If you are looking for a travel discount this May, head to Italy
In conjunction with recent drops in overseas airfare and a strong rise in the dollar, Parker Villas of Massachusetts unveiled a major price rollback at dozens of their exclusive Italian villas for May 2009 rentals.
Selected Italian villas in Tuscany, Umbria, Lake Como, Italian Riviera and many other popular destinations including Rome, Florence and Venice have been scaled back to Off Season Winter rates. Savings on individual properties range from 5 to 55%. Vacationers stand to save hundreds to even thousands of dollars on Parker’s Italian villa rentals. Nightly costs per couple are averaging under $99 a day with many dipping as low as $50 per couple per night. Renting a villa in Italy is more economical than staying in hotels, especially for more than two persons.
According to Mario Scalzi, founder of Parker Villas: "The trend shows families and friends pitching in on joint vacations. This not only offers significant savings but enhances the overall experience by sharing it with likeminded people."
May is one of the best months to rent Italian villas due in part to the mild climate, fewer crowds and lots of Italian festivals to entertain visitors. Italy continues to remain a strong draw for Americans. For their part, merchants, restaurants and tourist attractions in Italy have become sensitive to the reality and are lowering their prices as well. Scalzi goes on to say: "Just do the math compared to a year ago. Combine the savings on our Italy villa rentals with a 20% stronger dollar and drops in airfare that in cases exceed 40% and you have a real stimulus package for a much needed Italy vacation."
Parker Villas, in business since 1993, enjoys one of the best reputations in the industry for delivering quality Italian villas. All of its properties are personally chosen and inspected regularly. Properties that join Parker Villa’s collection are exclusive thereby eliminating any chance of overbooking. Parker Villas maintains its own office in Italy to provide seamless customer service.
