I have had a quick look for you on a couple of websites (bored at work) and have found Bita Cora for £2091.78 on Sunshine.co.uk and also Be Live for £1756.82 on Booking.com. Have a look and good luck

Have just had a look on Be live's own website (be live hotels.com) and although it states the amount in euro's it equates to just £1706.42, not far off £300 cheaper than first choice
Cheers
