James villas

7 replies

Nousername94 · 27/05/2023 21:46

tonight we’ve been looking at holidays for 8 adults and 4 children and have concluded it would be better to stay in a villa than it would to go somewhere AI.
Found a really nice villa it is a James villa located in costa Brava nearly £2000 for 7 nights for all of us.
Is this too good to be true? The pictures look nice and there is a nice pool and outdoor area. Is it worth booking?
TIA

Have used James Villas in the past. Prices don't include flights or car hire but you can add them in to make a full package. Always had a good experience using them.

We've used James Villas before.
I assume you need to book flights separately

We’ve used them. Fabulous holiday just as described.

Thank you I am looking forward to booking. Just seemed too good. Will book flights separately

We've used them several times but found that the quality can vary enormously. The last one we had was incredibly remote, we had a hire car but nothing was in easy reach and it was on horrible bendy mountainous roads well away from the resort that it was near and not in. If it's a cheaper price, I'd check the location carefully.

Also check it’s not a fake / cloned page - I know too many people have scammed this way.

£2k sleeping 12 sounds cheap.

Also if you haven’t done a self catering under one roof with all of these 12 people together before I would seriously recommend lots of planning around everyone’s expectations of privacy, cooking, chores, costs routines etc.

V different than being in a hotel together.

Possibly because Costa brava is one of the cheaper destinations in Spain. You’ll still have a good time though. Just check the location isn’t too far from a resort, unless you are happy with lots of driving. We’ve always had great villas with James’ I don’t think they’d put their name there anything crappy.
