Nooks, dens, pleasure peninsulas, the most beautiful design homes on Airbnb

There is a "living and habitable sculpture" designed by Maximilliano Fuksas, there is a cliffside villa where wild and seductive nature reclaims minimalist and functional spaces, there is a former medieval watchtower transformed into a low-profile architectural alcove (but very, very scenic). Among the design villas listed on Airbnb in Italy, there are unique, unrepeatable, incredible accommodations where it can be summer forever.

The hosts of special homes on Airbnb Italy do not just rent their homes, but fully unleash their creativity and share their passions, welcoming travelers from around the world into unique accommodations. Among these, design homes are a must: architects, collectors, and enthusiasts have decided to partake in sharing homes and villas with majestic structures, meticulously cared for in detail, and undeniably spectacular. We have selected the top 5 must-see design villas in Sicily, Tuscany, Sardinia, Lombardy, and Puglia.

Nestled in a nature reserve, this design accommodation in Sicily, just steps from the sea and a short distance from Syracuse, could be certified as a paradise of peace for the senses. From Villa Cozzo Coniglio, the breathtaking sunset, the patio where you can sip limoncello until dawn, geometric, clean, essential, existential lines overlap with the wild, seductive skyline.

The peninsula within the island, the Nea design villa is located in Is Molas in the province of Cagliari. Created by an Italian genius who doesn't need much introduction but certainly deserves many ceremonies, Maximilliano Fuksas, this "habitable sculpture" - as described by its creator - is a microcosm of luxury, tranquility, and delight.

Built in 1909, on the site of an ancient medieval watchtower, Villa Peduzzi is the design alcove where - with its infinity pool, Art Nouveau interiors, and eight bedrooms - you can indulge in all the pleasures of life.

We do not bow before such grandeur, or rather, not just that. We ascend all the steps until we reach the entrance of the most scenic villa in Tuscany (let's say, it is epic in its scenic quality) just outside Arezzo. The optical white, the greens that pop the vision, the caramel of the furnishings... and the sunsets, it goes without saying, are the palette of colors/emotions/sensations of Villa N.

More than a low-profile villa, more than a design villa in the Puglian countryside, Casa M hides meticulously curated interiors with high-quality finishes crafted from wood and stone. From here, Cisternino and Martina Franca can be reached in just a few kilometers. But, really, why come out into the open???
