At Rural Escapes, we believe a true holiday is about finding a place that speaks to your soul. We’ve journeyed across Europe to discover those truly special spots – where the air is fresh, the views endless, and peace is always on the agenda. The result is a curated collection of luxury villas for rent; unique, five-star graded and full of charm. From the rugged beauty of Cumbria to the sun-dappled olive groves of Andalucia, each of these exclusive homes offers a place to escape the everyday and reconnect with nature.
We have curated an exclusive collection of unique properties that transcend a mere holiday to become welcoming sanctuaries. Our five-star-graded luxury villa rentals are private homes owned by locals, who are delighted to share them with guests to love them as their own. Each is selected for their unique character and the singular rural experiences they offer; private yoga in a medieval Andalucian hall perhaps, fly-fishing on Cumbria’s River Eden, or wine-tasting in tiny Portuguese vineyards. These are luxurious homes; but they are also gateways to genuine local life and unforgettable moments in some of Europe’s most captivating natural landscapes.
Journey beyond the ordinary to explore our special locations across Europe. Each one offers a unique luxury experience in a breathtaking natural landscape.
At Rural Escapes, our journey began with a simple yet profound vision: to offer discerning travellers a collection of truly exceptional, hand-picked properties with fascinating history, all located within some of Europe's most captivating rural landscapes.
We believe that true luxury lies in seclusion, authentic experiences, and the unparalleled beauty of nature. Every charming cottage and luxury villa rental in our portfolio is meticulously selected. Not only for its five-star grading, but also for its unique character, the way it melds into the stunning natural beauty that surrounds it, and the promise of an immersive escape.
Run by Tamar and Kate, at Rural Escapes, we use our discerning eye and experience working with Sawday's to handpick charming homes. We pride ourselves on finding experiences that are more than just holidays. Our carefully-selected sanctuaries offer the highest standards, allowing you to reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and the serene rhythm of the countryside.
From the artists, winemakers, sculptors, restaurateurs, archaeologists and more who own our properties to the unique local activities we highlight, every aspect of Rural Escapes is designed to offer an experience as unique and distinctive as you are yourself.
