James Villas Training at Chapel Down Winery

When I got the opportunity to visit a winery for a training day, I couldn't miss it! I did have to drive though so had to make use of the bucket provided! Chapel Down Winery is in the beautiful Kent countryside and we were so lucky with a gloriously sunny day! If you want something a little different to do, I'd highly recommend the tour and tasting followed by lunch in their restaurant, we had a lovely afternoon there.

Before we were treated to the tour, tasting and lunch we had a training with our supplier James Villas. They feature a massive range of villas (3000+), all with private pools. They have a variety of standards suiting every budget from their classic collection up to their luxury villas where we can sometimes even arrange your very own chef! They have villas that are completely isolated and they also have options that don't even require car hire due to their central locations, so something for everyone!

They also have a handful of baby and toddler friendly villas - swimming pools with small children can be a worry so not only do these villas have gated pools, they also provide a variety or things you need when travelling with small children from highchairs to potties and from plastic table-wear to a small selection of books & DVDs!

In many countries there are villa managers available in resort who often live in these places (they aren't just there for the season!). Greece is one of their biggest growing areas with a large choice of islands and resorts available and some quite off the beaten track. Algarve remains a firm favourite for villa holidays as do Cyprus and Florida.

They do have late availability for this summer but their main promotion currently is for 2020 with early booking offers available across many of their villas from free car hire to free welcome packs. If you fancy your own space and private pool (no fighting for sunbeds!) for 2020 then do get in touch, all their holidays can be packaged with flights and car hire giving you complete peace of mind and of course, all bookable through me.
