    Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal and could I get better. Villa holiday for 4 with pool near beach, near restaurants and with car hire and flights included for 1300 quid in mallorca travelling from Newcastle on 20/6 for 1 week with villa parade. Alternatively which villa site would you recommend for travelling within the next two weeks or do you think that is the best deal i would get:j I have tried James villas and havent got any better than that price and you dont get a car. I will travel anywhere short haul. Thanks for looking I have now booked with villa parade 8 bed villa for 614 minus 75 quid money off voucher which i found by googling for discounts villa parade. Altogether with flight 1000 ish including car hire free with vp. They have reduced alot of their villas if you go short notice so worth a look.
