						Stadt am Fluss<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Das ber&#252;hmteste Hausboot hat Mark Twain erfunden, er schickte Huckleberry Finn damit auf den Mississippi &#8211; ganz real kann man nun auf der Spree herumtuckern. Genauer: auf dem Rummelsburger See, einer Spree-Bucht mitten in Berlin. Besitzer des schwimmenden Hauses ist Chris Laugsch, er  schw&#228;rmt: &#8222;Der Blick ist umwerfend. Es gibt keinen vergleichbar einzigartigen Platz in ganz Berlin.&#8220; Rund 60 Quadratmeter ist das Boot gro&#223;, selbst im Winter l&#228;sst es sich dank Ofen im gro&#223;z&#252;gigen Wohnbereich mit Doppelbett und Couch gut aushalten. Zu mieten ist das Hausboot deshalb das ganze Jahr &#252;ber. Die Inneneinrichtung ist schlicht, bodentiefe Fenster lassen weit blicken: Hier ist die Umgebung, die Stadt der Star. Sollte die Verpflegung knapp werden, liegen die Stadtteile Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Neuk&#246;lln, Lichtenberg oder Treptow nur einen Steinwurf entfernt. Sage noch einer in Berlin w&#252;rden nur noch stereotyp aussehende Hotels errichtet.&#8221; &#8212; September 2013</span>

						Hoteles Top<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Elsewhere (Goa, India): Su decoraci&#243;n comulga a la perfecci&#243;n con sus alrededores y es el lugar perfecto para la aventura en India. Su playa infinita lo hace un lugar id&#237;lico y especial para el relax total de unas merecidas vacaciones. De bajo perfil y sin lujos exagerados, est&#225; manejado por la misma familia desde finales del siglo XIX y muy poco ha cambiado aqu&#237;. Encantador, &#250;nico e irrepetible, la casa principal es una de la pocas que han permanecido en pie en la playa de Goa y refleja un mundo de otro tiempo.

						Habitaci&#243;n con vistas: Juvet Landscape Hotel<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;El bosque del oeste de Noruega irrumpe a trav&#233;s de los gigantescos ventanales de tu caba&#241;a. &#193;lamos, abedules, pinos y, al fondo, entre las ramas, los afilados picos de las monta&#241;as. La nieve derretida de sus cumbres nutre el curso del r&#237;o Vall- d&#248;la, que discurre bajo tu cama. Si piensas que es un sue&#241;o, pell&#237;zcate, pero est&#225;s en el hotel Juvet Landscape, muy cerca del espectacular fiordo de Geiranger y de la famosa Trollstigen Mountain Road, la &#8216;escalera de los troles&#8217;, una de las carreteras m&#225;s escarpadas y bellas del mundo. Aqu&#237;, en una vieja granja de trescientas hect&#225;reas, los arquitectos del estudio Jensen &amp; Skodvin Arkitektkontor se las ingeniaron para construir siete caba&#241;as de madera y cristal, elevadas sobre palafitos de metal, sin intervenir ni un &#225;pice en el entorno. El interior &#8220;es como estar dentro de una c&#225;mara de fotos en la que las ventanas son las lentes&#8221;, explica su propietario, Knut Slinning. La decoraci&#243;n es la m&#237;nima: una cama con mullidos edredones, una mesita y un par de sillas. Ni cua- dros, ni cortinas. Lo importante est&#225; ah&#237; fuera, y cuando sale el sol es hora de levantarse. &#191;Rafting? &#191;Trekking hasta los glaciales? &#191;Esqu&#237; en el mes de junio? Si necesitas volver a pe- llizcarte, hazlo, pero no est&#225;s so&#241;ando.

						Skip the hotel, stay in a horse<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;A family-size tree house in French wine country; an igloo in the Swiss Alps; a hotel located 21ft under the sea in Florida &#8211; chances are you won&#8217;t find these holiday accommodations on your favourite online booking site. Instead, a few out-of-the-ordinary lodging websites &#8211; Canopy and Stars, Unusual Hotels of the World and Welcome Beyond &#8211; have cornered the market in alternative, independently owned accommodations that are sure to make any vacation more memorable, such as a desert cave hotel in Australia, a modernist-style houseboat in Berlin or a former radar tower converted into a bird-watching station in Panama.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Welcome Beyond: Castles, design hotels and villa rentals make up most of the listings on this Berlin-based website, which includes about 137 properties in more than 37 countries. Users can use a map or a drop-down menu to search by categories, such as &#8220;unusual destinations&#8221; and &#8220;food and drink&#8221;, with about 25 truly off-the-radar finds, including igloos in Switzerland and Germany and a hotel in an ancient cave in the Italian village of Matera. &#8212; July 2013</span>

						<![CDATA[
						Modern Houseboat, Berlin, Germany<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Upping the boho ante in east Berlin, Modern Houseboat launched this summer on Lake Rummelsburg, 15 minutes from the city centre. (...) It manages to pack in an open kitchen, custom-made furniture, fireplace and natty Condesa chair into just 60 square metres. Watch the ducks paddle by or charter Stadbote&#8217;s retro speedboat &#8216;El Tigre&#8217; to zip to the Reichstag, the double-decker Oberbaumbr&#252;cke bridge by Otto Stahn or the numerous beach bars on the river Spree. The conceptual art gallery Sammlung Haubrok and hip restaurant Pauly Saal are within peddling distance if you take one of the Bella Ciao bikes available. Sleeps two adults and two children.&#8221; &#8212; July 2013</span>

						The Big Six: Berlin boltholes<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Chris Laugsch set up the Berlin-based hotel collection, Welcome Beyond, in 2009. Having spent four years sizing up the best places to stay around the world, he has now unveiled his own, rather less conventional property. Set on a section of the River Spree, the Modern Houseboat is testament to Laugsch&#8217;s keen eye for design with custom-made furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows, an outdoor deck and two Bella Ciao bikes for riding into town.&#8221; &#8212; July 2013</span>

						<![CDATA[
						A Modern Houseboat in Berlin<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Situated on Lake Rummelsburg, a small bay in the river Spree, in the city of Berlin, this houseboat gives you relaxing views of the water, as well as the city, but keeps you in close proximity to the city&#8217;s center. Part of the Welcome Beyond family of vacation rentals around the world, the Modern Houseboat offers two adults and two children a cozy place to stay on the lake while not leaving you in complete seclusion.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">The entire front of the structure is covered with windows that open up to the bay and even give you views of the famous TV tower. By opening up in this direction, it helps you leave the bustling city behind while you stare out to the open water. The minimal interior helps to not distract you from the all-important view. Most of the simple furniture was custom-made for the property and these low to the ground sofas look perfect for napping while watching the ducks swim by. The fireplace helps warm the boat in the winter. Don&#8217;t worry, the boat is also equipped with air conditioning for the hot summer months. Overall, the boat is about 60 square meters (or 645 square feet) of space featuring an open kitchen, a large living room with a retractable double bed and sofa, a shower room, a toilet, and a main bedroom complete with a double bed overlooking the water.&#8221; &#8212; July 2013</span>

						Stay... on a Modern House Boat<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Berlin is known for having one of the most vibrant international art scenes and it&#8217;s also known to be one of the most difficult to tap into. Many galleries and art spaces are tucked into alleyways and buildings that aren&#8217;t immediately obvious to the casual passerby. We consulted some of our in the know friends there, like Ambra Medda of L&#8217;ArcoBaleno, and went searching for the best places to find art and design on a weekend trip. Here&#8217;s what we discovered:</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">The guys at Welcome Beyond, a go-to for unique places to stay around the world, (check out their &#8220;Custom Property Search&#8221; service for even more tailored options) invited us to stay as their guests in a newly-built and spacious houseboat located on a harbor on a Spree river bay. With beautiful views, and outfitted top to bottom in contemporary design, it&#8217;s a world away from Berlin&#8217;s busy streets. Get around the bicycle friendly city on Bella Ciao bikes, which come with the boat and make it easy to get from one art space to the next. &#8212; June 2013</span>

Nach einem kr&#228;ftigen Fr&#252;hst&#252;ck mit Eiern, Speck und Pancakes kann es losgehen zu einer der vielen Touren (verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade), die man von dieser ungew&#246;hnlichen Unterkunft aus starten kann. Kommt man ersch&#246;pft zur&#252;ck, l&#228;sst es sich unter freiem Himmel und inmitten der wundersch&#246;nen Kulisse in einer freistehenden Vintage-Badewannen entspannen. Oder man geht in einer der Jurten saunieren. Insgesamt stehen neun dieser speziellen &#220;bernachtungsm&#246;glichkeiten zur Verf&#252;gung &#8211; jeweils mit zwei, beziehungsweise vier Betten. Fliessend Wasser gibt es in den H&#252;tten nat&#252;rlich nicht, aber auf Wunsch bekommt man zumindest heisses Wasser gebracht. Gegessen wird &#252;brigens gemeinsam in einem Zelt. Ab Mai ist wieder Saisonstart.&#8221; &#8212; April 2013</span>

						Creatief met Chalet<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Waar: Bever, Zwitserland. Concept: Een nieuwe tendens bij sneeuwvakanties is logeren in dorpjes waar de tijd lijkt stil te staan. Geen drukke skistations, maar rustige bergdorpen met karakter. Een voorbeeld is Chesa Wazzau, een typisch huis uit de 17de eeuw in Bever, een dorp in de Zwitserse Engadin-regio. Gewelfde plafonds, raampjes die verborgen zitten in metersdikke muren, antiek meubilair. Wanneer je aankomt, staat er notentaart klaar, een delicatesse uit Engadin. Actief: Op 10 kilometer ligt Engadin St. Moritz: daar heb je 350 kilometer pistes en 190 kilometer parcoursen voor crosscountryski. Kom ik terug? Hier kom je echt tot rust, maar je moet je wel een eind verplaatsen naar de pistes. Prijs? Vanaf 2.258 euro voor een week met vier tot twaalf personen.

						20 of the best bargain beach holidays for 2013<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Beat the winter blues by planning your perfect beach holiday. Here are 20 fantastic trip ideas for starters, many of them new and offering great value for money</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Forodhani House, Lamu, Kenya: This large holiday home is so close to the Indian Ocean that when you look out from its terraces you could almost be on the deck of a ship. It sleeps 11 and comes with a team of staff. Its name means lookout post in Swahili and you can see why, with its sprawling panorama and 7&#189;-mile white sand beach. Gather a group of friends and hang out here, swimming in the pool, watching dolphins and dhows or wandering the alleys of Lamu town.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">If you&#8217;re craving a tropical beach but can&#8217;t venture beyond Europe, these thatched beach cabins are a good compromise. An hour&#8217;s drive south of Lisbon, and an easy bike ride from pristine Comporta beach (four bikes are included in the rental rates), this development mixes hi-spec modernist architecture (design by Manuel Aires Mateus, state-of-the-art sound system, high-speed internet and sleek dipping pool) and rustic luxury (the dining and living rooms are open-sided and sand-floored). Dine on fresh seafood from the fishing hamlet of Carrasqueira, explore the 1,200-acre private nature reserve and pine forest, or sit and watch flamingos as the sun sets over nearby salt pans. The owners also offer horseback treks on Comporta beach and the Sado estuary nature reserve.&#8221; &#8212; January 2013</span>

Jahrhundert, umgeben von einem sch&#246;nen Garten. Bei der Restaurierung wurde die Originalit&#228;t bewahrt - die Gew&#246;lbedecken und die tief in die Mauern eingelassenen Fenster. Mit seinen 275 Quadratmetern ist das dreigeschossige Haus sehr ger&#228;umig. Hier sieht man die Gew&#246;lbek&#252;che.&#8221; &#8212; December 2012</span>

						travelista<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;On a different scale, but informed with no less passion, is Monaci delle Terre Nere, a six-room, owner-run boutique hotel on the slopes of Mount Etna, Sicily. Here, contemporary interiors are mixed with accents of Brazilian art within an 18th-century building that&#8217;s still part of a 40-acre organic farm. It&#8217;s a tip-off that came via Chris Laugsch of Welcome Beyond, which focuses on a carefully curated combination of design-led hotels and villa rentals.&#8221; &#8212; October 2012</span>

						Web Buzz: WelcomeBeyond.com showcases unusual accommodations<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;WelcomeBeyond.com highlights off-the-radar lodging. Its options in the U.S. are few, but there&#8217;s plenty overseas. Say no to brand-name hotel chains and resorts. Say yes to handpicked vacation accommodations with a sense of adventure.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Name: WelcomeBeyond.com</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">What it does: Showcases unusual or one-of-a-kind lodgings around the world. To book a stay, you make your first inquiry through the website, then make reservations directly with the property owner or manager.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">What&#8217;s hot: You can find off-the-radar lodgings, such as a yurt in England, a breathtaking beach house in Kenya or an igloo in the Swiss Alps. You can search by using Map View or by selecting from a list of thematic interests, such as skiing and snowboarding or kids and family.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">What&#8217;s not: There are only two lodgings in the U.S., so your vacation will be farther afield. There are properties in Europe as well as in South America, Asia, Australia and Africa.&#8221; &#8212; October 2012</span>

						Vogue Favorieten<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Monaci delle Terre Nere, Sicili&#235;: Zo luxueus kan een agriturismo dus zijn! Dit adellijke landgoed aan de voet van de Etna heeft zes gastenkamers. Gastheer Guido Alessandro is zes jaar bezig geweest om de boel op te knappen. Eind juni van dit jaar was het eindelijk zover en kon hij de eerste gasten verwelkomen. Op de kamers vind je oude fresco&#8217;s naast schilderijen van de Braziliaan Olivier Mourao, antiek naast design van merken als Flos en B&amp;B Italia. Het strand van Taormina is niet ver weg, maar gewoon luieren onder de mandarijnenbomen werkt ook.&#8221; &#8212; September 2012</span></p>

						B&B and beyond: Doors open on to an Italian dream<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;There are an awful lot of medieval barns in Tuscany, but there aren&#8217;t many like this. Il Fienile Boccagnano was bought as a dream home by a British-based couple who work in fashion, and it shows. Everything about it is gorgeous: the setting, in beautifully verdant landscaped gardens on a Tuscan hillside; the old stone of its carefully restored exterior; its 20m pool, which looks more like something you&#8217;d see in the gardens of the Alhambra; and the carefully chosen furniture inside. It&#8217;s the kind of place you might expect to see in the pages of a lifestyle magazine, and it recently was: in Bravacasa, an Italian equivalent of Ideal Home.

						Rural Idyll: Monaci delle terre Nere<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;&#8216;My dream has always been to create a paradise,&#8217; says Guido Coffa. His restored 18th-century casa nobiliare &#8212; found at the foot of Mount Etna in 40 acres of orchards &#8212; is one mighty impressive effort. The six-bedroom retreat is half an hour from Catania, but a million miles from modern life. Working with architect Giuseppe Merendino and girlfriend Ada Calabrese, Coffa has mixed frescoes and antiques with B&amp;B Italia furniture and Flos lighting. Go for the Suite Amible, with Jacuzzi and crater views, or book the whole property and bring 15 friends (...). Beyond leisurely paddles in the swimming pool, you can conquer Mount Etna, explore the baroque town of Noto or hit the bars of Taormina.&#8221; &#8212; September 2012</span></p>

						Find an Amazing Honeymoon Hotel (or One-of-a-Kind Rental) on Welcome Beyond<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Excuse my French, but the hotel you choose for your honeymoon needs to have a certain je ne sais quoi. And, no, I don&#8217;t mean that it&#8217;s gotta cost a zillion bucks a night (because all that&#8217;s going to do is have you hoarding the mini shampoos and stealing boxes of tissues and rolls of toilet paper to ease the hurt on your wallet). Rather, it needs to be artful, design-forward, detail-oriented, and in a mind-blowing location. Essentially you want it to feel as special as your new marriage (corny, but true).</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Enter Welcome Beyond. It&#8217;s a nifty site that features rental homes and boutique hotels around the world, which is something that lots of sites do, sure, but these just have that &#8220;It factor&#8221; and for rates that are downright reasonable. I think I&#8217;m speaking your language now, right?&#8221; &#8212; September 2012</span></p>

						Ein Geheimtipp auf Sizilien<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;&#8216;Slow-living&#8217; ist das Motto der Ferienresidenz <a href="http://www.welcomebeyond.com/property/casa-talia">Casa Tal&#237;a</a>. Das Architektenpaar Marco Giunta und Vivian Haddad kauften 2001 ein erstes Haus in Modica und vergr&#246;sserten ihren Besitz nach und nach.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Auf Sizilien, im Herzen des historischen Zentrums von Modica, befindet sich die Ferienresidenz Casa Tal&#237;a. Sie besteht aus zw&#246;lf unabh&#228;ngigen kleinen H&#228;uschen, die urspr&#252;nglich Einfamilienh&#228;user waren. Sie sind kreisf&#246;rmig um einen mediterranen Garten herum angelegt &#8211; wie es von typischen marokkanischen Riads bekannt ist. Jeder Raum hat einen privaten Zugang zum Garten. Die gr&#246;sseren Zimmer verf&#252;gen &#252;ber zwei Etagen und eine Terrasse mit Aussicht auf die Altstadt Modicas. Die sp&#228;tbarocke Stadt geh&#246;rt &#252;brigens zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Bei der Renovierung wurde viel Wert auf die Auswahl der Materialien gelegt. Sie sollten nat&#252;rlich, &#246;kologisch und vor allem in der sizilianischen Tradition sein: W&#228;nde und Fliesen sind aus Stein, der Verputz aus Kalk, die D&#228;cher aus Schilfrohr, einheimischem Bambus, Kork und Terrakottaziegeln.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Auch die Einrichtung ist eher traditionell mediterran gehalten. Das schliesst allerdings nicht aus, dass moderne Technik nicht auch ihren Platz findet: Jedes Haus ist mit einer modernen, automatischen Haustechnik ausgestattet, die den Energieverbrauch kontrolliert.&#8221; &#8212; July 2012</span>

						Monaci delle Terre Nere<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;I need to get my arse to Italy. It is SO beautiful and kind of embarrassing to be half Italian and not really having ever visited the freaking country (except once when I was 4). We heard about this home turned hotel in Sicily, Monaci delle terre nere, from the folks of Welcome Beyond and it&#8217;s quintessential Italian - rustic and full of history (check out the old wine press!). &#8216;The building is of historic importance and used to be owned by monks. It is set on the slopes of Mt. Etna looking over the Mediterranean. It is part of an 40-acre organic farm where we grow different varieties of fruit. We also have a vineyard and an organic vegetable garden for the guests. The restoration took about three years. We used only local materials and as little chemicals as possible and are about to get an eco-tourist certification. There are six rooms. We eventually plan to have 12 after having restored the three old stone buildings by the vineyard and the wine cellar. But this will take a little while.&#8217; &#8221; &#8212; July 2012</span>

						7 herlige sommervillaer du kan leie<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;I idylliske Puglia, s&#248;r&#248;st i Italia, kan man leie en villa som er over 500 &#229;r gammel. Villa Pizzorusso ligger 25 minutter fra sj&#248;en i et vakkert landskap dekket av ving&#229;rder og oliventr&#230;r. Puglia er den st&#248;rste produsenten av olivenolje i Italia og er den regionen med st&#248;rst produksjon av vindruer. Puglia forel&#248;pig ganske uoppdaget, og har derfor klart &#229; beholde sin autenstiske f&#248;lelse.<br />
De eldste delene av Villa Pizzorusso stammer helt tilbake til 1500-tallet. Villaen hadde st&#229;tt tom i over 50 &#229;r f&#248;r dagens eierne kj&#248;pt stedet og begynte oppussingen for fem &#229;r siden. Vi restaurerte alle gulvene, steinene og reddet det vi kunne av de gamle veggmaleriene. Vi tilf&#248;rte ogs&#229; huset noen moderne elementer uten &#229; &#248;delegge noe av den originale historien til huset. Det var et m&#229;l for oss &#229; bevare husets sjel og historie. Gamle antikviteter som vi har f&#229;tt fra familien, lokale markeder og messer passer perfekt inn, skriver eieren Teresa p&#229; nettsiden til utleiefirmaet Welcome Beyond.&#8221; &#8212; July 2012</span>

<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Monaci delle Terre Nere is a newly opened hotel in a Sicilian farmhouse, situated on a hillside at the foot of Mount Etna, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">The six-bedroom property is in the grounds of its own organic farm. Occupants can expect a luxuriously modern yet rustic feel when they step through its doors. The meticulous updating of the farmhouse has been done with sympathy for the original building, the walls and beams of which are exposed throughout. Polished wooden floors, cool Italian furnishings, standalone baths, and refurbished original fireplaces give the farmhouse a refined rural elegance. But owner Guido Coffa, who spent five years creating the luxurious surroundings, has a quirky side too, adding eccentric artworks and personal antiques.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">&#8216;I was looking for a small house in the area and found this place the very first day,&#8217; he said. &#8216;I fell in love with it and decided to invest every drop of my energy into it.&#8217;</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Guido is on hand to help guests with their holiday plans: visiting restaurants, wine tasting at local vineyards, a trip to the sandy beaches that await nearby, or even a tour of Etna by donkey. But relaxation is the key here, and with a multitude of carefully designed chill-out spots around the grounds, there&#8217;s no shortage of places to unwind. Breakfast provides a selection of goodies from the farm, including home made jams and fresh fruit juices, as well as warm bread rolls, prosciutto, salami, cheese with pistacios and strong coffee. If that doesn&#8217;t wake you up, then a rumble from Etna, day or night, is bound to keep you on your toes.&#8221; &#8212; June 2012</span>

						Hey, How Did You Find That Place?<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;If your tastes are more boutique than mainstream, these sites could help streamline your search for a special place to stay. WelcomeBeyond.com: Founded by two globe-trotting Berlin-based brothers, this site offers lodgings with personality: a six-bedroom, cliffside villa in Phuket, Thailand, goes for 1,338 euros per night (chef included), and a cozy forest hut in Sweden with no electricity costs 44 euros.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">BEST FOR: The adventurous traveler who can appreciate the unusual &#8212; bordering on eccentric &#8212; collection of properties, which include castles, yurts and tree houses. EASE OF USE: The home page gives the choice of trolling by &#8220;location or interest.&#8221; It&#8217;s fun to search by interest, with categories like &#8220;unusual destinations&#8221; or &#8220;food and wine.&#8221; Slide shows, maps and details on amenities and activities are all useful. Properties are booked by contacting the manager of each place via the site &#8212; not great for impatient clients who want the immediate gratification of booking online. GEOGRAPHIC RANGE: Roughly 100 properties in nearly 30 countries, from South Africa to Morocco.&#8221; &#8212; May 2012</span>

						(Best) dichtbij en zonzeker!<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;[Print only] Nog niet geboekt voor de zomervakantie, of juist liever een trip in de herfst? Op deze elf bijzondere bestemmingen is het gegarandeerd genieten van mooi weer, en ze liggen bovendien op maximaal vier uur vliegen. Wel de lusten, niet de jetleg.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">The Beachhouse, Medoc, Frankrijk: Dit is alles wat een strandhuis moet zijn: de inrichting is shabby chic en op de houten veranda slingert een hangmat. Het huis ligt in het deel van de Medoc dat aan zee grenst; niet zo mondain als de C&#244;te d&#8217;Azur, maar ook een stuk minder druk en relatief onontdekt. De zee is per fiets door de bossen bereikbaar en de brede zandstranden zijn lekker rustig - ook in het hoogseizoen. The Beachhouse is een echt familiehuis, dus ideaal met kinderen. Het huis is in delen te huren (2-6 personen), maar helemaal (15-16 personen) kan natuurlijk ook. <a href="http://blog.welcomebeyond.com/?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.welcomebeyond.com%26%238221%3B">http://www.welcomebeyond.com&#8221;</a>.</span>

						Le Marche Villa in Treia, Le Marche, Italy<p><span class="small black italic">&#8220;Welcome Beyond is our &#8216;hand-picked paradise&#8217; for travelling; a travel site with a perspective in jet-set travelling offering one-of-a-kind destinations. Welcome Beyond shares the philosophy that where you stay is as vital to the experience as what you see and do &#8211; and we couldn&#8217;t agree with them more. This time, Yatzer&#8217;s hand-picked selection is a restored 300 years old farm house located in Treia, a town in the province of Macerata in the central Marche, Italy.</span></p>

<p><span class="small black italic">Le Marche Villa is conveniently located 12 kilometers from Treia, and was restored in 2006 by the Caviano-based studio Wespi de Meuron Architekten. Located amidst hills of olive groves, fruit plantations and sunflower fields, the Le Marche Villa offers panoramic landscape views all the way to the Adriatic coastline. Offering a unique experience which will cleanse your body and soul, this holiday house seems like the ideal retreat for anyone who wants to enjoy nature and take time off from their busy city life. Of course there&#8217;s plenty to do, as surrounding villages have a lot to offer cultural-wise &#8211; from museums and old churches to theaters and the long tradition and history of the Italian countryside. But if you want to enjoy this luxury villa and make the most of what it has to offer, you can treat yourself to some de rigueur sunbathing, swimming in the pool or indulge yourself in succulent Italian flavors by participating in cooking classes provided at the property by a local chef. Moreover, you can enjoy olive oil tasting from regional olive trees, as well as wine tasting as two sommeliers are available to organize an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.&#8221; &#8212; March 2012 <a href="http://www.yatzer.com/Le-Marche-Villa-in-Treia-Italy" target="_blank" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Yatzer', 'click', 'press.welcomebeyond.com']);">(read more)</a></span>
