Home swap site offers a luxury home from home

Friday, 14 January 2011 3:48 PM

Ever feel like your finely-appointed home is going to waste while you’re on holiday? Why not choose to swap instead of rent your holiday home? LuxeHomeSwap.com offers to link up luxury home owners across the globe, so you know you’re getting only the very best.

Luxe Home Swap is exclusively for people who are proud of their homes and want to share them with other discerning holidaymakers. Properties on offer to members include well-kept homes in San Francisco, Marbella, Sydney and Buenos Aires.

Unlike some holiday homes, which can be misused by visitors who have no long-term responsibility for the state of the property, every Luxe Home Swap property is owner occupied for the rest of the year, so you know you’ll be getting a house that has been carefully looked after.

Membership costs just $159 (£100) per year, and includes an unlimited number of swaps per year, meaning you can save thousands of pounds on hotel bills and villa rental costs.
