For a Wales holiday with an Italian twist, try a cottage by Portmeirion. This unique village in North Wales promises an experience with a difference.
Why Portmeirion Holiday Cottages?
On the southern fringes of Snowdonia, this pastel-painted Italianate village nestles on a private peninsula overlooking the Traeth Bach Estuary. Created by Welsh architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, a series of buildings were rescued from across Britain and Europe then painstakingly re-assembled to form this extraordinary settlement. The 70 acres of sub-tropical woodland gardens are a delight, with miles of way-marked trails to explore. And thanks to a naturally mild climate, there are numerous exotic species of plants and trees to admire along the way. Use our North Wales Travel Guide for all the inspiration you need for your visit.
