Longing for normality, being relaxed, vacation: The Germans create themselves to the beginning of the year anticipation and are planning vacation for the year 2022. Vacation home specialist Belvilla, to which also TUI Ferienhaus belongs, has recorded 34 percent more vacation bookings to date for 2022 than in the same period last year for 2021.

Not less than 265 Belgian holiday homes received a prestigious Belvilla award last week. The international full service online holiday home operator rewarded a total of 1,510 homes throughout Europe for their outstanding quality, service and hospitality. Remarkable: no other country scored better than Belgium. 

Every person is unique, every story is unique and every holiday wish is unique. Holiday home specialist Belvilla, part of the tech travel group OYO, has highlighted a number of special houses in Europe with a unique background story on a convenient and fun webpage. Each holiday home has its own interesting story to tell, shared by the homeowners.

For the upcoming Christmas holidays, the Dutch have booked more than twice as many holiday homes compared to last year. This is evident from data from holiday home specialist Belvilla.

Soon it will be that time again and the most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner. Belvilla, one of the leading vacation home rental companies in Europe, is already seeing its 27% increase in bookings for Christmas and New Year's Eve in Austria compared to last year at the same time and even 25% higher than in 2019 at this time.
