You want to enjoy a quiet holiday far away from mass tourism to discover new parts of Europe. As it’s very expensive to open a new hotel in let’s say Ibiza, you’ll see entrepreneurs opening holiday homes in lesser-known parts of the country. Places where they grew up or stumbled upon on a (road) trip. Nature is often impressive and unspoiled and you get to discover a while new region. These are 10 of the most beautiful holiday homes on lesser-known destinations in Europe:
In between Barcelona and Valencia you’ll find Delta del Ebro, one of the largest wetlands of the western Mediterranean region and it’s where Borja and Rosa opened a secluded holiday home.
The most luxurious holiday home on the site is Calin in Valreas, just North of Avignon. It’s still close to le Provence, and especially if you’re in France to taste some wines you’re at the perfect spot nestled in between vineyards with Mount Ventoux in the background.
You’ll find the closest person on a 20-minute drive from Casa no Tempo. That’s how secluded this holiday home is, deep in the Alentejo region nearby Montemor-o-Novo. It sleeps 8 people and you’ll wake up with the most beautiful sunset – and bird’s concert – you’ve ever witnessed.
Looking for a vacation rental you can stay with up to 24 (!) people? Then Arc in Padstow is worth checking out. Padstow is an authentic coastal town in Cornwall.
A holiday home in a former sheep house with a small garden with hot tub – and a big bath inside too. A wellbeing break at its best. Only 20-minutes from Den Bosch in The Netherlands.
A serene guesthouse on a 30-minute drive to Hasselt. Perfect for couples who love to explore the surrounding nature.
Slightly different than the usual hotels on Zakynthos is this farmhouse surrounded by olive trees.
Only 45 minutes from Copenhagen by car and you’ll arrive at this loft with a panoramic view over nature. You’ll have everything you need: a comfortable bed, kitchen and Togo’s by Ligne Roset to read a good book.
The former villa of Monocle’s editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé is inspired on the 60s and has a green garden.
On a 2-hour drive from Paris, in Pays de la Loire, you’ll find this mill turned into a holiday home. Perfect stay with friends or family.
