Save hundreds on half-term villa

Solar da Montanha

Vintage Travel is offering savings of up to 30 per cent on European hand-picked villas with private pools for May half-term.

Solar da Montanha (above) is a tranquil three-bedroom property sleeping six in a relaxed rural setting on the Algarve, overlooking beautiful countryside between the villages of Bodeira and Santa Barbara de Nexe. The villa is within walking distance of several traditional restaurants and cafes and within easy reach of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. The week’s rental starting May 25 is reduced to £795 (saving £355).

Or there’s a £300 saving at Les Ramiers – a four-bedroom house sleeping eight on the edge of the picturesque village of Le Barroux in the foothills of Mont Ventoux – a protected UNESCO biosphere reserve – in Provence. Craggy limestone peaks, walking trails, villages known for their wines – such as Beaumes de Venise and Gigondas – and the Roman town of Vaison la Romaine are all within easy reach. The week from May 25 costs £995 (saving £300).
