Sustainable Decadence and Other Offers from One Off Places
One of the great opportunities of waiting until the last minute before booking a holiday is you could find yourself a real gem. One Off Places prides itself on providing a broad range of holiday properties that are all interesting, characterful and guaranteed to provide a really memorable break. The first property below is a wonderful place for a big group holiday – and amazingly they still have a week free in August, and a very unusual offer available on it! There are also three other places listed all with Summer availability (two rural, one city) – each of them is European, simple to get to and provides a great opportunity for a great trip away.
Any Reasonable Offer For a Glorious Finca in Andalucia – 9 bedrooms, sleeps 18.
Rancho del Ingles is an amazing old Finca in the centre of a spectacular rural estate with pool and extensive grounds, nestled peacefully in the foothills between the mountains and the sea. This property has grandeur, charm and character in abundance. From here you can explore Andalucia, or just relax by the pool with a stunning backdrop. Rancho del Inglés is secluded but not isolated with many terraces both sunny and shady. It is a reclaim enthusiast’s dream and features antiques and furnishings from all around the globe. There are carved doors, beds, columns, chests and tables from India and antique furniture, shutters and beams from Spain. It even contains bits of the Foreign Office, St Pancras Station, a Wandsworth church, a primary school in London and a Surrey Post Office! Even the tool shed has stained glass windows and outside you will find a trompe d’oeil water tank, a magnificent Bacchanalian fountain and a vintage tractor. They have even just built a new shower room from the old wooden slammer train doors from yesteryear, while another shower is open the elements on the vertical sides but private and sheltered. It really is the last word in sustainable decadence...
Week available from 15th – 22nd August. Normally £4350 for the week, but the owner is just keen to fill it and hence will accept “any reasonable offer”! Nearest airport is Malaga, which is only 15 miles away. Flights from £140pp* return from London Luton (Easyjet).
See http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Spain/Andalucia/Rancho-del-Ingles.aspx
20% off A Beachside Villa on the Dalmation Coast, Croatia – 3 bedrooms, sleeps 8.
This elegant stone waterfront house near the old town of Trogir is a mere 20 metres from the beach and affords splendid views out to sea. It has a beautiful Mediterranean garden and secluded shady areas under vines and pine trees where you can take a siesta! This family holiday house is surrounded by 500 m² of Mediterranean garden and is located in the south part of Ciovo, in the bay of Mavarstica.
Weeks available from 8th to 15th, and 15th to 22nd August. Normally €2100 / £1800 for the week, but the owner is now offering 20% off hence a week now will be only €1680 / £1440! Nearest airport is Kastela (Split), which is only 12km away. Flights from £185pp* return from Manchester on (flythomascook.com).
See http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Croatia/Dalmatia/Villa-Adriatic.aspx
Two Weeks in a Rural French Farmhouse in Mid-West France – 3 bedrooms, sleeps 7.
Classic French farmhouse conversion in the Limousin area near to Limoges. Overlooking the courtyard and on beyond with uninterrupted views of beautiful countryside, this property provides the opportunity to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding area as well as its abundant wildlife. Laze by the pool, enjoy a stroll around the estate or try kayaking, cycling, fishing or horse riding. The owners offer an advance grocery service, the opportunity to hire a British Classic car, the little bits'n'bobs ready for you in your gite. No unforeseen extras, privacy and no disturbances, but help and advice if you need it.
A late cancellation has left the last 2 weeks in August free (15th – 29th), and hence the price has dropped from £675 per week to only £500. Nearest airport is Limoges, which is only 40 mins away. Flights from £55pp* return from Bournemouth (Ryanair).
See http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/France/Limousin/Les-Bregeres.aspx
And finally, for something a bit more metropolitan in July...
Feng-Shui Studio Loft – Spend a Week Somewhere Different in Paris – 1 bedroom, sleeps 2.
This beautiful apartment has a 100% southern orientation and has been planned following the advice of E.H.Lo, a renowned master of Feng Shui. The walls are covered in artwork by the Parisian artist Bruno Pascal, and the interior decor was supervised by the internationally acclaimed architect Peter Tyberhien. The apartment is located in what has recently become a very trendy neighbourhood called So-Pi (South of Pigalle) out of the tourist area, yet within a five-minute walk of Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. The perfect chance to try something a little different in Paris; you won’t regret it!
Arrive for 7 nights starting July 17th and pay for only 5 – €720 / £625. Nearest airport is Paris Charles de Gaulle. Flights from £85pp* return from London Luton (Easyjet) – or from London to Gare du Nord on Eurostar from £70pp return (see www.eurostar.com).

New to One Off Places – beautiful properties for your July holiday
One Off Places is always delighted to expand its range of characterful holiday accommodation, and has recently seen applications from a number of wonderful new properties that have been updated inside and out before being made available for the coming Summer months. Each property’s registration has been approved owing to their adherence to the core values of any One Off Places property- namely to be distinctively decorated, to occupy an excellent position and to be guaranteed to provide a wonderful and memorable holiday to anyone lucky enough to stay there!
Below is a selection of accommodation that has been registered with us over the last few months. All of the below have availability throughout July and into August. To see our full range please visit www.oneoffplaces.co.uk .
http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Spain/Andalucia/La-Casa-del-Arriero.aspx
La Casa del Arriero is a romantic and secluded 2 bedroom cottage sleeping 4, set in magnificent walking country. Once the old muleteers house where he and his wife raised their 10 children (!), the cottage still retains much of its original charm and character. Upstairs is a huge double bedroom which leads onto a beautiful sun terrace with 180 degree views of the woods and valley below. Cortes de la Frontera is an attractive town set into a powerful range of limestone hills which look out over a gently sloping valley of olive groves, pasture and oak trees. It is a mecca for walkers as it borders onto 2 huge nature reserves - Grazalema and Los Alcornocales. Recent cancellations mean that July and the second half of August is still free. Prices for the week are €400 / £345. Nearest airport is Jerez – fly from London Stansted on Ryanair – prices start at £135pp return.
http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Portugal/Alentejo/Casa-do-Brasao.aspx
'Casa do Brasão' (The Coat of Arms Cottage) was originally built in 1856. It is a fully restored and stylishly decorated cottage sleeping 6 in bedrooms situated near Marvão and the natural park of 'Serra de São Mamede', an area of outstanding natural beauty. This charming cottage is situated on the edge of a small, peaceful Alentejo village untouched by time. Discover cobbled streets surrounded by beautiful olive groves, cork oak trees and ancient pathways. Open for its first season, it has two weeks still available in July (11th to the 25th) plus a week still free in August (15th to the 22nd). Prices per week are €575 / £495. Nearest airport is Lisbon – flights available from London Gatwick on Easyjet – prices start at £180pp return.
http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Spain/Andalucia/Maxwells.aspx
Maxwells is a traditional Spanish 3 bedroom town house (sleeping 6) but with all the style and comfort of a modern boutique hotel. Situated in the middle of a pretty Andalucian village the house has been finished to a high standard and is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. A stay in this lovely house gives you a chance to unwind and relax, to celebrate, to fall in love, to be with friends... to have a holiday. Recently re-opened following redecoration, they still have availability throughout July and most of August – contact owners for details. Prices for the week are €700 / £600. Nearest airport is Almeria – flights available from London Stansted on Ryanair – prices start at £125pp return.
http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Spain/Aragon/El-Portal-de-Bergos.aspx
El Portal de Bergos is not a modern villa on the busy Spanish coast but a beautifully restored house with 3 ensuite bedrooms (property sleeps 8 in total) dating from the XIV century in the heart of a medieval hilltop village 50 miles from the Mediterranean. This is the other Spain: unspoilt mountainous countryside, beautiful rivers, enormous variety of flora and fauna, and few people! The Matarranya region is full of gems – medieval villages with gothic castles, hermitages set on hillsides overlooking a patchwork scenery of olives, almonds, vines and pine forests. Here the traditional fiestas, the folk music and dancing and the gastronomy are still preserved. This world is set against the spectacular backdrop of the National park of the Puertos de Beceite, where you will find rivers with waterfalls, eagles, ibex and wild orchids. This is the real Spain that few are privileged to get to know. Amazingly there is still availability throughout July and August. Prices for the week are €750 / £645. Nearest airport is Barcelona – fly from London Stansted on Easyjet – prices start at £140pp return.

Live like royalty for a week with One Off Places
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.

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...
See: http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/France/Provence-Cote-dAzur/Lou-Capitani.aspx
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...
See: http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/France/Rhone-Alps/Narnia.aspx
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...
