Casa Candida, Vintage Travel, Galicia
Find your perfect holiday villa in Spain
Vintage Travel in Spain begins with villas in Galicia, the north west of the country where the Spanish like to holiday. The region is world famous for seafood and Santiago de Compostela. However, it’s also the place for the ethereal Cies Islands, sometimes known as the Spanish Seychelles. Beach holidays without crowds are a local speciality and part of Galicia’s charm is how easy it is to explore.
You probably know Catalunya best for Barcelona. But this remarkable north eastern region of Spain should be equally famous for its pretty mountain towns and wild natural parks. And that’s before we even get to talking about the stunning Costa Brava, Mediterranean beaches and phenomena like the mysterious Ebro Delta. Get the feeling Vintage Travel villas in Catalunya are made for adventurous family holidays? You’re not wrong.
Visiting every single villa personally must be heavenly for Vintage Travel in Andalucia. The villas here range from impossibly pretty to gorgeous and authentically Andalucian is always a theme. You can choose from townhouses in Ronda or villas with lake views in exquisite El Gastor. And closer to the coast, Vejer de la Frontera is a great fit for teens who want to surf on the Costa de la Luz and hang out in Cadiz.

Les Roques de Ca’n Guixe, Mallorca
Discover authentic island life with Vintage Travel in the Balearics
Spain’s Balearic Islands are a natural setting for handpicked villas with private pools. So of course Vintage Travel have a wonderful selection in both Mallorca and Menorca. Although, considering how close these islands are, they’re completely different.
Menorca is a brilliant choice for active families. We can personally recommend kayaking round the coast with kids. And try to walk at least a little of the marvellous Cami de Cavalls.
Mallorca seems enormous by comparison to Menorca, and it’s the best loved Balearic with very good reason. Palma de Mallorca is one of the most beautiful island capitals in the world and its cathedral will take your breath away. Historic mountain towns like Valldemossa and Deia have to be visited at least once. And the drive to Cap Formentor is another must do. However, several Vintage Travel villas are close to Mallorca’s legendary cala, so you may just be happy with beach time.

Discover secret regions of Portugal with Vintage Travel
Explore Portugal off-the-beaten track with Vintage Travel
Most families thinking Portugal for holidays, stop at the Algarve. However, Vintage Travel villas in Costa Verde and Minho in the north of the country could persuade you to think again. This peaceful region has fabulous beaches: vast, sandy and almost always uncrowded. It’s also the place to see time-stood-still towns and villages as well as a gentle, rural way of life that’s been unchanged for centuries. Although if you crave cities, dramatic Braga and historic Porto are both thrilling to explore with older kids.
For certain sun and some of the best surf beaches in Europe, family villa holidays in the Algarve have no equal. Thanks to a long, sunny season this is a great area for spring and autumn breaks with kids. Vintage Travel give you the choice of coast or countryside properties. Of course they all have private pools but many are also surrounded by large, safe gardens. And it’s good to know that you can still find pockets of peace in the very popular Algarve. We’re thinking of Ria Formosa or the magical barrier islands just off the coast at Tavira.
