For many people, the joy of travel comes from having the freedom to explore at your own pace – whether that means discovering historic towns, enjoying local food, learning more about a new culture or simply taking time to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
The Holiday Property Bond (HPB) has been helping people enjoy memorable stays for more than 40 years, offering access to a unique collection of more than 30 locations across the UK and Europe. Rather than traditional holiday accommodation alone, HPB gives Bondholders the opportunity to escape year after year, discovering new places while enjoying the comfort and familiarity of their favourite locations.
One of these destinations is HPB Stigliano, a peaceful retreat set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside.
Experience the Charm of Tuscany
Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, HPB Stigliano is an ideal base for experiencing one of Italy’s most celebrated regions. Here, days can be spent enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside, exploring local villages or simply taking in the views from this beautiful setting.
Tuscany is a region rich in history, culture and tradition. The medieval city of Siena, with its impressive cathedral and famous Piazza del Campo, is within easy reach, while charming hilltop villages, local markets and family-run vineyards offer a glimpse into the authentic character of the area.
For those who love history and culture, there is plenty to uncover. Spend a day wandering the streets of Florence, admire the medieval towers of San Gimignano or enjoy a leisurely lunch in a village piazza, sampling the flavours that have made Tuscan cuisine so celebrated.
Whether you are drawn to art and architecture, beautiful landscapes or simply the pleasure of a slower pace, Tuscany offers countless ways to enjoy your time away.

HPB is giving you the chance to win a seven-night stay at HPB Stigliano, including return flights and car hire.
The prize includes a week in Tuscany from 8–15 May 2027, giving one lucky winner the opportunity to experience the scenery, culture and timeless charm of this much-loved part of Italy.
Enter the competition for your chance to enjoy your own Tuscan escape and discover HPB Stigliano for yourself.
Compliance
An initial payment from £5,000 and a quarterly fee of under £39 (that is around £155 a year), which can increase in line with but not exceed the Retail Price Index Excluding Mortgage Interest (RPIX), gives you access to all HPB’s holiday homes. For each HPB holiday you will pay a no-profit user charge covering only property running and maintenance costs, and use of on-site facilities. The charge is the same throughout the year – there are no high season premiums. The average weekly charge for a studio sleeping two is around £388 and around £597 for a two-bedroom property, larger properties are also available. After an initial charge of 25% your money is invested in a fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself meets annual charges of 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly. Your investment return is purely in the form of holidays and, as with most investments, your capital is at risk. You can surrender your investment to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances) but you will get back less than you invested because of the charges referred to above, as well as other overheads and changes in the value of the fund’s properties and securities.
