MAR24The Supervillas Collection
-
When it comes to holiday luxury some of us like to stretch our legs and have more than a few home comforts. Others like to fly in by helicopter, enjoy the services of a private chef, have the run of a yoga studio, and command the best views on the bay. Or we might want to swap our urban rabbit hutch for a week in a modern architectural masterpiece, go Heston in a high-tech kitchen, and feel like a film star on the glamorous Côte D’Azur. With i-escape’s ‘supervillas’, that’s all possible…. Continue reading

MAR15New Portugal Collection!
-
From a 19th-century country house turned modernist hotel to a rural riverside retreat and revolving wine-barrel beds!
Our Portugal Collection has been boosted by ten new introductions: two hotels in Porto, six properties in the Douro, Minho and Beiras, and a couple of new finds in the Algarve. There are now a total of 43 options throughout the country, which range from a stylish B&B in the historic Ribeira neighbourhood of Portugal’s second city to rural family-focused apartments on the surfy side of the Algarve. Prepare to be charmed by Europe’s under-explored western fringe. Continue reading
