Although SHA specialises in France, the rest of Europe is a well-travelled area. As a result, my Little Black Book is bursting with owners’ contacts and details of the most gorgeous properties. Take your pick from, for example, a one bedroom romantic home on Corfu to an atmospheric Spanish hacienda and beautifully styled and serviced houses in Morocco.
For more intrepid travellers, we have properties ranging from a beach house in Goa to gold-plate glitz and laid-back chic in Barbados, Bali and Thailand and the slightly edgy but wonderfully exuberant houses of Brazil. A love of skiing has meant Sarah can help you with a chalet search too.
The following is just a selection of some of the properties that we know well.
Villa Gouvia is beautifully furnished and laid out to make the most of the mature gardens and lovely views over the bay below. Located within easy access of the old Venetian capital of Corfu Town and the buzzing Gouvia Marina, it is everything that Corfiot living is about.
