Find Italian-style luxury nestled into the dramatic landscape of the Colorado mountains at Il Podere. This hilltop retreat, whose name translates to “the farm,” sits on 220 private acres of Vail Valley land—but is still less than a 20-minute drive from Beaver Creek Village. Seven bedrooms and a range of amenities make this vacation rental an ideal destination for a family reunion or a milestone celebration with friends.

A wealth of amenities means this so-called farm feels more like your own resort. Outside, you’ll find a heated pool and hot tub, a tennis court, a barbecue and a furnished terrace. Inside, there’s a home theater, wet bar, pool table, TV and Wi-Fi, as well as a wellness area with an exercise room, basketball court and sauna.

The villa’s sumptuous interiors only add to its charms. Details such as exposed wood beams, stone walls and ornate fireplace surrounds evoke the architecture of traditional Tuscan estates, but plush area rugs and plump sofas add a measure of modern comfort. Turn out gourmet meals from the fully equipped kitchen, which has its own wood-burning pizza oven, to serve at the dining area for ten.

There are two master suites in the villa’s main house, each one a honeymoon-worthy haven with a king bed, fireplace and jetted tub. In the guest house, there are four bedrooms with queen beds and one bedroom with two twin-over-double bunk beds. All seven bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.

It would be easy to spend your whole holiday relaxing at Il Podere—but it’s not hard to explore the area, either. The property is less than a 30-minute drive from skiing at Vail and Beaver Creek, plus shopping and dining in the towns of Edwards and Avon. If you’ll be visiting during the summer, the Beaver Creek and EagleVail golf courses are both within easy reach.
