Rural retreat hotels

If your idea of the perfect "weekend break" is something as far away from city life as you can get, then our Rural Retreats programme could be for you! We have chosen our favourite off-beat hotels - including former coaching inns, converted olive mills and restored monasteries - and put together a selection of 2 and 3-night breaks, perfect for people just wanting a break from busy day-to-day living. Everywhere we've selected is unique, but all offer beautiful surroundings, high comfort levels and superb regional cuisine.
