Three villa specialists have stepped in to help holidaymakers and agents affected by the closure of James Villas, while seeking too to win new business and give people routes back into the industry.

Solmar Villas has secured more than 200 of James Villas' properties in Europe

Solmar Villas said it has secured more than 200 of James Villas’ European properties following Awaze’s decision to axe the 40-year-old brand, and has pledged to support JV staff affected by the closure.

Holiday rental group Awaze on Monday (30 October) confirmed it had stopped taking new JV bookings and would mothball the brand with immediate effect, putting 40 jobs at risk of redundancy.
