Nothing is more refreshing than a vacation. You finally have the time to leave the stress of everyday life behind, relax and enjoy time with family. Only choosing the right accommodation can make or break your vacation plans. While you always have the option of staying in a hotel, you also have another option:a vacation home. Holiday homes are available from large luxury country houses and villas to simple yet comfortable cottages, and they are often in the most beautiful locations. Belvilla has an extensive range of unique holiday homes in Europe, so that you will always find one that suits your needs. So why should you consider staying in a vacation home instead of a hotel? These are the main reasons to choose a holiday home for your next vacation.
More privacy and more space
When you compare a standard hotel room to a vacation home, it's easy to see why some people prefer the space that a vacation rental offers. But perhaps even more appealing than the extra space is the extra privacy you get when renting a holiday home. No cleaners coming by, no thin walls where you can hear the neighbours, no crowded pools, and no noisy other guests. Holiday homes always offer more space and more privacy than a hotel room.
It can be cheaper than a hotel room
Many destinations have holiday homes that suit every budget. Not only will you find comfortable and stylish accommodations at an affordable price, but you can save by (occasionally) cooking for yourself, which will make a huge difference to your vacation budget. Moreover, a holiday home is always a better choice if you are traveling in a larger group.
Unusual holiday accommodation
There are endless options when it comes to vacation homes. No one is the same. You can rent a luxury villa or a spacious bungalow on the beach, and you will get a completely different feeling with each stay. Or maybe a cozy wooden chalet in the forest or in the mountains? With all the special vacation rentals available, it won't be an easy choice to make.
The dog is also welcome
Leaving a dog at home can be stressful for both the dog and the owner – not to mention where to leave the dog. Many people choose to take their pets with them on vacation, so it's no wonder that more vacation homes allow travelers to bring their furry relatives with them.
You live by your own rules
Having your own space also means you can plan your day at your own pace. You no longer have to get up early to have breakfast or even wait in line behind the other guests. If you want to take a nap, you can always do that because the cleaning lady does not come in unexpectedly. In a holiday home, nobody cares whether you want to have breakfast in the afternoon or whether you choose to swim in the evening ... and the sunbeds will certainly not all be reserved before 8 am.
You live like a local
While hotels are almost always located in touristy neighborhoods, vacation homes are often located outside the city; where the locals live. So if you want to have that authentic local experience, a holiday home is ideal. And if you stay with the locals, they will accept you as one of them; what does discovering hidden gems mean.
It gives a homely feeling
No matter how hard you try, a hotel room will never feel like a home. It will always remain a room that you have rented to sleep. In a holiday home you can experience that homely feeling, just like the comfort of your own home, even if you are far away.
