January is always a popular time to book a holiday and that’s no different for holiday villas in Spain, especially in popular resorts such as the Costa del Sol. In fact this January we’ve seen a larger than expected increase in enquiries being sent directly to the owners of the fabulous holiday homes you’ll find on Costadelvillas. With this in mind we’ve decided to offer five quick tips to finding the perfect holiday villa in Spain…

1) Shop around – there are plenty of fantastic luxury villas to rent in the Costa del Sol region of Spain, so don’t get set on one particular villa, look around and enquire  about several holiday villas.

2) Don’t be put off by larger villas – just because you only a need a villa for four, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t look for a villa for six, larger villas can be cheaper and offer more space.

3) Location, location, location – if you’re looking for entertainment and attractions nearby make sure you do your research on the resort you plan to stay at, villas further away from the main areas may be cheaper but you may have to spend more money on transport.

4) Talk to the owner – ask the owner for advice before you confirm your booking, they will know the area well so will be able to help with any questions you may have.

5) Consider the off season – prices are higher and availability is lower for the peak times but visiting the Costa del Sol in off season months like April and October still offer great temperatures and plenty of sunshine.
