Cottages to Castles adds long-haul destination

Monday, 17 July 20063 min read

Independent villa specialist, Cottages to Castles, has added South Africa to its new brochure out August 1.

It will be the company’s first destination outside Europe and joins its existing Italy and Croatia products.

Over 30 villas, beach houses, city apartments and game lodges will be included in this new 2006/2007 programme, mainly in the Western Cape, but also the Eastern Cape, Limpopo/Northern Province and North West Province.

Gerry Smith, Sales Manager at Cottages to Castles, said: “After 23 successful years as specialists to Italy, we realised that travel trends are changing and people demand more choice.

“I’ve been sounding out agents for the last few months, asking what they thought of this new idea and, without exception, they were very enthusiastic. With commission maintained at 15% for South Africa, like Italy, I’m primarily looking at agents to drive our success in this new venture.”
