So you probably look at Travel & Leisure Magazine (one of my personal favorites) and wish you had enough money to rent a villa? It always seems like one of those things rich people do. But come to find out, it is actually cheaper than a hotel in most cases. Renting a villa or apartment is the way to go. Here are some great reasons:
First, you have space. How often do you want to sit and relax in your hotel room? Imagine having a living room and a kitchen to enjoy some down time before going out. Or just having a nice night in.
You can rent a villa with as few as 2 people or as many as 20 +. That is myth a lot of people believe, that you can only do that with a group of people.
Next, you can really immerse yourself in the culture of wherever you are. In Europe, for example, they have fantastic markets and wine stores. When you are in a hotel you can’t really buy anything. Where are you going to put it? Or cook it as the case may be. When you are in an apartment or villa you can go to the markets and get fresh cheeses, meats, fish and enjoy the local wine. You can enjoy a snack before going out, or stay in and cook yourself a fantastic meal. So many more options! And if you have a group, cooking a large meal on vacation with friends is really a lot of fun.
Lastly, despite what you probably are thinking, it is cheaper, in most cases than getting a hotel. There are villas and apartments for every budget. You can get more space and pay less. And save money on eating out, if you so choose. Do you really need another reason? Go for it! You won’t regret it.
