Florida

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Well it's been a while since I have written a review, having been to America and Europe im now back and refreshed with hopefully some more stories to tell. This review is about my time in Florida, I spent a week, went to a live wrestling event, visited the most spectacular beaches, went to the latest night spots and so forth, hopefully you'll enjoy my new batch of reviews. P.S, I will be incorporating my wrestling experience in this review, as the whole premise of this holiday was for this sole reason. Brief History: Florida is an American State located in the southern region of America, nearest to the Atlantic Ocean. Its rich Spanish history can be dated back to the early 1500's, when Juan Ponce de León, who was one of the first to step foot in Florida and coincidently name it. Many wars with the British, Spanish, French and local...

Florida: The trip of a lifetime!

Advantages: Lots of fun, loads of things to do, great weather, brings the family together
Disadvantages: Expensive, parks can be busy, long days

...the surprise would be. Opening up the card, 11 plane tickets dropped out. Glancing at them further I let out a shreak! We were going to Florida. We would be flying on the 16th July and we would be staying for 19 days in a large villa. ** PREPARING FOR OUR TRIP. The preperation for our trip began in around May, two months before we were due to fly. The weather in Florida was expected to be incredibly sunny while we were there so we packed lots of shorts, t.shirts, sandles, and plenty of suncream. I searched online, scowering through every Florida site, deciding what I wanted to do there, and what kind of thing look good. There certainly seemed to be plenty of fun for everyone, and it definitly looked like a family holiday. As our passports would be out of date in June, we were required to get new passports for going to Florida. We...

Hotel Villa Patrizi, Rome

Advantages: Good location, good value for money, polite staff
Disadvantages: Small rooms

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why we chose the hotel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My boyfriend and I decided to take a weekend city break in Rome, we were joined by his parents who travelled seperately. We looked on Expedia for a good deal and we found one with reasonable BA flights and 3 nights stay at Hotel Villa Patrizi. We looked at the information and pictures of the hotel on the internet and it looked good so we decided to book it. Now we have been to the hotel, and looking back at the pictures, they are true to life and do not decieve you in anyway that the hotel looks different to what it does. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ About the hotel ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hotel Villa Patrizi is a brand new 4 star hotel located in Rome. As you walk into the hotel there is a pretty sitting area full of beautiful, lively and colourful flowers. If the weather was nicer...

Review of Villa Patrizi, Rome

A taste of Italy with James Villas

Advantages: wonderful property
Disadvantages: terrifying access road

...James Villas had a strong advertising campaign over the last 2 years and, after a very happy holiday with them to Mallorca in 2004, we decided to book a week in Tuscany for the end of August 2008. The website is very informative and we decided on our accommodation - Villa Podere Il Renaio in Legoli. A helpful section of the website allows you to check availability and prices for the week you want and weeks either side and so we were sorted. Actually, no! I know flights from Newcastle to Pisa were available with Jet2 (I had checked the prices on Jet2 website) but the James Villas website insisted I could only fly from Manchester, so I had no choice but to make a phone booking. Phoning to book the holiday was easy. There was no queue, I got straight through to a very friendly operator who assured me that she could book Jet2...

Review of James Villas

Villa Mallorca - Cala D'or - James Villas

Advantages: package holiday
Disadvantages: Low value for money and bad customer relations

...Initially we wanted to book our package via the internet. However the flights on the site were either extremely unsociable hours (departure 5am etc) or you missed both ends because you arrived past midnight and left the villa around 6am the last day. Finally we rung an agent who seemed to have access to many more flights than we did and got a suitable time. Because this was not an internet option we had to go through him. This started our first problem because on the internet the default option includes the welcome package. As we were arriving at midnight with 3 young children this was necessary. The price he quoted was slightly higher than what we were looking at on the net but there were some differences such as we changed hire car to transfer and different flight times. All that taken together it was reasonable to understand...

James Villa Holidays

Advantages: Great properties, unique experiences, wonderful holidays.
Disadvantages: None - although might not be suitable for all travelers

...Over the past 3 years we have used James Villa Holidays six times. Our initial experience was in Gale, Algarve; we went on to stay in La Font, Pollença, Mallorca three times; and more recently have stayed at La Boheme in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote and Forteza in Kalami, Crete. Our first taste of James Villas was in a 2 bedroom apartment in Gale, Algarve. The apartment itself was spacious and well maintained, with a large patio, fully equipped kitchen and TV/Satellite unit in the comfortable living room. Although the choice of English-language channels was limited, one doesn?t generally go on holiday to sit in front of the idiot box, and as we understand a modicum of German, the German MTV channel was most entertaining. As is the norm in our experience with James Villas, the supplied literature concerning the accommodation and local area...

YOUR FLORIDA VACATION

...Thoughts about a holiday to Florida, it does not require great sums of money. Touring Florida requires some cautious planning. It is much more affordable than people envisage.

Villa Olivo, Bardolino

Advantages: Can't think of any.
Disadvantages: The Owners

...Date of holiday 1st - 15th July 2006 Let me first explain what type of holiday my family and I like, then I will explain the accommodation and lastly I will tell you of our experience of the Villa Olivo in Bardolino Italy (Lake Garda) We are a family of 2 adults and three boys aged 9, 12 and 14. Our holidays are very simple, we go to an apartment, relax, enjoy the food, swim in the pool and soak up the sun, and that is it. (Sounds boring, but after a long hard working year it is just what the doctor ordered). That is what we wanted from this holiday as well. The Villa Olivo consists of two types of accommodation: self-catering and a hotel which offers bed and breakfast. Those in the apartments could avail of the breakfast at a cost of 8 euros per person. (But after seeing what was being bought in the local Lidl for breakfast...

Review of Villa Olivo, Bardolino

IT'S NOT JAMES VILLA, IT'S MINE

Advantages: Something to look forward to, reasonable prices
Disadvantages: want to own one and can't afford it

...it up and saw that they certainly had expanded. There wasn't just Lanzarote and Tenerife like years ago, but now Costa Blanca, Menorca, Majorca, Portugal and even Florida. I flicked through, then decided to go straight to the prices, which come in a seperate leaflet. I was thinking of me and my husband having a two week holiday in October, and was wondering about Costa Blanca as it's still warm then. My jaw dropped, was I seeing things?. I could book a two bedroom. two bathroom villa with private pool for £279 per week. These were not the sort of prices I had expected. Only earlier that week I had been looking on the internet for a villa, but even though I thought some were cheap at £350 per week, nothing could beat this. Later that night, I logged onto their website and quickly ordered a brochure. My mum received theirs within...
