Best place to search and book a villa holiday

i've given up trying to use James Villas as can't search a range of dates.

can anyone suggest a good location to search for a villa holiday in spain/turkey etc for the school summer holidays, not bothered on dates (as wife is a teacher and i run my own business), 14 nights and looking at northern airport or scotland, agian not overlly bothered which one as a couple of hours from all of them.

Any pointers would be great, we've done ferry/villa holidays for the last couple of years and looking for a change

    Try Monarch's website the do villas in a few locations then just book your flights with a low cost carrier

    Transfer options you could hire a car or use someone like www.a2btransfers.com normally with the villas your looking at private taxis rather than shuttle transfers

  • Holiday lettings are great for villas but they only do accomodation, you would need to book your own flights.
