Holiday websites?

[luciam]

We are looking to book our summer holiday and would be grateful for any recommendations for websites for accommodation (Spain & France). Family of 5 looking for villa with a pool near beach and town. We have tried Owners Direct and everything is booked (not that surprising!).

Many thanks

For other countries e.g meditarranean and far east we have used Wimdu, Airbnb and website now called HomeAway I think. But I have also did some research with Holiday Lettings and Tripadvisor where people may rate the villas they stayed in. For the last 3 trips to France we have used Eurocamps and Suncamps but then booked direct with the campsites which is cheaper especially Castel group which does discounts. IMO the kids love being in a camp with other kids and activities which is restful for the parents as well.

We use I-escape and canopy and stars

Alternative Aquitaine is good for france...

Simpson Travel - but more spanish islands and greece I think.. eg http://www.simpsontravel.com/mallorca-holidays/pollenca-and-puerto-pollenca/villas/cal-roma (not cheap but lovely!!)

Tots to Travel has some good options too. Hope you find somewhere!

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Still not booked but am sure we'll find something. We have used Simpsons a few times in the past, but that was before we had school age children and their prices are a bit over our budget now sadly!

Solmar Villas are good and not pricey.

Hi! Check this website https://tranio.com/ It has a huge catalogue of properties in France and Spain. It is a broker, so it will connect you with local estate agencies (for free)

We booked our holiday through totstotravel. All properties are family friendly and they provide you everything you need, cots, toys, high chairs etc. They had a lot of nice places - may well be booked up now but you never know.
