A fantastic collection of private-hire holiday houses and luxury villas for vacation rentals - our little retreats of ‘private isolation’. Often the creative’s outpost, these rare holiday homes are designed for the aficionados of style who love hotel services from butlers to your own chef – these are your exclusive-hire self-catering rentals of style. For when you need that extra space and the whole damn place for yourself, whether you wanna rock like a star, get hitched behind closed doors, host a yoga retreat or just fancy having a ball with your friends Bond style – these are our XL+ luxury private-hire rental abodes, from rustic to mega to the designer architect's pad. We've even listed those small hotels that you can take over - so from a crowd to you soloists, this is escapism in style from Scottish estates to a designer lair in Merano.
