Your native country is most likely lovely, but if you have a little adventure in the blood, it's nice to spread your wings and see something new - every once in a while.
A trip to another country is not just a physical journey, it is also largely an inner journey. Not only will you experience new places, smells and people, you will also experience yourself in a new way, because everything is new and you will meet new challenges.
For example, you can't expect to manage in English in all places, you will have to deal with the daily chores in a foreign language or perhaps resort to "charade your way" if you do not master the language. . . which can be quite entertaining.

ARRANGE A COURSE IN EUROPA
What would it be like to do a French course in France? A workshop in Tuscany? Or an astrology course on a Greek island? The possibilities are endless and it is up to you to get the ideas, as you browse through the options.
Keep your course topic and clientele in mind as you browse the houses in France, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Czech Republic and Germany.
Pay attention to whether the beds in a double room are single beds or double beds. A shared double room is okay for most students, but a shared double bed is not okay for everyone. In other words: customize your choice of house and sleeping accommodations with the student group you have in mind. (And make sure you get a bedroom for yourself. It's YOU who run the show, so you need to be able to retire to privacy).
As a help to your planning for and pricing of your course or workshop, you can see the cost per person for the cheapest house and the most expensive house at each destination.
Of course, you have to do the calculation for your special house yourself, that is - when you find it.

PLAN A FAMILY VACATION IN EUROPE
Wouldn't it be cool to gather the family in a big, beautiful house for a family party, a round birthday, a wedding party or just three generations on holiday together in new surroundings?
Have your special event or holiday in mind as you look through the houses. Is there a playground or gameroom for the children? Is there a private pool or walking distance to the beach? How many bedrooms are there? How far is it to the nearest village or town? Are there interesting places to visit for the whole family .... etc.

Currency: Euro
Population: 66.42 million High season in France is July and August as well as Christmas, New Year and Easter, where you can expect long queues at most major attractions.
April, June and September offer lower prices, flowers and lots of fresh vegetables. In September, the wine harvest is a good reason to visit France. The off-season, from October to March brings lower prices everywhere, but many attractions and eateries located in the countryside may be closed or open only a few days a week. What makes France stand out from the crowd? Art, fashion, gourmet food, wine, perfume and sensuality! Now that I think about it, it's all the good things in life that speak to our senses. No wonder we are some with a passion for France! |
BIG EVENT HOUSES | HOLIDAY HOMES IN GREECE
Currency: Euro
Population: 10.86 million Greece is often referred to as the cradle of civilization because a large number of famous scientists and philosophers were born here. Today, Greece is a modern democracy that, like most European countries, is a member of the EU and NATO.
The country has had 8 tough economic years, which finally ended in the spring of 2018, so Greece is now back on track. The Greek archipelago consists of more than 2,500 islands surrounded by blue sky and sea and filled with whitewashed houses and atmosphere. Who doesn't love tzatziki, feta cheese or ouzo, the anise-based brandy that is Greece's national drink? |

BIG EVENT HOUSES | HOLIDAY HOMES IN ITALY
Currency: Euro
Population: 60.8 million If you are in need of inspiration, fabulous food and some sunshine - indulge yourself (and your students or family members) by planning a course or a family vacation in Italy.
Meet the spring in Italy next year or plan a summer course in Tuscany or in the islands of Sicily or Sardinia ... The choice is difficult because there are so many incredibly beautiful and interesting places to choose from. Italy offers fashion, design, architecture, art, culture and history, so you have to google what attractions and sights, you can find,where your event house or holiday home is located. You will return home charged with new inputs - and probably an urge to return for more of "the good life"! |
BIG EVENT HOUSES | HOLIDAY HOMES IN CROATIA
Currency: HRK (Kuna)
Population: 4.23 million The Adriatic coast offers a lovely Mediterranean climate characterized by hot and dry summers and reasonably warm temperatures in winter (about 10 °). The coast of Croatia also lures with velvety, warm nights in summer and a crystal clear sea to cool off in - during the day.
Dubrovnik, one of the oldest cities in Croatia, oozes medieval charm and romance. This is the perfect choice if you want to combine city life with a beach holiday. Croatia is very affordable; half a liter of draft beer costs approx. 2 EUR and a dinner for two at a middle class restaurant approx. 26 EUR. How much would it cost where you live? |
BIG EVENT HOUSES | HOLIDAY HOMES IN POLAND
Currency: PLN (Zloty)
Population: 38.01 million The price level of groceries in Poland is touchingly cheap, eg can you get half a liter of draft beer at a restaurant for just 1-2 EUR.
And it is not just the price level that has made people open their eyes to Poland as a holiday destination. Poland offers both historic cities such as Krakow and Warzaw with plenty of culture, an east coast with the opportunity for a beach holiday, water sports and fishing and finally the ski resort Zakopane, at the foot of the Tatra Mountains in southern Poland. Poland is a great place to rent a big house for family holidays, events or courses. Traveling to Poland is easy by car, boat or airplane and you get great value for your money. |
BIG EVENT HOUSES | HOLIDAY HOMES IN SPAIN
Currency: Euro
Population: 46.45 million A visit to Spain can be beach life, life in the countryside or holidays close to Barcelona with all the cultural and wildly exciting offers that the big city has to offer.
One thing worth remembering is that Spain is much, much more than sun, sand and cheap booze! Here you can still be stopped in traffic by a flock of goats crossing the road with their shepherd, or you can meet wild boar up in the mountains. And if you rent a property out in the countryside or in the mountains, don't be surprised if a plastic bag filled with lemons or avocados all of a sudden is hanging on the garden gate; it is just a friendly gesture from a neighbor or farmer who has picked more than necessary. Spain is perfect for both course and family vacation! I know, I've been living here since 2001! |

The Czech Republic is located approx. in the middle of Europe with borders to Poland, Germany, Austria and Slovakia. The Czech Republic has a temperate climate with mild, humid summers and cold snowy winters.
