Vintage Travel is offering a week’s villa rental from July 11 for up to 8 people for £1,495, a saving of £900. Couyoula is a beautifully restored 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom stone farmhouse with a large pool, table tennis and floodlit boules pitch, all set in 3 acres of grounds close to the village of Puylagarde in Tarn-et-Garonne, south west France. Flights (closest airports Rodez or Toulouse) are not included.
Save £203 pp on a week at the Aphrodite Hills Resort, close to Paphos in Cyprus. Departing July 1 with Prestige Holidays, a week now costs from £869 pp including return flights from Gatwick, private transfers and accommodation on a B&B basis. More like a small village than a hotel, Aphrodite Hills boasts its own golf course, tennis academy, spa and huge choice of restaurants with rooms, suites and villas.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the Thai tourism authorities are keen to promote the great value for money offered in Thailand; we’ve had a look at what’s on offer and have tracked down a week for under £500 with Hayes & Jarvis. Book by June 30 for 8 nights from October 19 at the 3.5* Centara Karon Resort on Phuket for £499 pp, a saving of £175 pp. The price includes 8 nights’ accommodation on a B&B basis, flights with Singapore Airlines and transfers.
Closer to home, Red Funnel has some amazing fares on their midweek car ferry services from Southampton to the Isle of Wight this summer. Travel on a Wednesday, for example, and a car with up to 6 passengers will cost no more than £32 return.
Painstakingly restored this year by Long Travel‘s owners, Ray and Annie Long, 2 new characterful trulli in Puglia are now available this summer.
