Featured Vacation Rentals 
Holiday apartments
We specialise in helping people to find private accommodation to rent for their annual vacation and currently have more than 10,000 properties on our books, spread over 300 destinations across the globe. Our offices in Barcelona and London are staffed with multi-lingual customer service representatives that are waiting to help you choose the perfect spot for your next break. The properties that we have to offer are fully furnished and many feature modern conveniences such as air-conditioning and satellite television. If you have only ever stayed in hotels before, you are sure to appreciate the sense of freedom that renting your own place brings and the opportunity to experience the local culture first hand. Whilst room service can be very convenient, many people find that having their own kitchen, living room and laundry area allows them to enjoy a more independent break than would be possible if they stayed in a hotel room. Many owners are deciding to let their holiday apartments abroad nowadays, which means that it is easier to find last minute deals on a wide range of luxury properties than ever before. Breaks by the sea are seen as the ideal way to get away from it all and relax for a couple of weeks but if you are interested in art and architecture, a stay in the ancient city of Rome may be more to your liking. We have properties in prime locations in the Italian capital, including accommodation next to the Colosseum and Vatican City.
Short breaks
If you have a limited amount of free time or would like to stay in several different locations, it is possible to book many of our properties for just a few nights, and then move to another one that takes your fancy. Private owners often make more effort to ensure that visitors feel at home and from the feedback we receive, the personal touches that are a feature of the self catering holiday apartment rentals and cheap villas we offer are much appreciated. If a trip to Rome or Paris does not offer enough excitement for your liking, you may like to consider renting a luxury property in New York, with views of Columbus Circle and Times Square. Although the Big Apple is home to hundreds of excellent hotels, in order to experience life in the city as a native New Yorker does, nothing beats a stay in one of our luxurious Upper East Side properties. If retail therapy is your idea of heaven then this is most definitely the place for you. Alternatively, if 12th century Dutch architecture and canal views are more your style, we can recommend a trip to Amsterdam. We have a number of waterside properties on our books in this beautiful city, as well as loft residences that offer wonderful views over the medieval skyline. Our online booking service enables our customers to make a reservation to rent a holiday apartment direct from private owners at any time of day or night, without leaving home.
