This may just be the most relaxing pool we've ever seen. Firstly, it offers spectacular views of the stunning scenery, particularly the natural beauty of the Sasso Simone e Simoncello Nature Park in the distance. Secondly, there are pretty waterfalls for an elegant touch and lastly, there are warm bubbles to massage the skin. The problem is you'll never want to get out.

Once you do finally pull yourself out of the water, you'll find a secluded villa steeped in luxury. The stone walls face onto a neutral colour palette and earthy tones, creating a subtle minimalist style. Low-vaulted wooden beams and an open space create a cosy energy without feeling crowded.

Step out of the chic interior and the feeling of deluxe modernism continues. A jutting veranda shelters a cute outdoor table, which frames the undulating hillside in the background. It's a paradisal spot to share pizza, pasta and a crisp bottle of wine.

If you wanted to get out and explore the breathtaking surroundings, hop in the car and visit the nearby parks and nature reserves. For a more urban setting, the coastal towns and cities of Fano, Urbino and Pesaro are just under half an hour away.

Home truths:
* For safety reasons, the outdoor oven cannot be used in July and August due to fire risks
* If you use the BBQ, make sure it's near the house and away from the forest, but you're welcome to use it all year round
* One well-behaved pet is welcome to join you
