NEW YORK - Hotel accommodations—and even bed & breakfast establishments— aren't always the best solution for many cost-conscious travelers. Budget-minded travelers, for example, often want the option of preparing their own meals (when they want and without the hassles and expense of restaurant dining) as well as the option of inexpensively doing their own laundry. They don't want to step down from the quality of life they enjoy at home; they expect clean, centrally-located accommodations with elevator and maid service, close to public transportation. And they expect all this at an affordable rate.
Barclay International Group (BIG) has the perfect alternative for cost-conscious travelers seeking such accommodations in England, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and other destinations in Western Europe—short-term, serviced apartment, villa, and cottage rentals. These accommodations will leave budget-minded travelers wondering if they ever left their own front door. They will be greeted by name by everyone from the housekeeping staff to the front desk clerk. They will have the choice of eating out or preparing their own meals in their own kitchen. They will enjoy the luxury of entertaining or working in their own living room and then later, sinking back into an overstuffed sofa and relaxing, surrounded by the comforts and charm of a fine home.
Best of all, travelers will be able to enjoy all this at
up to half the cost
of comparably-appointed upscale hotels.
With weekly rates starting at $816 per week (including tax!) for a studio aparment,
in
many cases, two persons can stay at one of BIG's apartments, villas or
cottages for less than if they
had reserved a single hotel room at a discounted rate!
Cosmopolitan travelers will appreciate the many cities in
which BIG represents
quality apartment/cottage/villa rentals ranging from
modest to deluxe, and from studios to four-bedroom
penthouses.
These feature telephones, fully-equipped kitchens,
private bathrooms and color televisions.
Some also include
restaurants, room service and health club
facilities.
BIG's largest selection is in London (3,500+), where their apartments are located in the most popular areas of the city: Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Kensington. In London, BIG also offers train, tube and bus passes as well as theatre tickets and sightseeing options. For those eager to explore the countryside after their London jaunt, BIG can offer hundreds of rustic country cottages throughout the English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh countryside, and can also assist in car rentals to help in their explorations.
In France, BIG can place travelers in more than 2,500+ Parisian apartments, as well as villa rentals in Provence and on the Riviera, and apartments in more than 39 French destinations, including the Riviera, the Alps and major cities of commerce. We also have locations throughout Western Europe.
Budget-conscious travelers and their travel agents will find that the Barclay International Group is only a fax or toll-free phone call away and in most cases, all of the company's services are available at no fee to the renter. Once they sample one of BIG's apartments, villas or cottages, they'll wonder why they put up with the usual type of hotel accommodation for so long!
