Vintage Travel expands Spanish portfolio for 2010

Vintage Travel – specialising, exclusively, in hand-picked houses with private pools – has expanded its portfolio of properties in Spain for 2010 with additions including El Torero, a grand and elegant country home in Andalucia.

With high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and elegant archways, the property dates back to the 19th century and incorporates a stone tower originally used as a watchtower to defend the local town of Vejer de la Frontera.

El Torero, which is imposing and exquisitely furnished and surrounded by 350 hectares of wild olive trees and cork oak, sleeps 16 in eight en suite bedrooms and comes complete with air-conditioning, a private pool, enclosed lawned garden and daily maid service.

The property is only on offer during the month of August and costs £5,995 for seven nights’ rental.

More modest additions in Spain include Cal Nano, a detached three-bedroom, two bathroom villa set at the bottom of a hillside that forms part of the Les Gavarres mountain range in Catalunya.

The property, which sleeps six, is set in enclosed gardens with a large covered terrace and private pool and is situated just 1.5 km from the hamlet of Vall Llobrega and a 10-minute drive from the sandy beach of Castell.

The price of a week’s rental leads in at £695 at the end of March/beginning of April, rising to £1,995 in peak season.

Prices do not include return UK flights and car hire, but these can be arranged independently or by the company on request.
