City Breaks
With thousands of chic city centre rentals across Europe and
further afield, Holiday-Rentals.co.uk provides travellers with
a cost-effective alternative to pricey ‘boutique’ hotels.
Renting a private apartment often works out up to
20 per cent cheaper than a similar standard hotel, and you
get much more than just a room. In addition to bedrooms, a
holiday rental provides living/dining space, separate bathrooms
and well equipped kitchens. Even in studios or smaller
apartments kitchenettes are provided, enabling travellers to save
money by having some meals at home so they can splash out on
nice lunches and dinners, excursions or souvenirs.

Skiing holidays
Holiday-Rentals.co.uk lists over 800 properties in ski resorts
throughout the world, providing a vast range of accommodation
to suit every group size and budget, with apartments starting
from under £100 per person per week.
The ski directory makes it easy to find the perfect accommodation;
whether it’s an apartment at the heart of the après-ski action,
or a ski-in, ski-out chalet on a quiet mountainside. For example,
youngsters might choose Bulgaria for budget bargains and halfpipes, or an apartment in the vibrant Val d’Isère, while more
mature skiers will appreciate the choice of luxury chalets among
breathtaking scenery in France, Italy, Switzerland, or Canada.

holidays, rural retreats or action-packed adventures, there’ll be a
holiday home to suit them on Holiday-Rentals.co.uk. With holidays
a key time for re-establishing family bonds, rentals are ideal for
