Yes, we see them lowing around Bethlehem’s manger, but cows aren’t a symbol that we readily associate with Christmas.   Yet a single cow represents more than simple food and nutrition for struggling families in developing nations.  It becomes an income- generating business when families sell their extra milk, yoghurt, and cheese at the village market.   With that income, families can access health care, and children can go to school.

The Villa Marco Polo Inn and our partners in  Victoria’s Historic Inns are your perfect holiday getaways, and we want to make a difference.    When you book a 2 night holiday between St. Nicholas Day on December 6 and Twelfth Night/Three Kings Day/ Epiphany   on January 6, we will donate10% of your room rate to Plan Canada for the  purchase of cows for  farmers in developing lands.

So, in addition to the bountiful breakfasts, the elegant surroundings, and the gracious hospitality, your stay at the Villa can help to spread Christmas cheer to families around the world.     And that’s something to moo about.  So book your stay now, and help rustle up a whole herd of help this holiday season!
