Jeanneret
Lake Como, Italy

At the end of the summer, you’ll surely be the envy of everyone you know.
White House Villa
Santorini, Greece
Come to Santorini for the nightlife, the historic explorations, and the breathtaking sunsets – which you can take in night after night at White House Villa. From here, you’ll also have an exceptional view of the sea, a volcano, and the village below. Uniquely built into the hillside, this villa is a cave house traditional to this cliff island. Enjoy Santorini’s iconic white-washed design, an infinity Jacuzzi, and an outdoor dining area.
Gran Villa San Pietro
Marbella, Spain
The luxe life reigns in the coastal city of Marbella – and at Gran Villa San Pietro. Just a short drive from the area’s trendiest beaches, this hilltop home boasts stunning views of the tropical surroundings and an unbeatable setup for outdoor summer living: numerous terraces, swimming pool, and dining area. Plus, there’s the indoor spa complex, complete with a second pool, sauna, and bar/lounge.
Villa 3 at Golden Rays
Primošten, Croatia
For a more unique summer getaway, try Croatia – particularly the small town of Primošten, a former island. The waterfront Villa 3 at Golden Rays has private beach access, plus sunbeds and umbrellas. Gaze out at the sea from your spacious terrace, and swim in your partially-roofed pool. When you’re not in a deep state of well-deserved relaxation, head into the town to stroll the beautiful streets.
Pompidou
Paris, France
Picture Paris in the summer: sipping wine at outdoor cafes, having picnics in the park, attending art festivals. Sound dreamy? Then pick Pompidou, a gorgeous printing house-turned-luxury residence with modern furnishings, located in the center of the city. When you’re not out and about (top attractions like the Louvre are within walking distance!), enjoy your private sauna, gym, and movie screen.
