The Key to a Truly Relaxing Family Vacation in Europe

      Although the phrases "truly relaxing” and "family vacation” don't always go together, Abercrombie & Kent is changing that with its Villa vacation offerings in Europe. Abercrombie & Kent's European Villas provide travellers the freedom to choose the exact level of service needed to make their trip an actual vacation. 

    Popularity of villa vacations has increased dramatically, largely because of the flexibility offered. Whether travellers are looking for a quiet coastal retreat with just enough room for a few friends or a large farmhouse with accommodations and activities for generations of extended family, Abercrombie & Kent has offerings throughout Italy, France, Greece and Spain. Many travellers also desire the amenities and luxuries of a hotel – perhaps a personal chef or an expert sightseeing guide – combined with the comforts and conveniences of home – saunas, gyms, home theaters, and swimming pools. The ability to make their own day-to-day schedule is especially important for families and larger groups. 

     "Sophisticated travellers recognize that with recent currency fluctuations, villa vacations offer extraordinary value compared to suites in luxury hotels,” explains Scott Wiseman, Managing Director of luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent. "Frequent travellers to Europe prefer the chance to live like a local in the privacy of their own home away from home. And our guests tell us that a villa is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday, wedding, anniversary or retirement with family and friends.”
 
New for 2008

     To address the increase in demand, Abercrombie & Kent has added 32 new properties in the most popular regions of Tuscany and Umbria, the Cote d'Azur and Provence, as well as new destinations such as Capri and the Bay of Naples and the Dordogne - see below for examples. To help find the villa that is right for you, photos and detailed descriptions of more than 71 properties in France, Italy, Greece and Spain can be accessed online at: www.abercrombiekent.com/villas
