Palacete de Cazulas is a stunning country mansion near Granada, Spain. Dating back to 1492, the residence has been restored into stylish and modern accommodation that sleeps 20 people in 12 bedrooms (all ensuite) in the main house. It has luxurious interiors – from the spacious entrance hall with 300 year old tiles to each beautifully individual bedroom. There are immaculate gardens with a 30ft spring fed swimming pool and a tennis court. There is even an onsite chapel if you wanted to partake in an off-the cuff wedding service – the owners offer a full planning service for that as well. Several outside terraces enable sunbathing plus eating al fresco in the Spanish sunshine at every opportunity and the location on the hillside means that there are stunning views over Spanish countryside to enjoy as well.
Should you and your fellow guests tire of the entertainments onsite, Granada is only one hour’s drive from here with its exquisite Alhambra Palace and other cultural attractions. The coast is 30 minutes away – take a 90 minute drive and you can even ski at Sol y Nieve in the Sierra Nevada. Whatever your activity of choice, you can find it here in this incredible place.
And best of all, under a current special offer a group of 20 people here will only pay €400 / £355pp for a week’s stay in April, May or June on a self-catering basis. Factor in flights to nearby Granada airport for under £100 return* from London airports and you all can enjoy a real one off holiday at a very reasonable price.

Have a look at the below for some beautiful and unique places to stay in Spain this year – for all group sizes and budgets...
Dar Hajra, Ronda. One of Andalucia’s most spectacular rental properties, sculpted around a rocky crag in a forest of the Grazalema park.

La Molina del Olivar, Andalucia.

Barri Gothic Loft, Barcelona. This authentic Spanish home is located on a quaint pedestrian-only street and lies only six feet from the original Roman wall that surrounded "Barca" some 2,000 years ago.

Get 25% off an early Summer week in France with One Off Places
Although many places are now starting to book up for peak season, there are still late bargains available in the early Summer months. France has been a particularly popular source of enquiries this year – despite the fears over the euro exchange rate evidence suggests that many people are looking to it as a “suitably” close destination in these straitened times!
In fact, France is so much more than convenient. It offers a huge range of different holidays – from the lazy afternoons in dusty sunshine and vivid landscapes of the south, through to the adrenalin sports and the rarefied air in the Alps. Even the Midi Pyrenees are something of a hidden gem – great views, sleepy villages and places to explore – not to mention the nearby access over to Spain if you need a change of language!
Laze in the early Summer sun on the Cote D’Azur from only £160 per person:
A perfect holiday villa with its own pool sleeping 8 in 4 bedrooms, Lou Capitani is a secluded 300 year-old Provençal 'mas' set in 2.5 acres on a hill in the midst of pines, olive trees and vineyards, with stupendous views south and west over unspoilt Bandol wine country and the Mediterranean. The area provides wonderful opportunities for hill, coastal and cross-country walks, as well as beaches and creeks: the famous Calanques between Cassis and Marseille, and the remarkable Ste Baume range. And best of all, the owners are advertising 25% off all available weeks until September - which gives you a rate of only £1,250 from now until 23rd May, and £1,585 from then until September. Factor in return flights from London Stansted to Toulon / Hyeres (35 mins away) for less £100 per person return - and maybe the glamorous South of France isn’t as out of reach as you may have thought...

Mountain Views, Blue Skies and Crystal Air in the Rhone Alps from only £195 per person
Although the village of Chamonix is justifiably renowned as a skiing mecca, it has just as much to offer during the warmer months. In the summer Chamonix has a lively activities programme offering the many adventure sports including: hydro speeding, canoeing, white water rafting, paragliding or even a leisurely round of golf. If you want to head into the mountains, Chamonix's summer activities include mountain biking, rock climbing and abseiling. And back at home, Chalet Narnia has 4 bedrooms (3 doubles and 1 bunk room sleeping 8) and two bathrooms. There is under floor heating throughout the ground floor and an open wood fire. The kitchen is fully equipped with 2 ovens, 5 ring gas hob, dishwasher etc. The chalet has UK Sky+, wireless internet throughout, LCD flat screen TV/DVD (with large DVD collection) and a quadraphonic home sound system. So once you have worn yourself out during the day there will be more than enough to keep you occupied during the evening recovery period! 25% off the standard rates for May and June means that the whole chalet is only £1540 for a week. Assuming you want to fly in, return flights from London Luton are again available for less than £100 which immediately makes your mad week in the mountains mighty reasonable as well...

Lie Back and Take It Easy in the French Countryside from only £78 per person
Here is a place that has been designed with your relaxation in mind. Walnut Cottage is a charming restored stone house with 3 bedrooms (sleeping 5) situated in a quiet and beautiful village with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and only 10 minutes from Saint Antonin Noble Val. The property includes 12 acres of fields, meadows, a forest and a stream and the whole area is buzzing with wildlife. Rolling countryside of sunflowers and lavender fields, plus the majestic charm of the vineyards is something you will appreciate every day. The climate of the Midi-Pyrenees is typified by mild winters and long warm summers. This area is very green with dramatic gorges, rivers , forests and rolling farmland, and for those that really can’t sit still there is canoeing on the Aveyron river, cycling, walking, rock climbing , caving, horse riding and bird watching all nearby. Take 25% off the standard rate for June and July and your relaxation becomes even more reasonable – only £390 for the week combined with a flight cost under £100 from Gatwick to Toulouse makes for a very mellow week indeed...
