A Midlands provider of hand-picked villas has proved it is the best in its field by securing five major titles at the British Travel Awards.

The company was named as the Winner of the Best Medium Holiday Company to the Iberian Peninsula, whilst also picking up silver accolades for the Best Villa Company, Family Holiday Company, Holiday Company to East and South East Europe and Holiday Company to Hellenic Europe.

The announcement was made last night at a glamorous Gala Awards ceremony held in London and attended by more than 800 guests from the travel sector.

“This is our best ever performance at the British Travel Awards, going from two titles in 2017 to five this year,” explained Julie Blake, Managing Director of Solmar Villas.

“We are absolutely thrilled to secure so many accolades, especially given they are voted for by consumers who have experienced our villas and enjoyed the holidays and memories we are helping them to create. It’s a real testimony to the hard work and dedication of our staff.”

“We will use the British Travel Awards to support our continued growth and strategic aim of becoming the UK’s leading provider of hand-picked villas.”
