Sat at the foot of the Church of Saint Januarius, overlooking the glittering Tyrrhenian Sea, this laidback apartment is a slice of la dolce vita. Inside, it’s homely and comfortable with patterned tiles keeping things cool underfoot and a compact kitchenette with everything you need for putting together quick bites. Begin mornings with breakfast on the patio, listening to the bells peal as you tuck into flaky sfogliatelle.

In the afternoon, slip on your flip-flops and mosey through your charming neighbourhood. Stop for an espresso in a local cafe before jumping in the car or hopping on the bus to Marina di Praia Beach. Head home just in time for sunset – pour a glass of your favourite wine and watch the sky burn orange above the indigo water from your private terrace.
