• You have more flexibility around the food you eat either in restaurants or through buying local produce at a market or shops
• There are no fixed times when you have to eat with a self catering rental so you have more flexibility. Often it is nice to be able to hire a car and explore the area and try different restaurants in the local area.
• Costs - catering for yourself is usually much cheaper than all inclusive deals
• Self catering holiday rentals give you more space than a hotel. Many places will have private areas outside to sit and enjoy the sunshine in. Some villas for example have private swimming pools and garden areas.

There is nosuch thing a the right holiday as everybody will have different needs. With that in mind it is important when booking that you have a clear idea as to what your break must have, what you would like it to have, what you don't mind about and what do definitely don't want e.g. if you have teenagers or young children then some type of entertainment may be good. If you are looking for q quiet break then being next to a disco is not so great. One idea is to write a list with your family so you can check the details of potentials and rule out those that do not meet your needs.

We include a map on many of the details pages so you can have a look and see whats around e.g. how far away is it from the sea, is it near a motorway, if its a country break how green is the local area on the map. There is a little box on the map that allows you to change it to a satellite view to get a better picture of whats in the area. We also include as many pictures as we can to give you the best view as to what it looks like.
