Villas with views – and bags of style

High season deals on high end villas are still available says villa specialist Freelance Holidays. The company offers private holiday homes on a choice of Mediterranean islands and is highlighting school holiday deals across its range.

For example, on Mallorca, Hort D’en Gelos overlooks rolling farmland at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains, 10 minutes’ drive from thriving Campanet and 15 minutes from the beaches of Pollensa. The rustic farmhouse is beautifully restored to four-star standard and sleeps six, with three shower/bathrooms, its own pool and barbecue. Seven nights arriving 1, 8 or 15 August were £1850 but are now reduced to £1665, or just £278 per person based on maximum occupancy.

On Crete, Villa Eleni’s infinity pool offers far-reaching views down the valley to Souda Bay 10 miles away. This two-bed, two-bath villa is elegantly styled and only ten minutes’ walk from the tavernas of Douliana village. A week’s hire in August starts at £1295, down from £1495 – a saving of £200.

Flights are not included. A host of charters and low-cost airlines fly to all Freelance Holidays’ destinations and the company can book car hire for guests.
