Luxury Villa Holidays On A Budget
There are a few simple ways to ensure you get the best possible holiday even when you don’t want to spend the earth.
Firstly check your dates. July and August are often the peak months for holiday rentals so consider being a little flexible and travelling in June or September. Prices really are significantly cheaper then and your chosen destination may well be a much nicer place to be; it’s much easier to find an almost deserted beach and temperatures can be deliciously warm without the sweltering heat of August. Personally I just love October in Sardinia… the sea is bathtub warm right up to the end of the month the sun is shining the pace of life is much more relaxing and villa prices are up to 50 cheaper than in August.
Choose some of the less well known areas for your holiday. The Pula area in Sardinia for example is within very easy reach of some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean and the whole feel is more authentically Sardinian than in the famous Northern resorts of the Costa Smeralda. Prices are also significantly lower.
Rent a villa with a wellequipped kitchen… the local food markets are a delight to visit and the produce enticingly fresh. Rather than spending money on expensive meals out eat in and enjoy the experience of cooking with all those delicious locally grown ingredients.
Enlist the help of a good concierge service who will do all the running around for you seeking out the best deals on everything from car hire to yacht charters and restaurants or hotels. Companies like the Sardinia Holiday Concierge http://www.sardiniaholidayconcierge.com get their commissions from service suppliers so you won’t pay a penny more for their services than you would booking direct to the supplier. They do however have access to some great deals not available to the public and know the best places to go for the most competitive rates without scrimping on quality so you end up saving both time and money and getting some great independent advice in the process.
Pick a house a little further inland; although it is lovely to be right on the beach a few miles further away you will find a host of great deals as beachfront villas do go at a premium
Travel with friends… the price per head for an 8 person villa will often be significantly lower than for a 4 person villa for example and you may well enjoy your holiday more if you share it with loved ones. Alternatively arrange for you and your friends to take consecutive weeks in a villa… you can often get discounts on rentals of two weeks or longer which are unavailable for one week periods.
Beware false economies though… don’t book shabby villas or properties through agencies with poor customer service or who limit their liability in case of problems. It may just ruin your holiday entirely. Companies like The Sardinia Villa Collection http://www.thesardiniavillacollection.com offer excellent customer service and a handpicked villa portfolio so you know you will get the very best holiday possible.
Beware also trying to economise with cheap midweek flights; many villas operate only on a Saturday to Saturday basis so you might find your choice of accommodation severely limited. Always try to find the right villa first and flights later.
With a little forward planning and flexibility you can maximise your budget without sacrificing quality… happy holidays!
