Their locations and hotels are always special and usually also good value for money. They are one of my first ports of call when I plan a trip abroad.

Nice curated selection of properties which are generally good value for the quality of the accommodation. Descriptions are accurate. Efficient booking process and you do actually get a response from a person rather than a bot if you have any queries or issues, which is unfortunately becoming rarer.

Manoir du Guern is a beautiful place

Manoir du Guern is a beautiful place. We loved our room which was spacious, comfortable and tastefully furnished with antiques.
The owners are helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were copious, with homemade cakes, fresh bread, high quality jams, juices and coffee.
The only downside is that they do not provide evening meals and it is quite a drive to a decent restaurant along dark country roads. We are at the age when we don’t enjoy driving to unfamiliar places at night.

I don't want to get this wrong....

I-Escape is such a reliable source of great holidays.
I have used them for a number of years when wanting the reassurance of having a like minded person select possible holiday venues for me to choose from.
I particularly like the fact they flag up both the good aspects of a property as well as the bad. They scrutinise their selections very carefully and I suspect decline many of the properties submitted for inclusion.
I have never been disappointed.

I always trust i-escape's judgement.

We have booked 5-6 places over the years through i-escape and they have never let us down. With a smaller selection of places for each location, it's easier to streamline what you are after and I trust their judgement. We have just stayed in Madeira and both hotels were exactly what we wanted.

A really friendly and well appointed Riad in the heart of a traditional medina neighbourhood.

A really well appointed, friendly Riad in the heart of the Medina in one of the more traditional neighbourhoods. The decor is tasteful and the staff friendly and very attentive, with multiple languages. The breakfast and traditional Moroccan food (I recommend the cooking class which includes a tour in the local area) are excellent. Like most riads, the bedrooms are tight - not much hanging space and no room for a case, so travel light! Also, the beds and pillows are very firm so if you need it soft, take a topper.

Palmizana Meneghella



We suddenly had 5 days in the second week in September. Within hours i-Escape had fixed us up with Palmizana-Meneghella on an island off an island off Split in Croatia. It was great service, warm welcome, wild walking and superb swimming – five days of delight.

3 boutique hotels tried, 3 absolute winners!

So far we've stayed in 3 iEscape-recommended boutique hotels (Italy, Morocco & India) and all three have been fantastic. The reviews gave accurate descriptions of these unique hotels we experienced. All 3 were so much better and cheaper than the bland chain hotels in the same areas.

We also used iEscape to book the Indian hotel which solved the problems we were having booking directly.

We enjoyed our stay at Albero Copovolto in Sardinia very much indeed. I would give them maximum points in service (5), Food (5), Overall value (5) and Room (5). The garden and pool are sublime, Alessandro and his staff are all brilliant and we even loved the other guests. Alan and Wilma.
