Discover the best holiday rentals: self-catering villas, charming holiday homes and unique apartments Catalonia
The beauty of staying in a holiday home lies in the rhythm you set for yourself. Whether it's a minimalist beach house, a secluded stone cottage or a design-led villa with sweeping views, these spaces offer the freedom to live like a local, but with more style, privacy and intention, be it for couples, families or groups of friends. At Secretplaces, we seek out holiday homes and villas that stand out for their architecture, ambience and setting — places where the materials matter, the light is right, and the atmosphere invites calm. From refined apartments in historic cities to countryside retreats framed by olive groves, our handpicked selection goes beyond the functional. These are spaces with soul. Whether you're preparing a slow breakfast in a sunlit kitchen, enjoying the quiet of a mountain chalet, or watching the sea change colour from a villa with a pool, the essence is always the same: considered design and the luxury of simplicity. Each place in our collection has been handpicked for its style, soul, and sense of place.
