We look forward to welcoming our guests for the second year and offering a summer holiday to remember, “says Joanna Laforge, Commercial Director of Purple Summer and Purple Ski.  Accommodation Accommodation is in some of the most desirable settings such as sultry St Tropez and the ‘moyen pays’region, which sits in France between the snow-capped peaks of the Alps and the glittering Mediterranean Sea; Pollenca in North Mallorca, and the stunning coastline of Ibiza. Guests can choose to stay near magnificent beaches, breath-taking landscapes, cobbled market towns or rocky mountains as well as indulging in the glitz and glamour for which these destinations are renowned. Each villa within the bespoke 7 property portfolio – sleeping from 8 up to 12 people – has been carefully hand-picked and offers first-class facilities and a distinctive personality. Guests will have the option to book flexible or full service with a minimum of one meal per day – lunch or dinner – prepared by a private chef. All villas will also have access to delicious breakfasts, daily housekeeping and one staff member to every two guests, as well as a dedicated concierge service to cater to guests’ every wish – from organising private airport transfers to professional childcare, restaurant reservations and the unique experiences which make a holiday extra special.
