They say: "This Simply Travel collection for 2013 is the biggest yet, offering characterful, one-off properties squirrelled away on the path less travelled. There are all sorts of properties, from whitewashed Spanish fincas in off-the-map hamlets, to old stone villas in Italian vineyards. New for summer 2013 are larger properties including hotels in the best addresses of lesser known resorts, giving you the best of both worlds as they are well-placed, yet in towns and villages that aren't overrun with tourists."
