Description Bringing The Beach Back: Fermo

If you can't book a villa near the beach, then just bring it to you. That's what the founders of this home have done – they've created a cute, manmade beach surrounding the luscious pool. It has the vibe of a day by the sea with the privacy of the villa.

If that wasn't enough of a fun twist, the pool also features a hydro-massager and a counter-current swimming option. It's like having your own mini water park.

Step out of the pool and you'll find a lush, green garden with a seating area and a slide for kids (or adults, we won't judge). It flows out from the stone courtyard with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ, perfect for alfresco dining. After dinner, stools reside near the kitchen, creating an authentic bar experience from the comfort of your home.

Of course, you can always venture out the villa and visit the bars of Fermo and Porto San Giorgio. Discover quintessentially Italian eating and drinking spots, intertwined between cobbled streets and quaint stores.

Home truths:
* Unfortunately, youth groups aren't permitted to book the villa, however, young adults with parents are welcome
* One well-behaved pet is welcome to join you
* Your host can provide a free cot for little ones
