Easter Holidays
Celebrate Easter the Spanish way and join colourful “Semana Santa” processions and extravagant fiestas in Malaga. The processional floats are renowned for their size, some requiring up to 200 “costaleros” to carry them. Stay in a beautiful four bedroom rural home which is available for £825 per week based on 8 people sharing (£103 per person per week). This house is a perfect base from which to enjoy the Easter celebrations and explore the outstanding beauty of the Sierra Tejada National Park, coastal towns and local villages.
Families looking for an active break can venture further afield and enjoy awesome surf on Glen Beach in South Africa. Located only 15 minutes drive from Cape Town, it offers seclusion and a more exclusive vibe than neighbouring Camps Bay. Glen Beach Villa sits just above the beach and offers spectacular vistas of the 12 Apostles mountain range and the ocean. Available from £510 per week based on 6 people sharing (£85 per person per week), this contemporary three bedroom house is only a short walk from local restaurants, theatre and convenience shopping.
Those staying close to home must not miss the annual Easter Egg Challenge at Blenheim Palace, which takes the little ones on an exciting Easter egg hunt in the beautiful Pleasure Gardens. A tastefully converted stable, Aintree Cottage in Bruern, Chipping Norton, is ideally located to enjoy the Easter celebrations at Blenheim and many activities in the surrounding Cotswolds, such as walking and horse riding. The cottage is available from £500 per week based on 6 sharing (£83 per person per week).
Summer Holidays
Non-Eurozone destinations are popular with holidaymakers this year as they seek better value for money. Bulgaria is known for its unspoilt and empty beaches, and there are still many parts of the country to be discovered. Bansko is one of the most developed ski and winter resorts in Eastern Europe and its proximity to Pirin National Park (a UNESCO site), pine woods and lakes makes it also an ideal spot for summer holidays. Families can enjoy the Bansko Jazz Festival which is the most prestigious music festival in the country. Amazingly, prices for mountain chalets and apartments start from as little as £100 per week.
Turkey's Aegean shores are home to vast and pristine beaches, idyllic fishing villages and ancient ruins. There is something for everyone – sun lovers, culture enthusiasts, as well as the more active types. From £105 per week for a city apartment to £1,500 per week for a stunning villa for 10 people, there is a home to suit every taste and budget.
Families looking for unspoilt and rustic Italy should look no further than Puglia. The area combines all the charm, beauty and history of Italian culture with incredible food and wine. Families can stay in a “trullo”, a traditional stone dwelling with a conical roof. Available from £1,200 per week, Trullo Cattevodda has been painstakingly restored to provide an idyllic setting for an unforgettable Puglian holiday for a family of four.
