Authentic Villa Holidays is an independent villa agency, run from London since 2002. It began as Croatian Villas, one company letting villas on one coast. Today the villas stretch across eleven countries, in a range of styles and price levels, with the same people to help you choose between them.

Croatian Villas opens in London, under director Tara Hawkins: one coast, learned villa by villa.
