The reality: After a panicky day at work I return home to a pile of dirty washing, the fake tan I apply embeds itself neon orange onto my knees and my eldest son Arthur is burning up with suspected Swine Flu. A night of hunt the Tamiflu ensues and our trip to Corsica seems unlikely. But behold! By 7am Arthur’s temperature is normal and, hooray, we can go. However, the stress, lack of sleep and the fact Jonah, my youngest, decides to be sick in the car after we land brings a feeling of doom as well as an unpleasant fragrance for the next three hours. Maybe we should have holidayed...http://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:42649&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:42649&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/client_images/Press_Villa_Images/Supranu_0180rt.jpghttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:42649&tid=rss7046Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:38:07 GMT Set on a slope of olive groves, high above the Mediterranean, Villa Supranu takes full advantage of its location, with views of the San Ciprianu Bay, the beach resort of Cala Rossa and the green headlands beyond. The villa is now on the portfolio of the upmarket rental company Coastline, so this soothing escape is now on offer to British visitors to Corsica. Villa Supranu's interior offers simple style and neutral tones – a modern twist on a traditional Corsican property – to create a comfortable retreat. With an exterior characterised by traditional wood and stone, the outside features include an expansive terrace for al fresco dining, a deck with sun loungers and a beautiful free-form swimming pool, surrounded by Mediterranean gardens. And Coastline specialise in offering extras such as breakfast deliveries, and private chefs and nannies. Guests have nothing more to worry about than lying back to enjoy those...http://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:41501&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:41501&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/client_images/Press_Villa_Images/07_high_res_coastline_039rt.jpghttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:41501&tid=rss7046Thu, 07 May 2009 11:15:15 GMT Anyone for the snout? Was not a question I expected to hear when I booked a villa holiday in Majorca. And yet there we were, sat around the table on our sun-streaked terrace, in front of a freshly roasted whole suckling pig. “Come on, it’s the best bit” said the chef offering the crispy morsel to my girlfriend. In fact, it was not half bad, especially when served with views across a swathe of golden cornfields and out towards a deep blue sea. We had a fridge stacked with ice-cold local rose wine, a chef to cater to our every culinary whim – and no more than 30 paces to walk to bed when the midnight oil ran dry. After a day around our own pool we were in heaven. I’d never been one for villa breaks. I always thought I’d feel like I’d broken into someone else’s house and...http://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:42195&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:42195&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/client_images/ivaddi_07_05rrt.jpghttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:42195&tid=rss7046Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:13:42 GMT Q: Its officially the summer holidays and – guess what – for the first time ever we don’t have anything planned! We had wanted to wait to see how thing were financially in July. The good news is that things area still relatively good so we have decided to book a last-minute holiday. We want to find a decent villa in Europe, with a private pool close to the beach at a good price. What is our best option? Glenys, by email A: You’re in luck…. I have just received details from Coastline (0844 557 1020 www.coastline.co.uk/offers), a leading villa company with beautiful properties in Corsica, Ibiza and Majorca. It not only has availability left for the school holidays but has also reduced prices, so your plan to wait to book at the last minute may pay dividends. Coastline offers discount of up to £400 per person on select villas...http://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:41276&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:41276&tid=rsshttp://www.coastline.co.uk/client_images/villas/Dona_Lisa_0038rt.jpghttp://www.coastline.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=1&news=0:41276&tid=rss7046Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:31:19 GMT Do baby-friendly foreign holidays really exist? Melanie Kendall, mum of two-month-old Noah, wants to know – because she's hoping to take her cherub on his first holiday abroad. Melanie, you may have noticed that the trouble with babies is they require an awful lot of clobber: think nappies, buggies, bottles and kitchen sinks. Holidaying with a newborn is about as pain-free as moving house. Coastline (0844 557 1020; coastline.co.uk), too, offers all the gear you never knew you needed, from stair gates to potties and bumper boxes of toys, as well as lots of luxury for parents: check out the lovely villa Dona Lisa, near Porto-Vecchio in Corsica, brand new for this season. Best of all, these properties come with the option of a full-time nanny. Now, you can't get baby-friendlier than that.

If you can tear yourself away, check out the beaches of Santa Guilia and Palombaggia, and the bars, shops and restaurants of Porto Vecchio, all just a few kilometres away.

That's what we told ourselves at any rate. And indeed the towering, volcano-shaped beauty, as viewed from the private deck, appeared to have been plonked down on the landscape exclusively for our gratification. Attention to this kind of detail typifies the Coastline experience. Other sensational services we happily took advantage of included the private chef - a quiet lad called Tom from Grimsby - who cooked like he was raised on the baking Mediterranean coast. Wonderful fresh fish, platters heaving with delicious seafood, local meat and lip smacking Corsican wines, were just some of the treats of the feast he knocked up for us one evening. But Tom will and can cook you anything you desire, and cook it beautifully, and he's a dab hand at charming chatty ten year old boys too. The service from the rest of the team was attentive and...
