John Mortimer's Summer's Lease I fell in love with years ago though it's really not out of the ordinary...just makes me want to be in Tuscany... 
...A Room With a View...
Elizabeth Bowen, Heat of the Day. (Okay, I haven't actually read that one. But I intend to!)
Something in Provence would be good.

The Godden is a great suggestion; I've enjoyed many of her books, especially the memoirs, but missed out this one.
Will look out Mortimer, which sounds like a lovely read. And I've read some Bowen, but must confess that they all run together.
Clearly time to revisit!
Thank you; more for the list.
