All is not lost for some summer sun

All is not lost for those who didn’t get a chance to escape on a big summer break this year. September is an ideal time for that long-overdue holiday – the sun is still out, but the tourist hordes have eased off the beaches and the prices are low. What’s not to like?

With hundreds of Holiday-Rentals’ properties worldwide reducing their rates in September, there couldn’t be a better time to bag a holiday bargain.

Below are some examples of properties in hot locations in Europe and the US which are running special offers for their remaining weeks. And for this year’s staycationers, a couple of homes in the UK are also suggested.
