Most people who go on holiday, especially breaks by the beach in places like Spain, Portugal and France often end up staying in hotels and whilst I have nothing against them, there are plenty of other alternatives.

If you are planning a holiday with a group of friends or with your family, renting a villa can be an excellent idea.
