| Look to travel to Croatia outside the months of July and August. Whilst we appreciate school holidays mean families can only travel during the summer months of July and August, if you can travel outside these months such as in April, May, June, September and October, you can find properties, including properties from our Premium Villas Collection, cheaper by as much as 75% of their July/August prices |

Book Early If your holiday dates are fixed and with some of our most popular villas booked up to two years in advance, we strongly recommend booking early to get the villa/apartment you want at the price you want. Plus you can take advantage of early booking discounts on selected properties. |
| Use the entire villa capacity to get the best value for money. At first glance some of our villas may seem expensive. Don’t be put off! Prices displayed are for the villa per night and not per person. Our average large villas sleep between 10-16 persons and our largest property sleeps up to 38 people. When the cost of the villa is split over the number of people who can sleep at the property, the price often works out to be terrific value for money. Great for large families/families travelling together or a group of friends. Let one of our Croatia specialists help find the right villa for you party size. |

Choose flight options to match your budget and group size. Low cost flights: As Croatia is within 2 ½ hours flying time from the UK and Scandinavia and even less from other European Countries, consider booking a low cost flight to Croatia. With the money saved consider spending it on the villa you had your eye on. Whatever your global departure point, for the latest information on the best flight deals to Croatia use our Croatia Skyscanner. Private Jet: If you are travelling in a large group consider hiring a private jet which can work out surprisingly cost effective. If you have booked accommodation on an island e.g. Hvar and Brac you can fly direct to their respective island airports. Save time by arriving closer to your villa rather than arriving at one of the mainland International airports followed by an island transfer. For further information on private jet hire click here. |
| Car Hire Advice We strongly recommend renting a car for most of our villas and apartments. What seems expensive initially actually works out to be a cheaper and more flexible option in the long term as you save money on airport shuttles/transfers and continuous use of taxis and buses during your stay. As a Croatia specialist we have formed excellent relationships with a wide variety of car hire providers throughout Croatia. As such we are able to offer our clients a wide choice of vehicles, a great selection of pick up locations and the very best value for money. Tip:Avoid overpriced car insurance Car rental companies will sell you expensive excess insurance at their counters. Cheaper insurance doing the same job can be bought from insurance4carhire. |

Eating Out. While restaurants in Croatia are not too expensive, if you don’t want to have a full blown restaurant style meal when you get hungry, stop at one of the plentiful ‘Pekarnas’ and grab yourself an inexpensive slice of burek, a pie made from filo pastry with a delicious cheese filling (meat and apple filled versions can also sometimes be found). Pick up a beer at the same time and find a quiet spot on the beach to relax and enjoy your al fresco meal…..pure bliss. Alternatively, many Croatian supermarkets will make up an inexpensive sandwich for you at their deli counter. Just ask them. |

Waterside Villas and Apartment. Book a waterside villa/apartment in many other European/Mediterranean destinations and you may have to pay top prices to secure such an enviable position. Yet in Croatia, with many of our properties situated less than 10m from the beach offered at much lower prices, you will be saving money compared to booking the same villa in another country. Great value for money with a fabulous view. |

If you are flexible with where and when you want to travel and you also wish to see the best of what Croatia has to offer with maybe a visit to the surrounding countries (Montenegro, Slovenia, Bosnia), then contact one of our Specialists who can put together a competitively priced itinerary for you based on accommodation and car hire. If you have a budget we can work to even better! Leave it to Croatian Villas to put together a fabulous multi centre holiday for your consideration. |
