Easter 2010:low-cost properties for rent in Europe

Low-cost flights and special offers are encouraging holidaymakers to go abroad for Easter.

France, Spain, the UK and Italy as well as several European cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona, Prague and Budapest are the most preferred destinations.

Apart from hotels, travellers will find a wide range of comfortable houses for rent. Prices for an apartment for two people in Paris start from 50 euros per night, while the price for a villa for seven guests with private pool is 85 euros/day. Tourists can also choose environment-friendly homes – in France, England, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy – whose owners are committed in respecting the environment, support the local community and promoting typical products. One can rent a small apartment for two people for 270-380/week in Hampshire or a double room for 50 euros/night in an ecological “posada” in Asturias (Spain).

In Italy there are excellent discounts for holidaymakers who book their stay in a home for rent before the end of March. Trentino Alto Adige is the leading destination for Easter holidays. A bedsit in the centre of Corvara – close to ski-resorts – costs 50 euros/day, while the price for a two-roomed flat in a “baita” – an Alpine refuge – can cost 140 euros and the price for a little environment-frinedly chalet for six guests is 35 euros/person.

Tuscany is another ideal holiday destination and offers a wide range of properties for rent: stone apartments with terrace on the first-floor, farmhouses with swimming pool, 18^th-century hunting villas surrounded by holm-oaks and cypresses.

Tuscany is one of the most sought-after investment destinations in Italy, thanks to the beauty of its rolling countryside and its cultural wealth. Overseas investors are interested in purchasing rural properties in order to convert them into holiday homes. Tuscany offers a relaxing atmosphere to holidaymakers, weekenders and day-trippers. It hosts enchanting cities and towns that boast an outstanding artistic and cultural heritage. There are charming sweet-scented vineyards and a gentle rolling countryside, as well as a fascinating cobalt sea in the region. Six sites – such as the old town of Florence and Siena have been included in the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Semplicemente Vacanze offers excellent holiday rental opportunities in Tuscany.

Apulia has also become a beloved holiday and real estate investments destination. Overseas buyers are choosing Apulia and Salento to purchase a second home to use it as their own holiday home, to make a buy-to-let investment in the region or to transform it in a tourist accommodation facility.

In Apulia and Salento it is possible to rent rural stone properties, historical residences, renovated 18^th-century “trulli” surrounded by olive groves of astounding beauty, beautiful cottages in the colourful countryside and villas overlooking the amazing crystal-clear sea.

Ischia and the Tyrrenian Sea, Porto Rotondo in Sardinia, Assisi and Spoleto in the peaceful region of Umbria – the green heart of Italy – are attractive places to spend Easter and summer holidays or just a week-end.

It is also possible to stay abroad - not only at Easter – completely free of charge by joining a network that promotes the exchange of real estate properties for holidays.

Last but not least, one can choose very peculiar accommodation types. In France – in Provence – it is possible to stay in a typical Mongolian “yurta” for 25 euros/night, or in a cube-shaped home with transparent ceiling for 90 euros/night for two people.
