Bramasole in Italian means “yearning for the sun” and it may also strike a familiar chord because “Bramasole” was the name of Frances Mayes fixer-upper in “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Here in Arizona is another Bramasole which is a sun-kissed estate in Paradise Valley. A private villa of exquisite grandeur and brilliant design, this estate includes over 22,000 sq. ft. under roof and nearly 13,000 sq. ft. of actual living space. A classic swimming pool and jacuzzi highlight a backyard with a Cabana and fireplace, and well covered in cooling green spaces. Bramasole includes, upon request, a full range of concierge and services to cater to the most discriminating of travelers, and with the ability to sleep 12 in absolute blissfulness, this unique private villa is the ideal getaway for larger groups seeking the very best in luxury accommodations.
In October, we introduced some wonderful success stories/highlights that our clients have reported since the launch of The Global Bundle. Around the world, homeowners, property managers, resorts, developers and fractional owners have found The Global Bundle to be the perfect solution for their online marketing efforts.
The testimonials keep coming in, and below is a recap of November and December including success stories and some select new properties we’ve added in the past two months.
Success Stories: Paradise Valley, AZ: This $10 million estate received its first qualified inquiry within 24 hours of listing. Little over a month later, Bramasole booked for an entire month for $30,000. On top of that, the owner was contacted via another Global Bundle inquiry for the home to be used as the site for the next “Go-Daddy” commercial starring Indy-Car celebrity and Go-Daddy spokeswoman, Danica Patrick. A nice $5,000 booking for a quick, 4-hour commercial shoot. See home here: http://thesociety.com/vacation+rental/23829
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: Villa Las Palmas, a 13,000 square foot paradise, arguably one of the finest luxury villas in all of Cabo was brought to us for help in November. The home was still available for Christmas/New Year’s, and it was specifically urgent to get a qualified holiday booking. Within the 1st week on listing, Villa Las Palmas was booked for New Year’s, a $20,000+ booking. See home here: http://thesociety.com/vacation+rental/24009
Breckenridge, CO: This property located on Main Street was not seeing results from previous online marketing strategies. The home was listed through our Global Bundle back in mid August.

When we gather around the table during the Thanksgiving Holiday, we forget our forefathers and the pilgrims were probably dressed in bulky clothing, stoking the fire to stay warm and lighting candles against the limited daylight hours of the northeast. They would have been much happier at our DC Ranch, the premier golfing community in North Scottsdale, Arizona.
We’d like to suggest DC Ranch for your Thanksgiving holidays. This stunning four (4) bedroom estate captures the essence of the American southwest. Designed for vacations, this home in the beautiful Sonora desert provides guests the ultimate escape welcoming those in search of rest, relaxation and rejuvenation.
One of the many attributes of Arizona is that outdoor living is viable year round. The large patio spaces invite guests to relax and enjoy. The bar-b-que island is the envy of Bobby Flay fans and of course, if you desire a private pit-master for the grill, we can arrange that. The pebble-tec pool and adjacent spa will be part of you daily ritual when visiting DC Ranch.
Yet, we would be neglectful if we did not mention the beautiful and expansive interiors. Designed for maximum comfort and luxury, the home sleeps 8 guests in serene peacefulness. The vaulted ceilings evoke the openness of the southwest landscape. Three of the bedrooms, all with media have en-suite baths and are outfitted with Anichini linens and towels. The fourth bedroom presently configured as an office (including wireless, fax and printer/copier) can be converted to a bedroom with a pullout queen sleeper. For the chef of the party, the gourmet kitchen designed with liberal use of travertine marble on the floors, granite countertops, cherrywood cabinetry and the finest appliance suite from Sub-Zero, Wolf and Dacor are sure to impress.
If you are braving the onset of winter chill in the northeast, the humidity of the southeast, the cold winds of the Midwest, the snow of the Rockies or the fog of the northwest, we suggest starting a new tradition, Thanksgiving in Arizona at our DC Ranch Retreat.
Thanksgiving Nightly Rate: $900 (Discounted from $1,500)

According to a recent article in the Travel section of The New York Times, those looking for bargain travel deals between now and the holidays should act soon. The article states travel from business centers including New York and Chicago is increasing leading to higher airline ticket costs. While bargains continue, prices seem to have bottomed-out and are now on the up-swing as the holidays approach and the economy continues to strengthen.
Winter destinations including Florida, the Caribbean, Arizona, Mexico and Hawaii are embracing increased booking volumes for the upcoming holiday season. However, if you are willing to travel before the high season, opportunities are still available at wallet friendly rates.
Arizona, always popular during the snow season up north, this is also a destination which was affected by the barrage of bad public relations concerning convention and business travel. Our partners in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area are offering unprecedented values concerning their vacation rentals. Book now to secure the best rates and availability, when the snow starts to fly up north, the phones will begin to ring and the attractive rates will be a distant memory. Consider Bramasole in Paradise Valley, one of the finest vacation home rentals in the area, sure to impress and exceed all your expectations.
