Unlocking authentic, all-season experiences for homeowners in every season of life sits at the very heart of our vision.

Leave the parents at home

As more of the global population lives to not only reach but really relish its ‘golden years’, itineraries that celebrate twilight travellers are gaining relevance. Not only are grandparents rejoining their children and grandchildren on whole-family holidays, they are choosing – in increasing numbers – to leave parents to their own devices and indulge in some escapism with their grandchildren. This so-called ‘skip-gen’ travel is a trend that will only blossom as the world’s population lives longer and livelier. From long-weekend city jaunts to languid, sun-soaked getaways, August curates travel experiences that cater to carefree teens and retired baby boomers alike, with destinations for ticking bucket lists and making lifetime memories. Perfectly equipped and conveniently located, charming boltholes or spacious, sparkling-pooled villas, August invites effortless, ageless getaways that set the scene for intergenerational discovery.

Take a culture trip with the Pied à Terre Collection

For curious spirits of all ages, the effervescent cities of Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona and Cannes are yours to discover with the August Pied à Terre Collection. Bedecked with modern conveniences and designed for comfort, our charming two-bedroom homes – ample for small family getaways, skip-gen jaunts or weekends with friends – are tucked away in hand-picked enclaves all travellers can covet. Everything these distinct and characterful locales has to offer, from fine dining to intimate aperitivos and ancient wonders, are just a stone’s throw away from your front door and open all year round, making them effortlessly accessible. 

Dive into the neighbourhood jazz scene, eat where the locals do, fill your suitcase with take-home treasures from artisan boutiques and local markets or just sink in and relax the serenity of your August home. Blessed with the beauty of choice, parents, kids and grandparents alike can immerse themselves in the vibrant and diverse cultures of the Continent, knowing that all they could ever need is just outside their front door.Should the energy of the city become too much, August homeowners can unlock a slower pace of life with the Signature, Premium and Prime Collections.

Slow living with the Signature Collection

If verdant hills, glittering coastline, pristine powder or bucolic bliss are more your tempo, the Signature Collection unlocks a different kind of European lifestyle. Spacious three and four-bedroom family homes with up to three bathrooms open up the joy of intergenerational travel, while pools, patios and generous entertaining and dining areas invite the family to come together or enjoy time alone. With grandparents joining, too, parents may even get the occasional night off to soak in the romance of the regions.

‍

Nestled in enviable European idylls, this Collection exudes diversity, satisfying your every travel inclination, whatever your age. Spend a week hiking and cove-hopping under the Mallorcan sun, another week wine tasting and soaking up the rich heritage of Tuscany, and another exploring the scintillating shores and inland treasures of the Cote d’Azur. Then, take a winter break in the mountains of Chamonix to indulge the more adventurous amongst you, ending the year with a snug Christmas break in the Cotswolds. Just secluded enough, August Signature homes are located to bring homeowners into the heart of these sought-after communities. Meet your neighbours for morning coffee, enjoy a drink with new-found friends at your local taverna, and visit time and again to nurture new connections. 

‍

If this blend of languid and adventurous locales ignites your family’s imaginations, then the Premium and Prime Collections are the next step on your August journey.

Unlocking a Premium European lifestyle 

Set once more in the achingly beautiful surrounds of Tuscany, Mallorca, the South of France, French Alps and the Cotswolds, August Premium Collection homes blend some of Europe’s most sought-after rural and village locations with the most elegantly finished family homes. With four to five bedrooms and three to four bathrooms, these spacious residences are made for hosting. Cherished groups of friends or burgeoning families can come together to immerse in the delights of sparkling pools, saunas, jacuzzis, game and cinema rooms and well-stocked wine cellars. 

‍

Designed with entertaining in mind, Premium Collection homes spotlight expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, sweeping views and ever so slightly more secluded addresses. Accessible yet tucked away and capturing the ideal blend of tranquillity and adventure, these homes assuage every member of your brood. For the ultimate family escape with everything taken care of – from keeping your home sparklingly clean to stocking the fridge with edible delicacies and fresh-baked bread – the August Premium Collection is an apt setting for magical moments and new family traditions.

‍

For something extra special

Opulently renovated and exuberantly spacious – both inside and outside – the August Collection of Prime homes really is a thing of beauty. Set, once more, against the enchanting backdrops of the French Alps, the undulating interior of the Cote d’Azur, the timeless Tuscan hills and the lyrical landscapes of Mallorca, these homes can effortlessly host not just multiple generations but multiple families. With five or more bedrooms and complementing bathrooms, these high-tech homes are the pinnacle of family getaways, boasting large pools, verdant grounds with expansive views, cinema rooms, gyms, temperature-controlled wine cellars and zoned heating, to keep everybody entertained and luxuriously comfortable. 

‍

Whilst absorbing the richness of the surrounding regions and communities, families taking time out in a Prime Collection home can indulge in the services of a private chef, wellness therapies, local excursions and more, so the whole family – from grandmother to newborn – can have their every whim tended to without lifting a finger. The elevated facilities, locales and extra touches make a Prime home the definition of the European dream – for every generation.
