The wait is over: “Mad Dogs is back with an explosive second series” and you can book the villa!

Starring Max Beesley, Philip Glenister, John Simm and Marc Warren, the hit TV show, Mad Dogs is coming soon to Sky1 HD.

In series one, the all-star cast was filmed at the beautiful Cala San Vicente in Mallorca.

This luxury Villa sleeps up to 14 and is furnished with high quality fixtures, fittings and antiques throughout. There is a comfy seating area under the terrace, a large swimming pool – fans of the show will know the one we mean;) The villa also has large lawned gardens and a feature BBQ area.

If you fancy getting out and about the villa is only a two-minute drive from the beaches, shops, bars and restaurants.

If yes, you may be interested to know that if you book a two-week Villa Parade holiday you get the second week half price! Yep, that’s right – half price!

You can book any of our resorts, the only challenge however is we have 500 villas, farmhouses and beachfront apartments to pick from, but don’t worry, you can always challenge our booking team to find you a property to accommodate your needs. Email them at: challenge@villaparade.co.uk 

Properties like Casa Llenaire – Puerto Pollensa. The property offers 5-star luxury throughout; it sleeps eight and comes with a pool and a hot tub. The property is also only a short walk to the beach in case you get fed up swimming in the pool ;) 

The name ‘Majorca’ (Mallorca) derives from the Latin: ‘insula maior’ meaning ‘larger island’

People have lived on the island since about 5000 BC

The island has been welcoming holiday makers since 1952

Almost half of the population of Majorca live in Palma

The local pastry, the Ensaimadas is only available in Majorca.

Villa Parade has over 150 villas, farmhouses and beachfront apartments on the Island, which you can pick using your own criteria, such as:

42 with sea views

58 with Wi-Fi

113 are child friendly

131 with lawned gardens

WOW! Didn’t Christmas and New Year go really fast? Only seems like yesterday we were putting up the office Christmas tree and panicking about if we had all the Christmas shopping done!

Oh well, like someone once said: ‘Always look on the bright side.’ So with this simple, but brilliant piece of wisdom, we will. So here goes: Now that Christmas and the New Year celebrations have passed it won’t be long until summer is here, and you know what that means don’t you? Yep, it’s holiday time ;)

This year is going to be even better because we are proud to boast that we now have over 500 villas, farmhouses and beachfront apartments for you to pick from – all spread across the Mediterranean, including new holiday properties in Italy (TuscanyAmalfi Coast and Umbria)

But let’s not forget about our other destinations:

Visitors can also register to receive our free newsletter, which is packed with lots of travel and holiday information – even the wonderful Holly Bell ‘@HollyBellMummy’ has been kind enough to supply three fantastic recipes for the next three issues – her Christmas cheesecake is published in our January 2012 edition.

Visitors to villaparade.co.uk can also benefit from a number of offers, including our ‘Early Booking savings’, our ‘Last Minute Offers’ and our ‘ Party of Four Special Offers’ – there are also daily deals and offers posted on our Facebook account ‘Like’ page, which we launched towards the end of 2011.
