Stay in the world’s most exclusive homes whenever you like

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Luxury hoteliers Oetker Collection have a wealth of experience managing ultra-luxe hotels worldwide, but they recognise that travellers sometimes desire a stay with more personality – without compromising on the luxury.

That’s why they’ve launched their Masterpiece Estates portfolio, something best likened to an ultra-exclusive Airbnb – albeit offering homes that boast cigar rooms and whiskey cellars.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Glen Affric is a graceful Victorian hunting lodge surrounded by 10,000 acres of lush game, greenery and sport, and overlooks a tranquil loch, while the aristocratic Farleigh Wallop House – owned by the same family since the 15th century, offers more refined activities, such as billiards and leisurely walks through its pristine rose garden.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
