Valentines getaways

Rekindle the romance in your life with a short break away over Valentine's Day and enjoy an intimate experience in your own private home away from home.

A holiday rental is the ideal option for a couple's getaway, as you'll have the place to yourselves and no interruptions from other guests. It also often works out cheaper than a similar standard hotel, plus you have the option for romantic meals in, or breakfast in bed! To find the perfect love nest for you and your partner, head to HomeAway Holiday-Rentals, the UK's largest holiday rentals website, which still has thousands of romantic properties available to rent in Europe and further afield over February 14th.

Whether you choose the timeless romantic classic that is Paris, the mesmerising beauty of Venice or the medieval splendour of Prague, go for a romantic city apartment for complete privacy, flexibility and breathtaking views. Alternatively, surprise your other half with a more quirky getaway and rent an unusual property, like a Spanish cave house or a Scottish church conversion. There is an unrivalled choice of enchanting, unique homes throughout the world on HomeAway.co.uk, ranging from windmills and boats to cave houses and chapels.

So get yourself in the romantic mood and book one of the properties below or browse more romantic holiday homes on HomeAway.co.uk.
