Kick start your New Year Resolutions in Portugal with One Off Places...
Suffering from excessive Christmas consumption? New Year resolutions struggling to bed themselves in? Why not start 2009 as you mean to go on and enjoy a break at one of these beautiful places in Portugal. Each can provide therapies or treatments to cure your Christmas excess and set you up for a sparkling year ahead. And although Portugal may not occur as a winter or spring destination it has so much to recommend it. The climate is clear and cool, the countryside is stunning and best of all you won’t be drowning in hordes of fellow tourists!
Total Luxury with Onsite Spa Room and Treatments
Ideal for a group of family or friends looking to unwind together, the villa de Herdade has 7 luxurious ensuite bedrooms and is set in beautiful rolling grounds in Portugal’s Alentejo region. The weather is usually cool and clear during the early months of the year which makes this perfect for meandering walks and relaxing by the open fires. Most importantly there is also a spa room onsite – liaise with the owners to book facials, massages and body scrubs – or if you wanted to continue the Christmas excess you could even have a chocolate wrap! Other facilities onsite include a beautiful pool area plus there is babysitting, maid service and even chefs available to guarantee all your time there is spent on R&R rather than chores.

They invite you to stay on Friday and Saturday night with late check out on Sunday. They will organize a traditional Portuguese dinner at the property for either the Saturday or Sunday night, a breakfast hamper and even (pausing the detox for a minute) a wine tasting at a local vineyard (the closest vineyards have both won gold medals in Brussels for the wines in their class this year). This deal is available based on full occupancy (5 couples) and costs only €200 per person. Nearest airport – Lisbon (flights available from £125 per adult return)*. For further info, see: http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Portugal/Central-Portugal/Herdade-dos-Alfanges.aspx
Clear nights, calm days and views to die for
For more intimate trip why not take yourself over to Luminoso. Named after the evocative light and low pollution levels found in the area that allow wonderful star-spotting at night, this 2 bedroom cottage is nestled within the Alentejo countryside and has been built in a traditional Alentejo style. It has 2 bathrooms (one ensuite) and 2 terraces – both of which offer wonderful views across the Portuguese countryside. Life here is rustic and slow-paced – enjoy exploring it on foot, by car or even on horseback before coming back to relax with local food by the open fire. The nearby (but not too close!) owners are delighted to arrange photography courses, or more pertinently you can also sign up for a course in kinesiology – the alternative therapy of using 'Muscle Testing' to detect and correct imbalances in the body before addressing the underlying causes of disease or malfunction. Perfect for letting you know where you may be going wrong, and what to look for in the future! Nearest airport – Lisbon (flights available from £125 per adult return)*.

cottage near to Monchique. The cottage itself has 3 bedrooms, and a wonderful garden with wildflowers and a variety of trees. The surrounding area is crisscrossed with paths for walking, while the mountains nearby offer more views and even perhaps eagles soaring overhead to accompany you on your explorations. The owners will happily arrange for a masseuse to visit the house as a part of your detox regime – while the famous spa at Caldas de Monchique is only 20 minutes away and offers a full range of treatments and entertainments. There is horse-riding and mountain biking also available for more active visitors – and being only 40 minutes from the coast guarantees you many surf-tossed beaches and cliff top paths; ideal for blowing away the cobwebs and clearing your way for the push into 2009!

Hold Your Wedding In A Spanish Paradise With One Off Places
Stunning Spanish VenuePalacete de Cázulas is a country mansion in Andalucia, Spain. Dating back to 1492, it is a stunning venue for your special day with accommodation onsite, spacious and secluded grounds and even its own licensed chapel - everything is, quite literally, on your doorstep.
This is an outstanding country venue that can accommodate up to 24 guests onsite (20 in the main house in 11 bedrooms, and 4 in a cottage in the gardens), while there is a wide selection of hotels in nearby Almuñecar as well. It has been painstakingly restored throughout to reflect its Moorish heritage and its atmosphere and outstanding historical features, including some of the original furniture, Sevillian wall tiles etc. The ornamental Moorish gardens are stunningly maintained and offer guests the opportunity to wander or relax in total peace and tranquillity. Surrounded by centuries old palm trees, shady borders and colourful exotic plants, plus ancient cypress hedges border an attractive swimming pool that is fed by a natural spring. There are several terraces and a sizeable outside eating and bar area – all of which is surrounded by unspoilt views of the hillside and valley. It is a truly memorable place to hold your special day.
The gardens and terraces can accommodate up to 110 guests comfortably for the reception. The Chapel will seat up to 45 and a maximum attendance of 70 persons (the remainder standing). It is also possible to arrange as much or as little of the event through wedding co-ordinators who will be pleased to help with all aspects of the day. Costs for weddings depend on the couples requirement and will be quoted for on request.
Palacete de Cazulas is situated 20km from the seaside town of Almuñecar in Andalucia, Spain. It is only 55km from Granada airport, and 100km from Malaga airport. As well being only half an hour from the nearest beach, visitors to this region should also visit Granada with its dramatic Alhambra Palace (1 hour’s drive), and the ski resort of Sol y Nieve in the Sierra Nevada is only 1.5 hours away. There is also a huge choice of local sports, from deep sea diving on the coast to hangliding in the mountains which should be more than enough to occupy your guests in the run up to, or a few days after, your celebration. For further details, please see http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Spain/Andalucia/Palacete-de-Cazulas.aspx
Honeymoon to match...
Having made the trip over for your wedding why not take advantage and enjoy your honeymoon in one of the properties below – near enough for an easy transfer but far enough to really enjoy your time alone?
Only a few hours drive from Almuñecar , Dar Hajra is one of Andalucía’s most spectacular rental properties, sculpted around a rocky crag in a forest of the Grazalema park. The views are inspirational, the infinity pool amazing, and the house has been decorated with great style. You’ll find no more romantic a hideaway: this is a place to let your spirit soar.

Christmas by the sea and other stunning offers from One Off Places this Winter
What could be more romantic than a Christmas spent literally surrounded by sea views and salty air? Grab this incredible opportunity and stay in the stunning Plantation House with One Off Places. Walk into Yarmouth to explore wintery pubs or go further afield and take on the Tennyson Trail cliff walk for a view of the Needles. Or you could just stay home for a week, stoke up the log fire and call in a delivery of locally caught lobster, crab and line-caught bass for a Christmas meal with a real difference!
Plantation House is a unique architect-designed property on the edge of Yarmouth. Featuring 360 foot of sea frontage it provides the opportunity to stay within striking distance of the historic harbour and the attractions of the surrounding area. The house itself was originally built by Lady Caernarvon in 1930 in the grounds of her estate as “a place to enjoy sea views while surrounded by peaceful trees”. The trees have remained while the property was extended in 1988 and then entirely refurbished in natural materials in 2007, incorporating state of the art services. The result is luxury accommodation for up to six guests, with a living room with hardwood floors, an open fire and triple aspect views out to sea. See pictures attached, plus this link for more details: http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/England/Isle-of-Wight/Plantation-House.aspx
Owing to a recent cancellation Plantation House is available for rent over the Christmas and New Year period. Although it sleeps six people in three ensuite bedrooms, it is ideal for a smaller more intimate gathering as the owners are delighted to offer a 50% discount off their standard rate if only two people stay (making it £1450 per week), or 25% off for four people (i.e. £2175 per week). They are also willing to offer a shorter break if required, with a day rate at pro rata the weekly one (£207 for 2 people, or £310 for 4 people) for a minimum 3 night stay.
Getting to Yarmouth is simple. The nearest mainland ferry port is Lymington in the New Forest and the crossing takes only half an hour – upon arrival you either have a short drive or alternatively a bus or taxi from the harbour to the house. Or, if you get the ferry over from Portsmouth on the other side of the island (and you haven’t driven yourself) then the train station is only a mile’s bracing walk from your destination (or there’s always the bus or taxi!)
As well as Plantation House, One Off Places is delighted to offer the following winter break ideas or discounts:
Christmas skiing in the shadow of Mount Etna on Sicily?
Make it the experience of a lifetime - skiing on a volcano offers incredible contrast between black lava flow, white snow and (hopefully) blue skies above. And then you can get to the beach ad the Ionian Sea in an hour’s drive for a real contrast. House of Camellia is situated on an organic farm (providing citrus fruits and produce whenever you need it). It sleeps up to 6 in 2 bedrooms and is offering 20% of its usual rates over Christmas and the New Year making it only €520 / £440 per week. See attached photo and http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Italy/Sicily/The-House-of-Camellia.aspx . Flights* from £370 return per adult from London to Catania over Christmas week.
Thermal spa in Slovenia?
Lie back in steaming water while the snow falls all around you at Vino Cottage, a stunning location in the beautiful Goricko National Park in North East Slovenia. It sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms, has central heating and a wood burning stove and offers nearby access to trips into Austria, Hungary and Croatia plus there is skiing at Maribor, about an hour away. A totally new experience for only £200 per week throughout the winter months (or £50 per night). See attached photo and http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Slovenia/Prekmurje/Vino-Cottage.aspx . Flights* from London to Graz from only £314 return per adult over Christmas week.

Christmas and New Year Discounts - Get Wild and Wintry on the Isle of Harris with One Off Places
Winter in the Outer Hebrides may be pretty wild, but it will certainly be unforgettable. Whether you are curled up on a fireside sofa listening to the Atlantic winds, or outside enjoying vivid blue skies above white sandy beaches we guarantee that this is one place that will not leave you in a hurry!
Situated just a few miles from Leverburgh on the south west coast of the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Kyle’s House is a beautiful cottage from which to seek out everything that Harris has to offer. Set on a hillside, surrounded by wild flower meadow and heathland, it overlooks the Sound of Harris with spectacular views across the sea to the islands of North Uist, Skye and the many small islands of the Sound.
And due to a last minute cancellation there are currently discounts available during December and January, meaning that the cost of renting this Scottish bolthole comes down to only £900 per week over Christmas or New Year, and only £540 from January through to March. Kyle’s House sleeps 6 people in three bedrooms, 2 of which are ensuite. Downstairs, there is a fully equipped kitchen, a sitting room and the stunning sunroom that gives far-reaching views over the Sound of Harris –a great place to watch the scenery change in front of your eyes! The Outer Hebrides is a magical place to be at anytime of year but over these winter months it really is in a league of its own. Kyle’s House is a great base for long walks to explore the island, although with its cosy wood burner you'll feel just as content to relax with a good book and a glass of wine to enjoy this exceptional spot. Good pubs and restaurants in nearby Leverburgh allow you a real rest from the daily routine – it really is the perfect place to blow away the cobwebs of 2008 and recharge your batteries in anticipation of an exhilarating 2009.
See Kyle’s House here: http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Scotland/Islands/Kyles-House.aspx
You can travel to the Isle of Harris either on a ferry - Caledonian MacBrayne operates ferry routes to the island from Skye and North Uist. Cost of a car plus 4 occupants is around £90 and the journey takes under 2 hours from Uist. Ferries run roughly every other day – visit www.calmac.co.uk for details.
