Villa for two with pool in Greece

Hi, me and the OH are looking to rent a villa for two with a pool in Greece next May, roughly around the end of May (18th to31st) ish. Can be one or two weeks.

The trouble is its so difficult to find a place without ridiculour surcharges because there are only two of us.

Has anyone any ideas please?
Old Faithful we roam the range together,
Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
When the round up days are over,
And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
For you old faithful pal of mine.

    You would be better to look for a self catering apartment? There are going to be very few villas with only one bedroom x
    Gone ... or have I?

    What's your budget per week ??
  • Hi, I have found this site really useful holiday-rentals.co.uk/p92537. The apartment we have already booked for next year. the owners are British and extremely helpful and friendly. Good luck.

    try james villas and meon villas they both have small villas for two people (some with pools)

    I think meon villas are doing free car hire if you book through them

    Greek Options have some nice looking places in the Ionian Islands if you want a package deal.

    I fancy Milos, on Lefkas - my own windmill! Aaaagh, dream on!!!!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    Hi, thanks for all your ideas. Ideally the budget is around £1000, but cheaper is better of course!

    Try www.villarenters.com They have loads. Here's one that looks nice and with the early booking discount comes to just over £1000 for 2 weeks in May 2009. http://www.villarenters.com/advert_summary.asp?ref=15092

    Another site is www.holidaylets.net
    I've just found this 1 bed villa with pool. http://www.holidaylets.net/properties/17677
    They haven't put their prices on for next year yet, but this year they were charging £400 pw in May so I presume it would be something similar. You can email the owner and check and if you're booking this far ahead you're bound to get a discount.
