VILLA DEGLI AFFRESCHI: POSITANO, ITALY
According to Instagram etiquette (Insta-etiquette?), posting more than three photos in one day is taboo; book a stay in this historic Amalfi Coast villa, however, and you earn the right to bend the rules a little. Built in 1741, Villa degli Affreschi features a lush garden surrounding the property, a pool overlooking Positano and ten lavish bedrooms—plus an in-house chef and a complimentary cooking lesson. Spend a lazy morning in bed before opening the doors to your private terrace for a taste of the salty sea breeze.

Keep your phone at the ready to capture those famous rooftops at the golden hour.
“When we arrived, I was left speechless. I didn’t think it was possible, but the photos did not do the place justice. The house is just stunning.”
Between the well-manicured English gardens, the majestic façade and the sprawling terrace overlooking the sea, you’d be forgiven for thinking the most stunning photo ops on this property are outside. But while the panoramic views and pristine grounds are hard to beat, the home’s interior has a distinct warmth and charm of its own. Even if the sun is out and the weather is perfect, you might find yourself looking for an excuse to cozy up next to the wood burning stove with a good book and a cup of tea.
CHALET ALPIN ROC: BAGNES, SWITZERLAND
In this luxury chalet perched above the beautiful village of Verbier, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the snowy peaks of the Swiss Alps beyond. Rustic building materials like aged wood and natural stone complement luxe Italian furniture and plush rugs, giving Alpin Roc a cozy-chic appeal.
