For many of us, long, sultry days mean three things: cool shades, a hot summer wardrobe, and, most importantly, the chance to chill, alfresco style. Whether you’re dreaming of waking up to coffee on the balcony, a lazy lunch by the pool, golden hour aperitifs, or all three, outside is definitely the place to be – especially if it comes with fabulous scenery.
Our past research shows that outdoor space really matters (see What buyers want). A good view came top of the wish list for buyers looking for a home in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, according to last year’s Savills Research poll. Meanwhile those buying in an urban environment placed high importance on balconies or patios, while those seeking a rural setting prioritised larger gardens.
Here we take a look at some of the finest international properties on the market with the best outside space for summer alfresco living.
