Feeling hot, hot, hot!

Well actually, if any piece these days should start with a song, probably it should be 'I've got chills...they're multiplying...' although not quite '...losing control' yet, aside sliding the car down a few hills in the current ice and snow.

However I am happy to report the thaw and defrost is coming in the UK just now, rooftops and fields still have the gleaming white effect (of snow, then frost...then snow again) but the roads, slowly but surely are clearing and people are driving fast again (there were some of course who drove fast even in the ice, sometimes it works out, sometimes you read about them in the papers).

As a public service, here at Quality Villas, we bring you the hottest villas available. Glorious images of summer holiday villas, blue pools, blue skies, barbecues in full flow and sandy beaches with the waves lapping at your feet can all fill the mind!

For some holiday suggestions to enjoy the above, pick from these:

Italy, Amalfi coast: Il Delfino (http://www.qualityvillasitaly.co.uk/amalfi-coast-campania/atrani/il-delfino )
"...Il Delfino is the height of elegance: newly refurbished, the interiors are tastefully decorated using neutral colours, with splashes of colour provided by the frescoed, vaulted ceilings of the living room, choice pieces of furniture and the hand-made majolica tiles used in all the bathrooms. From the living room, with its views of the sea and Amalfi, you can access both terraces, which offer wonderful places to relax, soak up the sun and dine al fresco."

Italy,Tuscany: Il Capoccio (http://www.qualityvillasitaly.co.uk/tuscany/tavernelle-val-di-pesa/il-capoccio )
"...Sleeping 22 across a main villa and annex (cottage) the property includes a ' wellness centre' with a heated jacuzzi, sauna and small gym. The stunning outdoor pool area also sports a jacuzzi feature, meaning plenty of opportunity for rest and relaxation."

Italy, Lazio: Orazio (http://www.qualityvillasitaly.co.uk/lazio/selci-sabino/orazio )
"...Surrounded by olive trees and vineyards in the gentle hills to the north of Rome is this charming small villa located in the beautiful countryside of the Sabina region. The property has tiled floors, beamed ceilings and is elegantly furnished with country antiques giving a traditional Italian feel typical of this region."

For anyone still doubting the desire to travel to warmer climes or at least have something booked for the summer so that 'warmth' is pre booked (!) have a look in your back garden, or just on the road outside. Turn up the heat!

Our back garden...brrrr!







 

2013 is here...

Keep smiling...

So the festive period can now be said to be fully behind us. The Christmas Tree must be down by Sunday and if you are still eating turkey leftovers, you probably shouldn't be!

For those that partied on the 31/12, hopefully you have also recovered.

The issue now is that January is a month that looms large for not having a whole lot to look forward to, aside the desperate appearance of pay day at the end...which also looks way off at time of writing.

So how to cheer oneself up?

Apparently a holiday is a good cure for a lot of things, relieving stress when it does come round of course. However having something to look forward to through the dark months (a way to refer to winter time, when it gets dark early rather than anything else!) is to have a holiday planned and coming. That beacon of light on the horizon will warm the cockles at any time of year, so the thing is, to plan it early, then not only have you got it all sorted (thus you can start to tell friends and family how organised you are) but you also have that warm feeling inside knowing you have the place you want, for the dates you want.

At Quality Villas we are feeling the 2013 rush already, good news indeed as clients old and new get their villa holidays sorted, but have you sorted yours yet?
