Picking up a late villa deal is an excellent way to save money on your family holiday. However, special offers on villas in popular locations can often be hard to find. If you’re thinking of taking a family holiday in the Mediterranean then these three top tips can help you cut the cost of your holidays, whether you’re lucky enough to find a late villa deal or not:
Book Early or Late
Most people have heard of last minute bargains or how booking at the last possible minute can help them pick up a late villa deal. However, there’s also a lot to be said for booking early. According to a top British travel agent, the best time to book a holiday is eleven months before you intend to travel. This allows you to receive all sorts of special offers on your villa holiday, from early booking discounts to better availability on cheaper flights. Some tour operators even give customers that book early the chance to pay in installments. This means that you can stretch the cost of your holiday over time, which is bound to be a lot easier on your finances.
Whilst booking early is all very well, booking villa holidays late is also a great way to get yourself a bargain. Thanks to the rules of supply and demand, if there are unsold villas within the last week or two then it is possible to pick up some great villa special offers with just a small click of the mouse. The internet has made tracking down late villa deals a lot easier and if you know that you want to travel soon then these can often be found just by searching online.
Book on the Internet
Nowadays, some of the best offers on late villa holidays can be found online. Without the overheads of fully staffed shop fronts, some Internet operators are able to pass on their savings to their customers, and there are a number of late villa deals to be found. This is especially true if you deal with the holiday operator rather than the travel agent.
Sometimes you’ll find good value holiday packages that include both accommodation and flights; sometimes you might find it’s cheaper to book them separately. All the information you could want on any destination is on the web, as well as all manner of videos, pictures and customer reviews to help you make a decision on where to take your late villa holidays. Best of all, browsing online, you won’t have to go out on a rainy day to collect an armful of brochures.
Choose your Destination Carefully
Before you start searching the Internet for late villa deals or special offers on villas, you may want to check that the destination you’re holidaying in is value for money. Although it’s not the typical destination for a villa holiday we’ll use Oslo as an example. In the Norwegian capital, a pint of beer is around £7.00. A meal for two in a restaurant, with wine and a tip, would cost you around £75.00. Therefore, even if you picked up a late villa deal in Oslo, the price of a holiday here is quickly going to mount up. Therefore choose your destination wisely, a holiday in Cyprus or the Balearic Islands works out very reasonably for a family of four and will prevent your holiday costs from rising excessively.
