Let us help you choose your ideal holiday destination

When choosing where to take your next holiday, the choices are baffling – do you want long-haul or short-haul, hotel or self-catering, active or relaxing? The list goes on!

If you want an easy short flight from any European airport, including the UK and Ireland, then Southern Europe holds a host of opportunities! We have selected the popular destinations of Spain, France, Greece and Italy, to give you a fantastic choice of cities and beaches, sea and mountains - and much, much more.

Self-catering accommodation in Southern Europe is an excellent option, as you can make your holiday exactly what you want it to be. Don’t fancy going out for a meal? No problem, just visit the local market and cook at home. Trying to save money? Why not holiday with a group of friends, split the accommodation costs and enjoy your own pool or garden to relax in, a kitchen to prepare delicious meals, and space for everyone to enjoy themselves. Self-catering holiday homes give you the opportunity to go out and spend money only when you want to, rather than be forced out by the restrictions of your accommodation.

So self-catering accommodation sounds great, but where exactly to go? Well this is a tricky one, as all the countries and their regions offer something completely different! To help you decide we’ve produced short country guides to give you an overview of each area’s charms. We will also be adding regional guides later in the year, so make sure you come back to read more!
