Rosie Sutherland - Private Holiday Houses in Wonderful Locations

Here is just a selection of some of my holiday houses...  If you do not see your dream destination on my site – it is still worth checking with me - I have been in the holiday house business now for so long my address book is bulging with good contacts.

FRANCE
This summer I went to stay in Chateau de Combecave in South West France.

A romantic 18th century hillside chateau with swimming pool, surrounded by extensive grounds and with spectacular views of the rolling Quercy countryside in south west France.

MAURITIUS
Then to Mauritius where I have some lovely beach houses which are perfect for winter and spring holidays. They all have staff and I am working with a local agent who looks after guests very well.

MOROCCO
For a hot holiday this winter I have some lovely houses in Morocco – outside Marrakech in the country yet near enough to go and explore the bazaars and sights and if you are energetic go hiking in the Atlas or spend a couple of nights in the desert - or how about an exotic Riad in Taroudant in the south of Morocco?  You will enjoy being pampered in your villa - in the houses we have taken on the staff are all well trained and enjoy looking after their guests  -  Moroccan Holiday Properties

• I still have some lovely holiday houses on the sea and in the country in Italy and France so please have a look at the website and let me know what you are looking for.

PAINTING HOLIDAY IN TUSCANY
Please let me know if you might like to join a painting group for September next year - at the beautiful Borgo di Castelvecchio, a private estate in Southern Tuscany in the Val d’Orcia. The group will be led by inspirational Cotswold artists Chris Fothergill and David Durston



Accommodation will be in the houses of the Borgo around the courtyard.  There will be no single supplements and non painting partners are welcome.  Estimated *price will be between £1,000 - £1,200 GBP depending on numbers and we hope to have a group of up to 25 people.  
Please contact us for further details if you might like to come.

• *Price includes 5 nights accommodation, painting tuition, sight seeing trips, gourmet food and relaxation time by the pool!

 I look forward to hearing from you.   With best wishes – Rosie

Holiday Company Celebrates 20th Anniversary

Rosie Sutherland: Promoting holidays in the homes of the rich and famous around the world.
A Cotswold company is celebrating its 20th anniversary after promoting beautiful holiday properties across several continents for the wealthy and famous.


Rosie Sutherland Villas has gained a large reputation for helping owners of unique holiday homes from Italy to Jamaica, from Andalucia to Croatia to find discerning clients who would like to spend a week, fortnight or even a month in them.

Rosie said: "You would be hard pressed to find any of our properties in a travel companies brochure; each is unique, each offers the renter an amazing holiday in a wonderful place". Properties in Umbria are very popular, and in Andalusia The Finca Avedin is truly spectacular, offering luxury accommodation for 12, a huge swimming pool that looks towards a mountain and many exquisite local places to see.

It is representative of the properties ...breathtaking scenery, the rooms decorated in art, antiques and Moroccan artifacts, excellent living rooms, bedrooms and a loggia, enabling outside dining. A truly unique feature of Finca Avedin is its infinity swimming using non-chlorinated water and solar heating.

The gardens incorporate fountains, terraces, fruit trees and exotic plants. The cost? As an example the Finca Avedin can be rented for £4000 for one week (say £335 each, and this includes English and Spanish staff, with a resident cook preparing breakfast and lunch. The can also be engaged the evenings.

Add air fares, food and local travel, and the overall cost can still be extremely reasonable. Rosie said: "Practically every owner is a friend; their homes probably mean as much to me as to them." Rosie's fascinating career has included organising a reunion visit by the Monty Python team. Rosie Sutherlands Villas is based near Cirencester and many of the properties can be found on her website www.rosiesutherlandvillas.com
