                                                                              ’Tis the Season to travel

Festive travel is on the rise, and not just among our guests. This year, holiday stays are up 14%, while 58% of our homeowners are packing their bags and opening their doors to travellers for the season. Looking for inspiration? Londoners are trading the city’s sparkle for the calm of the countryside, Lake Como, or the South African sun. Across the Atlantic, one Los Angeles host is chasing a white Christmas in Switzerland - and recommends her guests visit the Griffith Park Christmas lights while she’s away.

Paris

France’s cherished capital sparkles during the winter season with a wealth of winter markets, twinkling lights, festive decorations, ice skating, and holiday concerts. From cosy strolls along the Seine and watching the Paris Opera Ballet perform the Nutcracker to admiring the Christmas window displays at the luxury flagship stores sprinkled along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, there’s a treat waiting for every member of the group.

Want to get deeper under the skin of the city? Our concierge team can arrange a cooking session with a private chef in the comfort of your luxury Parisian hideaway. Whip up an array of delicious seasonal delights, such as a Bûche de Noël, or learn how to master some of the classic local treats, like delicate macarons and buttery brioches. Prefer to leave the cooking to someone else? From a personalised private chef menu to special Champagne deliveries, we can organise every element of your festive feast, leaving you free to savour each and every moment.

"Excellent stay in a lovely house. As a family we find onefinestay homes give us a nicer vacation and more time together than hotel stays. This particular home had the entertainment we needed to enjoy time indoors on colder days. The onefinestay team from booking to service while we were in the property and check out was brilliant."
