Sanctuary Retreats (formerly Sanctuary Villas & Apartments) has the perfect gift for mother’s day and father’s day, a trip to a luxury villa. Think of how much they have done for you and let this be the perfect way to express your gratitude. I bet mom and dad supported you on a European adventure during your college years so you could “find yourself”. Well now that you are found bring the whole multi generational family or send mom and dad off on their own. Either way the experience will be one to remember for all involved whether you give the trip as a gift or get to tag along.

Sanctuary Retreats can create an exciting itinerary showcasing the best and most unforgettable attractions in regions like Spain, Italy, Croatia or France. Showcasing some of the most exceptional private homes in Europe, Sanctuary Retreats will provide as much support as guests request be it daily maid service, chef on site, guides of the areas or alternatively our team can work quietly from the sidelines and let you do as you please. The comfort of knowing there is always an office with an experienced team on the ground is just one of the Sanctuary bonuses.

Combine the holiday and send mom and dad off together to the vacation of a lifetime replete with add- ons such as golf, spa services or perhaps a tour of one of the area attractions like a vineyard or market. If mom and dad don’t mind, bring the family for a truly memorable gathering with children and grandchildren. Many of the homes offered come well equipped to handle large groups and plenty have pools and gardens. Start a family tradition and make it an annual getaway by gathering everyone in one phenomenal villa to relax and enjoy the surroundings without a care in the world thanks to Sanctuary Retreats.
