Many discerning travelers to Spain today prefer a villa rental rather than the standardized, cookie-cutter atmosphere of a hotel or resort. With a villa you get a more authentic feel of the “real” Spain, its wonderful traditions and customs, the everyday food and drink of the locals, their life-style and perhaps even learn the language in its true setting.

Villa rentals have become a very popular holiday option and you could find it a challenge to find the right one at the right price if you don't start your quest early enough. July-September are the peak season months in Spain, with millions of vacationers pouring into the country. This is also the season where there is maximum number of festivals and carnivals and you could find every small town crammed with tourists. Villas can be rented through a reputable and reliable agency or you can do your own research and book the right one yourself. Ensure that all the needs of the group are met. You also need to pick the right location. Many Spanish villas are situated in the heart of the country-side, quite remote from modern entertainment centers, medical facilities and supermarkets. You could end up spending a lot on transportation if your holiday plans include a lot of sight-seeing.



However, a big advantage with a villa rental is that you can save up to 40% costs as compared to a hotel. When you travel with a group, you can afford to rent a large and perhaps luxurious villa and avail of the numerous facilities that go with the villa – your own private swimming-pool, jacuzzi, private garden, gym, tennis or net-ball courts, television, broadband, entertainment-centers, bar, cycling tracks, etc., all of which make the holiday a great experience for the different age-groups you're with. Self-catering villa rentals also come with a fully-equipped private kitchen with all the appliances, so you can provide the food and drink of your choice and this can be a huge advantage when traveling with seniors and children. Meals can be had at leisure and you can look after any special dietary requirements. Chores like cleaning, laundry and cooking can be shared and you can take turns with baby-sitting or granny-sitting. There are huge cost-savings in such an arrangement.

However, if you're averse to a “working” holiday, there are catered villas too. These come with a full contingent of staff including butler, maids, laundry, chauffeur, chef and grounds-maintenance staff, all this at a price of course. You may also have to tip the staff at the end of your stay, so you need to factor this into your budget.

Finally, it's essential to carefully evaluate ads and brochures before you make the final decision on a villa rental. Go through reviews, discussion-boards and forums and arrive at you own judgment. The perfect villa rental can be an unforgettable part of your Spanish holiday!
