    can anyone do any better please?

    The Quote itself: £649per person 2adults 1p per person 2 children = £1298 - £65 cashback quidco TOTAL = £1233
    Who the quote is from: Last minute
    Is there a booking fee: no
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: flybe
    The departure Airport/Post: Southampton
    The Holiday Dates: 2nd Aug 9th Aug 08 ( any August should be ok )
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults, 2 children 7 & 5
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Parc Hotel Paridiso 4 star
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Half Board
    Any specific requirements: transfers
    Is an in-flight meal included: not sure

    Entrance to Gardaland included with this holiday
    Only thing I don't like is that hotel is out of town a bit ( not walkable ) but bus transfer free every hour.
    can't find - so far anything else in or around this area for this kind of price, where we wouldn't have to rely on bus/taxi to get into centre.
    Happy to go for longer duration
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:
