The Czech Republic is a rewarding change from a beach holiday — a landlocked country of forested mountains, storybook towns and one of Europe's most beautiful capitals, all a short flight from the UK. A self-catering chalet or cottage gives you the space and freedom to explore at your own pace, whether that's skiing and hiking in the Giant Mountains, walking the sandstone rock towns of Adršpach, or basing yourself near Prague for its castle, old town and river.
Where you go shapes the trip. The Giant, Jizera and Ore Mountains are the country's ski-and-hike heartland; the Bohemian Forest offers vast, quiet nature; South and Eastern Bohemia bring castles and gentle countryside; and Prague pairs a city break with day-trips into the surrounding hills. This is a cool-climate, outdoors-and-culture destination with no coastline. Every villa is supplied by Interhome, a long-established European villa operator, with details and availability direct from the source.
