Your Villa Experience

Kiwis love to travel. We pride ourselves on our friendly, outgoing nature and when we travel, we like nothing better than striking up a conversation with the locals – it’s how we really connect with a destination. It’s often hard to do this when you’re staying at just another hotel. That’s why we’re such great fans of more unique, boutique-style accommodation options. This style of accommodation is great if you like to get off the beaten track - there are hundreds of properties in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to choose from, ranging from private country homes and character manor houses, to boutique inns and even working farms. When it comes to France, imagine wandering down to the boulangerie for that delicious Pain au Chocolat. Or some still warm croissants to go with the cherry preserve you bought at the market yesterday, a crusty baguette for your pool side picnic this afternoon and a rich custardy mille-feuille to have with your coffee as you watch the sun go down over the lavender fields by evening. Similarly in Italy; take time to reconnect with family and friends in your very own rented villa, house or apartment in the Italian countryside. Dally over a meal as you swap stories and graze on fresh and flavoursome dishes. Let the languid afternoons melt into lazy evenings whilst enjoying another bottle of Chianti – this is what the locals call the sweet life – ‘La Dolce Vita’.

Your home away from home Renting a house or villa can be one of the most perfect ways to enjoy your holiday in the UK and Europe, just staying put for a week or two and living like a local. Without question, these holidays are suited to all types of travellers, from friends and families holidaying together, to couples looking for that intimate getaway. They are great for people who enjoy taking each day as it comes, visiting markets for fresh produce, mixing with the locals, meandering around local sights or exploring other nearby towns or villages. You can spend your time sampling wine and antipasto platters before eating out, or you can create your own exquisite meals and relax in after a good day of sightseeing.

Our tips and what you should consider - Houses and villas are generally rented on a weekly basis, from Saturday to Saturday. - Many houses and villas are hundreds of years old but full of character, despite the fact they may have wonky or creaky floorboards or water pipes, narrow staircases and low beams. - Do you prefer a stand-alone house or an apartment in a complex with some shared facilities like laundry and pool? - Electricity is often less reliable and very expensive, so do not expect much in the way of appliances. - Kitchens are generally simpler than those at home, often there will only be cooking elements, and no oven or microwave. - Consider what are your ideal rooming arrangements, one, two or three bedroom, what type of bedding do you need, double or single? - What category of home do you prefer, standard, moderate or superior? - Do you want to be in the village or in the countryside, cooking in or eating out? - Will you have a car and do you plan to head out on day trips? - Sometimes costs are payable direct including linen hire, heating and a refundable bond. - Do you need a swimming pool? These usually have open and close dates regardless of the weather. - Do you require a washing machine? - Is a shower important â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some villas only have a bath. - Are you travelling with children and if so what are their ages and needs, do you need a cot or highchair? - In order to find the perfect blend of relaxation, local culture, food and wine, and most importantly, a great place to return home to each evening, ask your House of Travel consultant for their recommendations. - Check-in is usually from late afternoon to early evening (4-7pm) and check-out is midmorning. Outside these times need to be pre-approved with the property.

The villas shown in this brochure are a small selection from a much larger range of villas and destinations. Ask your House of Travel consultant for more details.

Lake District, UK With England’s five highest mountains, two national parks and three areas of outstanding natural beauty, the Lake District is a glorious place to visit.
