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!
