The European Holiday Home Awards were announced for the third consecutive year at the EHHA – the European Holiday Home Association – Award Dinner in Brussels September 14 2017.

The Award highlights the great quality and enormous diversity in the short-term holiday home rental market for tourist in Europe.

More than 600 houses and apartments from 18 European countries were nominated in a closely fought contest.

The EHHA is extremely proud to announce the winners of the Best European Holiday Holiday Home 2017 and we will promote the houses as some of the finest examples of European holiday short-term rental accommodation. They are the state-of-the-art”, says Secretary General of EHHA, Carlos Villaro Lassen.

More than 20 million beds are available in European holiday homes, providing fantastic multitude of choice of accommodation from the Northern tip of Norway to the isles of Greece for groups, individuals and families travelling on holiday.

Through the internet, the houses are just a few clicks away from millions of travelers and tourists, and by allowing their holiday home to be rented by others, the owners are proactively promoting a better use of resources, giving the tourists a wider range of choice as well as improving the economic development in the area.
