We have some exceptional large villas to rent across the world, from manor houses right here in the UK to a hop over the water to a grand chateau in France, or a villa nestled among vineyards in Italy. What about a chic stay beside the beach in Spain, or on a private estate in Portugal?

Well, the name says it all really - this stunning home dates from the 1500s and has been lovingly modernised (there’s even a pool!) while retaining original features that give the house its historic charm.

This impressive-looking little palace is set within the historic walled town of Loches and includes a grand dining room, pool table and lush gardens that the whole party will enjoy. Dinner here will encourage you to raise a toast of something sparkling from the nearby vineyards of the Loire Valley.

The elevated views of Lake Garda will stop everybody in their tracks upon arrival to this magnificent villa. Part of our Sustainable Collection, this home has a big focus on eco-friendliness with a huge organic garden and clever features inside the house with underfloor heating and living space ventilation.

Luxurious, spacious and super chic. That’s how to sum up this gorgeous home. Taking up a position overlooking stunning Mallorcan countryside you’ll also be well placed for exploring nearby Soller - that’s if you can drag yourself away from the amazing pool!

This traditional style home is peppered with intriguing furnishings and objects as well as a cool feature ‘floating’ fireplace. There are impressive entertaining spaces and a lovely pool which invites a cooling dip.

A beautiful blend of old and new, this is one of our top props in Corfu. You’ll have elevated sea views, beaches and the town just minutes away and even a private chef included in the price! What more could you want?

You’ll never want to leave this dreamy home with its infinity pool, large outdoor terrace for dining and contemporary interior design. The views over glimmering Kalamar Bay will be perfectly framed by the villa’s giant sliding picture windows, a sight that only gets more dramatic as night descends.

Haven’t you always dreamed of staying in a classic Caribbean plantation-style home? Well, now you can. Inside you’ll delight in luxurious design before heading out for a cool-off in the pool surrounded by verdant gardens dotted with swaying palms. How dreamy does that sound?
