We have some incredible homes in our collection, but some come with stories that go back hundreds of years. So, we thought it was time we started sharing them.

First up in our new Homes with History series is Jacobean Manor in North Wales.

The Grade I listed manor was built in 1625 and, remarkably, is still owned by direct descendants of the Lloyd family who built it. The family’s history here stretches back even further, with ancestry traced to Hywel ap Edwin, Prince of Wales in 1096.

There are reminders of its past throughout the house – oak panelling, original beams, intricate carvings, oil paintings and antique four-poster beds. The master bedroom was even the drawing room back in the 18th century.

Today, it’s a home for up to 18 guests, surrounded by beautiful gardens and 100 acres of private estate in the North Wales countryside. Quite a lot of history for one holiday home.

We’ve spent all summer complaining about being too hot, so maybe the holiday we need isn’t another heatwave.

Think a mountain hideaway in the Dolomites, a villa among Slovenia’s Alpine valleys, a home near the breezy Atlantic coast of northern Spain, or somewhere wonderfully remote in the Scottish Highlands or Finnish Lapland.

Because a summer escape doesn’t have to mean chasing 30°C. Sometimes, a beautiful home, cooler mornings, fresher evenings and actually wanting to leave the shade sound pretty good.

HOME OF THE WEEK

Framed by Les Alpilles, La Demi Lune has all the makings of a rather special week away: a 17-metre pool, private tennis court, hammam and some seriously beautiful gardens filled with lavender, olive trees and roses.

There’s a vegetable garden to pick from, fresh eggs from the henhouse, five bikes for exploring and even a couple of resident donkeys and goats. The five king bedrooms sleep 10 adults, while a separate dorm-style room sleeps up to five children – ideal for a big family stay.

And when you do want to venture further, Eygalières is just 3km away, with Saint-Rémy-de-Provence within easy reach too.

For those who judge a holiday home by its interiors first… 👀

Soaring Gothic windows, sculptural kitchens, rooms drenched in terracotta, marble bathrooms and glass-walled living spaces that disappear into the landscape.

Six very different homes, each with interiors that deserve a place on the wish list.

Which one are you checking into? 🗝️

We look at a lot of villas every day, so which ones actually make it onto our own Wishlists? 👀

We asked a few of the teams who know our collection inside out to choose where they’d most like to stay in 2027.

The result: Provence vineyards, Lanzarote sunshine, the Sicilian countryside, sea views in Crete and a classic Algarve escape in the heart of the Golden Triangle.

Swipe to see what made the cut – then tell us, which one are you saving?

Planning a retreat? Your setting can make all the difference. 🌿

Many of our larger homes offer far more than somewhere to stay, with the space, privacy and facilities to bring a whole group together under one roof – whether you’re planning a wellness weekend, creative retreat or something entirely your own.

Villa Jolivet in the South of France is a rather brilliant example. Set across 40,000 square metres of private countryside, this restored 600-year-old farmhouse sleeps 19, with a huge pool, tennis and pétanque courts, a gym, cinema room, library and plenty of space to gather (or disappear for an hour).

Jennifer, founder of The Medium Experience and The Experience Retreats, recently chose Villa Jolivet for one of her female-only spiritual retreats – designed around real transformation, without sacrificing a taste for luxury. We absolutely loved seeing the home brought to life.

Consider this slight drop in temperature your sign to start thinking about Christmas in the mountains… 🎄⛷️

Snow outside, a fire going, everyone under one roof, and the very real possibility of spending Christmas morning on skis. Or New Year’s Eve somewhere in the Alps with Champagne already on ice.

From Megève and Courchevel to Chamonix, Morzine and Val d’Isère, we've been eyeing up the chalets and mountain homes we’d happily disappear to this winter.

A 150-year-old Victorian water tower. On the Sandringham Estate. For two. 👀

Meet our rather extraordinary new arrival: The Water Tower at Sandringham.

Built in 1877, this neo-Byzantine landmark has stood above the Norfolk treetops for almost 150 years – and now, for the first time, you can stay here.

And it’s certainly not your average couples’ escape.

The rooms wind upwards across four levels, from a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor to a king-size bedroom overlooking the Estate, followed by a cosy treetop living room with a working fireplace. Then comes the best bit: climb the narrow spiral staircase, and you’ll emerge inside the Tower’s original 32,000-gallon cast-iron water tank, now transformed into a secluded rooftop terrace. Expect uninterrupted 360° views across Sandringham and the Norfolk countryside. 🌳

The Tower was originally designed by Victorian engineer James Mansergh as part of a new water system for Sandringham House. He also recognised that its position offered a rather spectacular view, creating a viewing room where Royal guests once gathered during picnics. Almost 150 years later, you can look out over those same grounds.

Inside, much of that history remains: curved walls, winding staircases, historic photographs and reclaimed features from across the Estate all form part of the stay.

And The Water Tower isn’t our only rather special address here...

It joins The Folly at Sandringham and The Gardens House at Sandringham, which became part of our exclusive collection in 2025 – three completely different ways to stay within this historic Norfolk estate.

Beyond your front door? Sandringham’s gardens, parkland and walking routes, with the beaches and villages of the North Norfolk coast within easy reach.

The Water Tower at Sandringham sleeps 2 and is available exclusively through Oliver’s Travels.
