We are the largest independent holiday letting company in North Wales. At Dioni we have a passion for the people, culture, language, countryside & coast. We have great local knowledge and understanding of each specific area and property. We are looking for a sense of authenticity when we take on a new holiday cottage. Seeking a real ‘place’ ~ somewhere with distinctive heritage and culture, which connects with the region’s unique landscapes, food and people.
