Sperlonga

Italy

The Bond has contracted properties at the Residence/Hotel Costa Kair Ed Din, situated on a hillside approximately 800m from the centre of Sperlonga, a beautiful, small seaside town perched on the ridge of Monte San Magno, approximately 130kms south of Rome. For the past 10 years, Sperlonga has been awarded the Blue Flag of Europe, a distinction for the excellence of its sand and sea. The numerous attractions include freshwater lakes, national parks, archaeological sites, and a Cistercian Abbey.

Kerasia

Corfu

A relatively small island - with Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, French and English historical connections - Corfu is one of the greenest islands of the Mediterranean, due largley to the abundance of evergreen olive trees, woodland and winter rains. Although much of the island is made up of lively resorts, there remain many unspoiled areas to enjoy. Such an area is the exclusive north-east of the island - location of the Bond's Tenancy properties - which is particularly beautiful and untouched by mass tourism.

Chalet La Luciole

France

An area of breathtaking beauty, with snow-capped peaks of over 2,000 metres, the Haute Savoie is the location of Chalet La Luciole. Chamonix, with its magnificent backdrop of Mont blanc and Lake Annecy, is one of the world's great outdoor playgrounds; a magnet for ski enthusiasts, with its wealth of excellent resorts. In summer, the area attracts walkers and discerning sight-seers wishing to discover the delightful lakeside towns and dramatic scenery of jagged cliffs, verdant green pastures and steep, forested slopes and glaciers.

Panorama Villas

Greek Islands

The Bond's Cretan villas are spread across the island's north coast, where the main conurbations are located. In particular, the Tenancies in Agios Nikolaos, Ammoundara and Mochlos are situated in quiet coastal locations. Similarly, the properties in Panormos and Daratsos are ideal for holidaymakers wishing to explore the cities of Rethymnon and Chania, as well as the White Mountains. As Crete is such a large island, with much to see and do, many Bondholders choose to spread their holidays across two locations.

Burgo D Alfonso V

Portugal

The Costa de Prata, or 'Silver Coast', stretching from Lisbon northwards to the Costa Verde, is peaceful and unspoilt with long stretches of sandy beaches, shady pine and eucalyptus forests and picturesque salt water lagoons. The Bond's Tenancy properties on the 600-acre Praia D'El Rey Golf and Country Club resort on the Atlantic Coast are the perfect base from which to explore the region's historic towns and palaces, charming old quintas, ancient monasteries and old fishing villages.

Combermere Abbey

United Kingdom

Combermere Abbey, a complex of 16th Century buildings, lies on the Cheshire/Shropshire border, only seven miles from North Wales. Partially surrounded by the largest privately-owned lake in the country, it is set in the midst of glorious park and woodland, with immaculately maintained gardens. A five-acre walled garden behind the cottages contains a unique fruit tree maze, croquet lawn and all weather tennis court. On the estate, holidaymakers may walk, cycle, fish, play tennis and croquet or simply soak up the unrivalled tranquillity.

New England

U.S.A.

Tucked into the north eastern corner of the United States, New England comprises six states packed with historic sites and some of the most spectacular scenery and prettiest communities in the whole country. It encapulates rural America: white wooden churces and clapboard houses nestling among the trees, grey-timbered barns set amid lush pastures and delicious wholesome foods such as blueberries and cranberries, maple syrup and succulent shellfish. The Bond has chosen accommodation in Boston, Stowe and Boothbay Harbor.

Gozo

Malta

Sister island to Malta, Gozo's leisurely pace of life is reminiscent of times gone-by. The capital, Victoria, with its ancient citadel, spans the ancient and modern. And even the smallest of Gozitan villages has a square dominated by an, often most spectacular, church. Though the coastline is rugged, there are a couple of sandy beaches (the best of which is Ramla). Gozo has a very special rustic charm and will appeal to those seeking a quiet independent sort of holiday in what is essentially a laid-back, rural environment.

Black Forest

Germany

The Black Forest is a relatively undiscovered gem. Tucked away in the south west corner of Germany, its beautiful, heavily forested hills & mountains interspersed with green meadowlands are a paradise for nature lovers. Charming 'alpine-style' villages with their wooden chalets laden with geraniums from their window boxes are a joy to visit. All this and a warm welcome from the charming and courteous locals make the Black Forest a very special holiday venue.
