We are an independent company based in London, founded with over 24 years of experience working in the travel trade, both in the UK, US and Australian markets.

We specialise in sourcing high quality villas and houses for short term rentals (normally a week or more) for the discerning traveller, travel trade and their customers in regions served by the lowcost airlines. Our customers range from the independent and discerning travellers to large UK travel companies serving independent travellers and travel agents.

Why buy from us?

We have a passion for independent travel and believe there is a need for a place where travellers, agents and their travellers can readily access a real choice of villas and houses across the world.

Not only are these properties of a consistently high quality they also all have their own individual character, somewhat different from the rest.

Our research has shown that when independent travellers choose to stay in houses and villas abroad, they want:

• privacy and the freedom to come and go as they please :

• the opportunity to experience more than a packaged holiday product.

Travellers want the opportunity to eat at local restaurants, from the characterful "Osteria" in the Italian countryside to the local Greek "Taverna". Our accommodations enable this total choice and provide the traveller with the freedom to explore their surroundings, giving them a real taste for the country they are travelling in.

We have therefore put this site together to meet this customer need and to offer high quality information on the places we offer.
