Booking a holiday home is easier when you know what each type offers. Here is a quick guide.

Villas suit families and groups who want a private pool, space to spread out and a place that feels like their own. They are usually set apart from town, so a car is useful.

Fincas are traditional country houses, often with stone walls, gardens and views over olive groves or hills. They suit anyone who wants peace and a slower pace.

Seaside homes put you steps from the water. They are the best choice if mornings on the beach and evenings by the harbour are the plan.

A few questions help narrow it down. How many people are travelling? Do you want to walk to restaurants, or be somewhere quiet? Is a pool essential? Tell us your dates and group size and we will suggest properties that fit.
