style, an appealing blend of rustic and antique, with roughhewn stone walls and slab flooring, arches and nooks. We love the stone barrel vaulted ceiling in the new lamia, and the gardens, with their generously sized pools and golden stone terraces for outdoor dining. Read an interview with the owners in our Stories section here and a short history of the trullo here.AROUNDThere is much to see in Puglia, the elegant heel in Italy's boot. As the region has a long coastline, there are many beaches to explore, both sandy and rocky, starting just 10km from the property. Begin with Torre Guaceto. And don't miss the Grotte di Castellana, an extensive karst cave system, that is one of Puglia's most popular attractions.The white city of Ostuni is less than 5km away. Described by Lonely Planet as &#34;a pearly white tiara&#34;, it extends across three hills, with a cathedral centerpiece, and boasts a great selection of bars and restaurants in its legendary all-white center. (Make sure to check out the owners' store while you're there.)Other towns to visit include Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Alberobello, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, and Grottaglie with its beautiful ceramics. And don't forget to sample the region's famous olive oils and wines.There is no public transportation locally, so a car is required to reach this villa for rent in Italy.LOCATIONOstuni, Puglia, Italy. Nearest airports: Brindisi (40 mins, 35km) and Bari (one hour, 80km).BEST TIME TO VISIT: Year round, but July to October for best weather.

<h2>A Hideaway in the Heel of Italy</h2>
 One of the features that makes Puglia stand out from the rest of Italy is the trullo, a conical dwelling straight out of a fairy tale. Trulli are constructed from limestone boulders and feature signature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs made from corbelled limestone slabs. It's a building technique that has endured the passage of time, and this estate features five of these ancient cones, as well as an imposing 18th-century masseria, or farmhouse.This complex of structures is located on a peaceful acre of land, filled with olive groves, almond trees, flowers and spices. It's available for rent in its entirety or as two separate units: the Masseria Silentio plus Trullo Castelluccio (sleeping 10 guests in total), and the Trullo Silentio (sleeping up to six guests). Each property has its own pool, olive grove, and independent entrance.

Villa Vista di Campagna

Renovated old Finca. The task was to retain old finca charms but transfer it to a light contemporary design experience. Only 7 minutes from the shores the finca is set hilltop overlooking a valley.  

<h2 id="ancientfarmhousemademodernonmallorca">Ancient Farmhouse Made Modern on Mallorca</h2>
With some of its vast, 500 square meters dating from medieval times, this stony finca presents a contemporary reinterpretation of a rural farmhouse designed to preserve its ancient charms and meet the demands of modern life. Enter through its antique entrance into a welcoming entrada, one of several seating spaces built around the property for luxurious relaxation.
Renovated common areas include a living room with a view, a separate TV room and a fully equipped contemporary kitchen. Five spacious bedroom suites offer four king- and two queen-sized beds, with one suite featuring an open fireplace and another a private loggia. Each of the five unique rooms offers a living area with a sleeper sofa, armchairs, and a workstation, and one bath features an indoor/outdoor space outfitted with an external shower. The living room has a notable modern fireplace, an angular contemporary addition that adds sculptural flair, surrounded by a classic Mallorcan-styled built-in sofa.
A sweep through the fully renovated home reveals a décor palette that tends towards subdued organic hues, and clean-lined, hotel quality furnishings that include a mix of Mallorcan farm furniture, antique finds and sleek modern pieces to complement the original architecture. Multiple terraces exist around the property, and an alfresco dining terrace for 14 guests is shaded. The property’s garden and pool area offer established Mediterranean trees and shrubs, a large grassy area, and two pool cabanas, a shower and toilet, plus umbrella-shaded sun beds and an outdoor kitchen with an Argentinian asado grill space. There’s a dedicated mature cactus garden, and a small vegetable garden and lemon garden, too.
A detached, two-story, 35sqm casita for two is available as an additional lodging and is located some 20 meters from the original finca.
<h3 id="additionalfeatures">Additional features</h3>
The home benefits from a treatment system that uses UV light to purify water. The finca is equipped with fiber optics with access points throughout the home and outdoor spaces, and there’s a Sonos music system in the kitchen/living area and a 65in smart TV in a dedicated TV room. The home’s heat pumps are solar operated as is its AC system, and there’s a sauna and relaxation room in-home as well.
<h3 id="around">Around</h3>
The property’s hilltop location offers views of the Puig de Santeuri and the Castel of the same name, across lands still cultivated with vegetables. S’Horta means “vegetable garden,” and the village sits some five kilometers inland from the coast, where two pretty coves, the Cala Sa Nau and Cala Mitjana, await. The coastal towns of Portocolom and Cala D’Or are minutes from the farmhouse by car and both offer a wealth of dining, shopping and recreational opportunities. Vibrant Cala d’Or is a yachting port and with a medieval castle watching over it. The town is also easily accessible to the Mondragó Natural Park, famed for its aquatic birdlife including ospreys. Portocolom, a traditional fishing village is set around one of the island’s largest sheltered bays. Boathouses, a lighthouse, and dozens of colorful fishing boats line its quay, and guided boating trips are available from this harbor area as well. 
Portocolom, named for Christopher Columbus, is also home to an ancient burial ground or prehistoric naveta, and its blue flag beaches, such as Cala Marcal, offer sandy shallow waters that are family-friendly. The town’s pastel houses are postcard worthy. For great dining and the region’s delicious local food and produce options, head to the lively market town of Santanyi, some 18 kilometers to the south, with markets each Wednesday and Saturday mornings. The home is also 47 kilometers from the Aqualnd El Arenal Water Park, and the Coves del Dra are only 21 kilometers from the property.

Can Talaieta luxurious farm house

It is often said that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and this grouping of ancient Puglian agricultural structures fits the adage. Vaulted stone ceilings and arched doorways and interior nichos curve over charmed spaces. These include an Italian country kitchen full of professional appliances, a cozy living room with mid-century era furniture and local artworks, plus the complex’s four bedrooms made up in crisp white linens, with soft lighting and arched doors opening out onto the terrace.Converted trulli homes are iconic to the region and celebrated as UNESCO World Heritage treasures, and this complex sets itself apart through its embrace of simple luxuries. Made entirely of local materials, the property offers views onto the surrounding estate of centenary olive trees and the Valle d’Itria’s rolling hills. The property’s owners have placed a premium on outdoor living, and stone-paved terraces surround the trulli. There’s also a spacious, lantern-accented swimming pool and deck with shaded, chaise-lined pergolas, several spots with built-in, cushion-lined seating benches and easy outdoor armchairs, and a vine-covered outdoor dining patio.Tailor-made creative experiences are part of the stay here, and a signature element of the owners’ wider collection of fine properties. Designed for those who seek travel that roots them in the culture of the destination, Puglia’s heritage and lifestyle is brought to life at Casa Badra through personalized opportunities to make mouth-watering pasta, wander the still-active olive plantations or visit the area by bicycle.Read a short history of the trullo in our Stories section here.AROUNDThis villa for rent in Italy is located in the countryside only four kilometers from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Alberobello, where over 1,000 trulli structures are protected. Other villages of note a quick drive away include Cisternino, Ostuni or the magical “white village&#34;, and Locorotundo, surrounded by vineyards where its namesake local wine is made. The Itria Valley occupies southern Italy’s boot heel and is close to both the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas. The region’s sought-after trulli were once agricultural storerooms, and they rise in every direction from the stony hills. Dating from prehistoric times, the structures display well-preserved examples of ancient dry stone, or mortarless, construction. Another nearby UNESCO Heritage site is the troglodyte village of Matera. Restaurants, cafes, bars and tasting rooms join markets, shops and artisanal boutiques and galleries throughout the region. Half a dozen beaches with turquoise Adriatic waters are further afield as are charming coastal villages such as Polignano a mari and Monopoli.LOCATIONAlberobello, Puglia, Italy.

Trulli

Constructed of limestone, concrete and natural stone, the structure is dominated on one side with three arched glass doors leading out to the terrace. The open plan main room includes the sitting area with a fireplace, a dining area and kitchen that features fun, multi-colored lighting. There are two double bedrooms to the rear and a colorful bespoke shower room with a unique washing machine drum bathroom sink. Many of the one-of-a-kind decor and furnishings are the result of up-cycling roadside finds to make original pieces that blend modern and rustic styles.  The large shaded area with built-in wood-fired BBQ to the front of the property is perfect for dining al fresco and enjoying the stunning mountainscapes and there are hammocks for lazy siestas. AT THE BORDER OF CATALONIA &amp; ARAGONThe house is just a few miles on a partially paved road to the pretty riverside village of Tivenys where you will find all local amenities and a very laid back atmosphere. Twenty minutes further is the medieval town of Tortosa at the mouth of the Ebro River. A gorgeous mix of Baroque, Renaissance and modernist architecture, there's also a 15th-century Arab castle perched on a hillside overlooking the town. The relatively undiscovered area along the border of Catalonia, Aragon and Valencia is a spectacularly beautiful and biodiverse region that allows for vast exploration without the crowds. Bordering the Els Ports Nature Park, the region is characterized by dramatic limestone massifs and was once home to prehistoric settlements, where you'll encounter fascinating remains of paved pathways, chalk ovens, ice wells and charcoal stores. The area is also home to several ancient hilltop villages dating back to the 12th century within a short drive that provide a glimpse into a bygone era of rural life. They come alive each summer with parties featuring traditional music, dance and dress and colorful markets. Once known primarily for olive oil, the region is now a big wine producer and the village of Lledò an hour west will welcome you with a tasting at Bodegas Crial and the dramatic &#34;Cathedral of Wine&#34; in Pinell de Brai. The coast is twenty miles south with the nearest beach being L'Ampolla. LOCATIONTivenys, Catalonia, Spain. Nearest Airport: Reus Airport (1hr 15 minute drive). Valencia and Barcelona Prat (2.5 hrs)  BEST TIME TO VISIT: May for Spring flowers. Spring, Summer and Winter months for blue sky mountain walks 

<h2>Prehistoric Forms At One With The Landscape</h2>
 Inhabiting a beautiful and remote landscape of ancient olive groves, this vacation home for rent in Spain was built in homage to the many caves in the area and is completely at one with the landscape. We love the graceful arches and soft lines of the interiors and the rustic stonework outside. Simple and stylish, it's a modern version of a primitive dwelling.Designed and built by the owners as an off-grid escape, the home is nestled into a magnificent and remote landscape at the foot of craggy mountains in once epically cultivated but now abandoned olive groves.Fully off-grid and solar-powered, the home treads delicately on the landscape. Built underground with a strong ring-like shape, the curved ceilings and central atrium are a feast for the senses, with ever-changing light and shadow projected through the house as the sun moves throughout the day.
