Introduction

If you’ve never contemplated renting a holiday property direct from the owner before, let alone abroad or from a foreign holiday home owner, it can at first seem rather daunting. However, if you are tempted by some of the properties and holiday opportunities out there for those who decide to have an independent holiday, then Rentallettingsinspain.com is for you.

We have an easy system for you to get in touch with owners or their agents of many lovely holiday properties, all available without the restrictions of the typical hotel package holiday.

Spain is a hugely diverse country and its holiday accommodation reflects this and the last few years have seen a great deal of new privately owned holiday accommodation come onto the market. Holiday accommodation, as you would expect there are many types of accommodation to choose from including from apartments, penthouses, villas and townhouses – plus many other options.

Rentallettingsinspain.com has made it easy for you to get in touch, and has taken great steps to take away the communication problems, enabling you to have a great new holiday experience of your very own design.

Planning your independent holiday

Remember this is half the fun of the holiday. First, decide on your dates. If you can be a bit flexible it makes it easier both for the holiday accommodation owner and for you to get a cheaper flight to your destination.

Next, if you don’t already know, decide where in Spain you would like to go.

If you don’t know Spain very well, check out the vast amount of information available i.e. guidebooks, the Spanish Tourist information and our ‘Links’ (http://www.rentallettingsinspain.com/tourist‐information ) page on our website to help you find an area that might be suitable for your holiday.

The next step is usually to find accommodation before you book your flight. This gives you the widest choice of accommodation and dates. However, some people have obviously found bargain flights and need to fit in their accommodation to those dates.

A Guide to being an Independent Traveller

Type in the area of Spain you would like to go to or choose a region using the links on the map, or if you already have a flight, use the ‘Search box’. You can either browse through the accommodation on offer, or if you’re not sure, refine your search by inserting your own particular needs in the Refine Search area boxes.

Contacting the accommodation owner

Make a shortlist of at least three or four properties that meet your needs. (Note that in high season your first choice may not be available. Not all of the owners or their agents are able to keep their calendars up to date for technical reasons.) Click on contact owner to send an email. Check whether the owner speaks your language

In your first email you should check availability for your dates, stating date of entry and date of leaving. Ask for the total price for the stay and state the number of people in your party. The prices published on the site are usually correct, but may be slightly different for your stay, and may depend on the number of people in your party, or you may receive a discount for travelling mid week, off season etc.

Remember to write your name and include your email address correctly spelt. Send the same email to all the property owners on your short list. Keep a copy so that if you do not get an answer within a couple of days and you are really interested in the property, you can resend your request.

Write in clear, easy English in short sentences; they may speak English, but may not be perfectly fluent. Ask any other questions that are important to you that are NOT covered in the website listing.

Making a reservation and organising your travel arrangements

Once you have received confirmation from the property owner or agent of the availability and price for the accommodation, send another email saying you would like to make a reservation for the property, repeat the dates and arrival times you require and the price you have been quoted for those dates and make sure you ask any final questions or any doubts you may have at this stage. Ask how the property owner or
agent wishes the deposit to be paid to confirm the reservation. Wait 48 hours for a reply confirming the reservation.
