Go to Europe

Special Places to Stay Europe with Courses and Activities

From the Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay series.

We've chosen over 250 special places to stay in Europe that offer courses and activities, either on the spot or nearby. All of them are close to interesting and beautiful places to visit and all have owners who are passionate about their area and eager for you to discover its treasures. The owners of these places will be your friends, your agents, your advisers - the key to the success of your holiday.

We look for comfort, originality, authenticity: posadas, castles, manses, cottages, haciendas, even slick city hideaways; food that is grown with respect and served with pride that will surprise and delight you; and owners who are willing to go the extra mile.

There are courses from mainstream cookery, wine-tasting, horse-riding and painting to the less predictable submarinisimo and balneotherapy; our owners have come up with a tantalizing range of sporty, spiritual and creative things to do.

The following is a sampling of the kinds of courses that readers will be able to take:

  • Organic vegetable growing in Somerset, United Kingdom
  • Hot-air ballooning in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
  • Falconery in Devon, United Kingdom
  • Astrology in Malaga, Spain
  • Cookery in Alicante, Spain
  • Flamenco dancing in Seville, Spain
  • Ink-painting in County Kerry, Ireland
  • Oyster-farm tour in County Louth, Ireland
  • Reflexology in County Cork, Ireland
  • Truffle-tasting in Vaucluse, France
  • Jam-making in Rhone, France
  • Water-color painting in Var, France
And of course, all properties included have gone under our special Sawday inspection so visitors can expect a very warm welcome!
