Where are the Brits holidaying in Summer 2013?

June 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Forty years ago, CV Travel (then `Corfu Villas’) was sending its first guests to a handful of beautiful villas on the north east coast of Corfu dotted with tiny villages, olive groves, beachside tavernas and small boats bobbing on the glistening sea.  Today, this stunning stretch of coastline is still CV Travel’s heartland, which over the years has become the holiday choice of well-heeled Brits, and a few politicians and celebrities, who enjoy the charm that a villa holiday in this area continues to offer in abundance.

UPDATE, JUNE 2013 :-

GREECE

CV Travel’s villa holiday bookings to the Greek Islands of Corfu, Paxos, Lefkada and Kefalonia have increased, year on year, with around 20% more villa holidays already booked than in the same period in 2012.

ITALY

Tuscany, Umbria and the Amalfi Coast still draw a large number of British guests attracted by beautiful villas in the rolling countryside and romantic Saracen Towers on the coast.  However, regions such as Puglia and Basilicata have emerged strongly as awareness of their attractions grow and British guests seek out new Italian destinations and experiences.

Example availability:-

Masseria Oria, sleeping 10, has been looked after by generations of the same family and is set in 30 acres of gardens, surrounded by vineyards and hundreds of ancient olive trees. This lovely farmhouse boasts a rustic charm, complete privacy and is situated close to the beach and the wonderful landscape of Puglia, perfect for exploration by all the family.

With availability remaining, primarily in July 2013, price for seven nights from £4,995 including villa rental, maid service and welcome provisions, based on 10 sharing, for bookings made by 15 June 2013.
