Villa specialist Freelance Holidays reports ‘pockets’ of availability at the end of August – and is highlighting the last week of August for family bargains, when prices drop by up to £400 this week – before it’s ‘back to school’ for everyone.
For example, on Crete a week’s holiday starting 25 August costs only £1195 – a saving of £400 on the previous week’s rental. That’s for Villa Petra, which combines 21st century facilities with traditional Cretan features such as beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls. Petra sleeps up to six in three bedrooms, with its own pool and is set on a hill with panoramic views of the sea, just 6kms away. Flights (the island is well served by charter and low-cost airlines) drop this week too – at the moment I can see fares from £221 with Eurocypria.
Looking ahead to September, there is a fair amount of availability, including a choice of character cottages, such as Velanos 4, one of four stone cottages perched just outside the village of Kefali in Crete Velanos 4 has more original features, beamed ceilings and terracotta tiles than you can shake a stick at and sleeps up to five – plus use of the shared pool with jaw-dropping views. Price for seven nights’ hire starting 8 September is £575 excluding flights.
