They say: "At James Villas we handpick all our accommodation and all have swimming pools. It might be a rustic farmhouse in the Spanish hillside or a beachfront villa in Crete, but they all share two things. They all have that ‘wow factor’ and they all have pools, so you know you’ll be setting off for a relaxing holiday with accommodation offering everything you need."

They Say: "CV Travel’s portfolio of elegant villas and peaceful riads in Morocco has grown over recent years to include hotels in other North African countries and in Arabia. From renowned, ultra modern five star hotels to unique eco-lodges and from the contemporary chic to intriguing desert retreats, our collection of hotels is not only situated in some of the most enthralling historical lands, but also cater for every type of holiday requirement."

They say: "A villa holiday can offer privacy and seclusion or put you close to the action – you decide. Our 2010 brochure features over 2500 handpicked properties in 50 different destinations. Whether you’re looking for a rural retreat, a beachside property in the heart of the action or something in between, we’ve got the prefect property and usually with its own pool."

They say: "Most James Villas’ 51 leisure resorts are located on the coast, making them an ideal base for exploring the local region with beaches, restaurants and water parks topping the list of ‘must dos’. All the resorts featured are modern and well-equipped to a high standard, so all you need to worry about is what clothes to pack for the sunshine."
