— There will never be a case of being disturbed by other guests, piped music that irks, menus that don’t appeal or pool side battles for sun chairs at these vacation homes as the only other guests will be friends or family! Welcome Beyond introduces some of its favourites.
By Welcome Beyond
— Pick #1: Aufberg 1113 in Piesendorf, Austria
Nestled in the Austrian Alps, this vacation home featuring two rental apartments is affording lovely views of two valleys on one side and a glacier on the other. The house’s architecture is a combination of wood, natural stone, exposed concrete and glass, with clear lines and generosity.
— Aufberg 1113 in winter
— What’s there to do?
Aufberg 1113 is surrounded by mountains, glaciers and lakes. Most impressive is probably the famous alpine road ‘Großglockner Hochalpenstrasse’.
— Pick #3: Villa Mayana in Puntarenas, Costa Rica
This vacation rental and its surroundings have a calming, peaceful atmosphere. The house is a wonderful place to relax and reflect. The sights and sounds that greet you — the monkeys, toucans and other animals, the luscious plant life and the view of the mountains, beach and ocean — are breath-taking.
— Villa Mayana view
— What’s there to do?
The villa rental is 30 seconds away from the beach, 5 minutes from Uvita and about 7 minutes from Domincal. Everything is right there, but once you enter the driveway, you are surrounded by nature in your own private reserve.
— Pick #2: Chateau du Chiron in Limousin, France
A three acre walled park gently follows the contours of the landscape to the original entrance of this picture-perfect castle. Beautifully restored in classic contemporary style, this 19th century home is now the perfect vacation rental for a group get-together or special occasion.
— Chateau du Chiron pool area
— What’s there to do?
The outside pool, surrounded by comfy loungers, is the perfect spot to enjoy your vacation relaxing and unwinding.
— Pick #4: Phuket Villa in Phuket, Thailand
Phuket Villa, located in the exclusive Cape Sol on the West coast of Phuket, is designed as an exclusive private vacation home, ideal for families or groups of friends. The luxury villa rental is a unique ultra modern design with magnificent ocean views.
— Phuket Villa aerial view
— What’s there to do?
Visit the amazing limestone islands poking out of the ocean with private beaches — take a picnic. Or go for a trip through the local forest on the back of these giant elephants. It’s good fun!
