This winter, live like a local...who lives in the sun!

Self-catering stays from Egypt to Australia with holiday rentals specialist Campaya.co.uk
 
Sept. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- As chilly days and dark evenings close in across the UK, it’s definitely time to start planning a warm weather escape.

Given that the summer’s not exactly been a scorcher at home, holiday rentals specialist Campaya.co.uk reckons winter sun self-catering breaks will be more popular than ever with the Brits this year.

Claus Pederson, Founder of Campaya.co.uk, comments: “After a disappointing spell of weather in July and August, the thought of not seeing the sun again until next spring is just too much to contemplate for many UK households, and we are seeing a real surge in interest for properties in holiday hotspots worldwide.

“Price remains an important consideration for most people, who are attracted to self-catering as a great way to keep costs under control.  Many are even pooling resources with friends and other families in order to share a larger, more impressive villa than they may have been able to afford alone.”

As UK travellers become ever more accustomed to the concept of ‘staycationing’ in their own country, the idea of swapping expensive hotel-based breaks abroad for a more reasonably-priced self-catering option has also grown in appeal. As well as offering great value for money, this type of holiday enables couples, groups of friends and families to enjoy ‘living like a local’ - renting well-appointed properties that are located conveniently close to a popular holiday spot but often in residential areas that have retained the true character of a region.

This winter, why not swap rain-lashed weekends and nights in front of the TV for a warm-weather break with Campaya.co.uk? Offering holiday homes across the world, rentable directly from private owners and appointed agents, Campaya.co.uk’s choice of properties range from tranquil coastal villas and countryside houses to well-located city centre apartments, including winter sun options such as:
