Looking for something other than turkey this Christmas? Get inspired right here!
Roast Shoulder of Saffron Lamb
If you are fed up with eating – or particularly cooking – turkey and all the trimmings on Christmas Day and then feeling obliged to eat turkey sandwiches, turkey curry and turkey soup until you are left with a meatless carcass well into the New Year, you may want to deviate from your accustomed Christmas and New Year cuisine this year and experiment with another nation’s culinary festive delights.
The summer might be slowly winding up, but in many European destinations, the less ‘rasping’ heat of high summer, the less crowded bars and beaches and the lower priced flights, makes September the perfect month to jet off to sunnier climes.

EXAMPLE - Casa Almendro, Roche Viejo (sleeps 2) - Andalucía. Was £695 - NOW £595 / week

EXAMPLE – Lagasse, Gavaudun (sleeps 10) – South West France. Was £1095 – NOW £995 / week
We’ve recently asked some of our French holiday villa owners to lay on a little welcome pack for arriving guests and very happy to report that they are coming on board with the idea.
This means that whatever time of day or night you arrive at the villa that you always have the essentials to start enjoying your holiday without the desperate need to go shopping immediately. The initial feedback to date has been fantastic and is now something we are trying to encourage across all properties.
The original French market basket full of local essentials including a delicious bottle of red wine!
