For a more local side of Seville, cross the Guadalquivir to Triana, where ceramic shops and tapas bars abound, and live music and dance fills the colourful streets.

On a quiet back street near the historic Santa Ana church, this small seven-room eco-conscious hotel flaunts Art Deco glamour with an Andalusian twist. Think marble floors, mirrored ceilings, vibrant wallpapers and fabrics, with a flamboyant courtyard at its heart. Breakfast is served on the sunny rooftop overlooking the church tower. Then it’s just a 15-minute stroll back across the Triana bridge to Seville’s magnificent cathedral and Alcázar.

If you’re anything like us, you might not quite be ready to wave goodbye to summer. The good news is that Santorini’s sunshine lingers well into the year, and this adults-only bolthole makes a particularly romantic retreat for two.

In the picturesque village of Pyrgos, it offers something increasingly rare on Santorini - privacy. The semi-subterranean house has a private courtyard with heated whirlpool bath pool, while the interiors are all whitewashed walls accented with pale wood and grey touches that mirror the nearby lava islands. Get lost in Pyrgos’s winding lanes, blue-domed churches and authentic tavernas, then return to your own secluded corner of the island.

Turin has a certain grandeur: vast arcaded squares, elegant palazzi and the Alps peeking over the horizon. Right on Piazza Vittorio, one of its largest historic squares, this small ‘suite and breakfast’ makes a smart base for exploring this underrated Italian gem.

There are just four suites, each filled with antique and mid-century pieces, original details and artwork, and three of them look directly onto the piazza. Start the day with a freshly baked brioche and coffee at historic pastry shop Ghigo, just around the corner, then spend the afternoon wandering the city’s arcades, browsing its galleries or sampling one of its seven Michelin-starred restaurants.

How does a stay in an 11th-century Tuscan hamlet, restored into seven elegant villas and apartments and crowned by an ancient castle sound?

Set among cypresses, roses and wisteria on a hilltop in southern Tuscany, it has sweeping views of dreamy rolling countryside. Inside, original features and open fireplaces sit alongside antique furniture, four-poster beds and claw-foot baths. Some villas have private pools, or you could head into nearby San Casciano dei Bagni and spend a day soaking in their 42 thermal springs.

Expect colourful painted furniture, vibrant fabrics, hanging plants and lanterns, with just five compact but thoughtfully designed rooms keeping things small and personal.The rooftop is the real draw though, serving hearty breakfasts of pancakes, fresh fruit and orange juice, and classic Moroccan and Lebanese fare for dinner as the medina unfolds below. Best of all, prices leave plenty in the budget for treasure hunting in the souks.

Nestled deep in the mountains of Corsica, surrounded by chestnut forests and dramatic peaks, you’ll find this small but mighty boutique hotel with huge square windows so you never miss a view.

Early risers can watch the sun come up over the mountains, enjoy breakfast on the terrace, then head out to explore the island’s wilder interior. A mountain lake is just a short drive away, where you can kayak, swim or paddle before returning for a leisurely dinner and a quiet evening. With its pared-back interiors, excellent local food and peaceful setting, it’s a brilliant base for discovering a different side of Corsica.

Right on the cliff edge in the quaint village of Azenhas do Mar, where traditional whitewashed cottages pepper the landscape all the way down to the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll find four particularly cute former fishermen’s houses with astonishing coastal views and minimalist interiors.

Carved into the cliffs below is a natural saltwater swimming pool perfect for those who don’t fancy braving the vast Atlantic waters. This patch of coastline is a playground for surfers, or there’s a cliff trail for walking and cycling if dry land is more your cup of tea. Don’t miss a day trip to the fairytale town of Sintra or a sample of the region’s signature dessert - travesseiros.
