THERE'S never been a better time to head abroad thanks to the pound climbing to a seven year high against the euro in March, says villa holiday company.
The company, James Villa Holidays, has seen demand for its holidays grow by 12% in the last four weeks as holidaymakers take advantage of sterling’s strength to book their break , with some hedging their bets and buying their currency in advance.
The new strength of the pound means that a £100 buys an extra €22 compared with this time last year, making eating, drinking and fun in the Mediterranean more affordable for the British holidaymaker than at any time in the last few years.
‘There's never been a better time to visit Europe thanks to the great exchange rate,’ says Mark Bloxham, managing director at James Villa Holidays, www.jamesvillas.co.uk. ‘As a villa business, we know that people choose to stay with us because they want flexibility while they are on holiday, especially when it comes to food and drink.
‘Unlike an all-inclusive break, where you won't see the direct savings, our customers want to be able to choose between a barbecue by their private pool and eating out at the local taverna, and the beauty of the change in rates means that it's 10-15% cheaper than last year wherever they eat their evening meal.’
On top of currency savings, a large selection of James Villas with pools have been discounted, with 60% savings in April, 50% in May and 40% in June. The offers are available on bookings made before April 27.
