Holidays if you've got a big bonus: Castiglion del Bosco, Tuscany, Italy
Recommended by: Mr. & Mrs. Smith, who say:
This all-singing countryside retreat ticks all the boxes for weary bankers. The 800-year old Tuscan estate has 4,000-plus acres, a Brunello winery, two restaurants and a pool and impeccable credentials. Our favourite room is the San Michele Suite which has an elegant sitting room with a library and garret, and a bathroom with a super-generous tub.
Cost: Rooms from £388
