Villaway’s search system is designed to make it easier for you to find a holiday property that is exactly what you are looking for. Choose from either a Quick Search – to see a wider range of properties – or Advanced Search – to find only those properties that match your specific criteria.

QUICK SEARCH

Simply select your dates and country destination, then choose from our most commonly requested features. We'll show you all properties that match your search.

If you find there are too many properties to choose from simply click on REFINE SEARCH and we'll take you to our Advanced Search screen, where you can select more features from our search categories.

ADVANCED SEARCH

With Advanced Search you can choose from any of our search categories to find properties that are a perfect match. You can set your own order of priority for the categories by clicking the up or down arrows under the PRIORITY heading.

1. Destination
Choose your destination using our interactive mapping system. You can select just one destination – or use our Multi-Select facility to choose several destinations.

2. Dates
If you know exactly when you want to go on holiday, enter those dates and we’ll show you only those properties that are available then. If you can be more flexible, our unique TIMEFRAME search allows you to choose a month and the number of days holiday you want. We’ll find any properties that are available during that month.

3. Themes
We’ve sorted all of our properties into themes to make it easier when you have a particular type of holiday in mind – whether it’s a romantic break for two or a skiing holiday for the whole family.

4. Locality
If you want a property that’s close to a beach, or in the mountains, you can specify what you want in your surroundings – both close by and further afield.

5. Features
With our wide range of features, you can be as specific as you want about the property you’re looking for. If it has to sleep 7 and have a washing machine, for example, you can quickly select those features.

6. Activities
Our Activity category helps you to find properties near to the activities you enjoy – whether they are indoor, outdoor, cultural or sporting.

YOUR RESULTS

If you find that your selections have limited your choices too much, our "IMPROVE" facility shows you how changing one of your selections can give you many more properties to choose from.

SPECIAL SEARCHES

1. Themed Holidays
We’ve made it quick and easy for you to start looking for a property by setting up Themed Holidays searches for you. Simply choose your theme, choose your location and we’ll do the rest. To add more features to your search simply click the REFINE SEARCH button at the top of your results screen.

2. Activity Holidays
We’ve also grouped our holidays into popular activities. If you want a skiing holiday, for example, select Skiing and your destination and you’ll see all our properties near skifields. Again, to add more features to your search, simply click the REFINE SEARCH button.
