NEW YORK - Hotel accommodations aren't always the best solution for many honeymooners; especially those seeking the utmost in privacy. Budget-minded newlyweds, for example, may want the option of preparing their own meals (at their convenience 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 have at home. They want clean, centrally-located accommodations with elevator and maid service, close to public transportation, all at an affordable rate. Other honeymooners, on a less restricted budget, may wish to enjoy the finest accommodations that Europe has to offer—all with the feeling of spaciousness afforded by suite-type accommodations but at hotel-room prices.
Barclay International Group (BIG) has the perfect alternative for either type of couple seeking accommodations in England, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other romantic honeymoon destinations—short-term, serviced apartment, villa and cottage rentals. Rentals can be for as short as three nights.
These accommodations will provide newlyweds with their perfect first "love nest". 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 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, they 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 apartment, in many cases, two persons can stay at one of BIG’s apartments for less than if they had reserved a single hotel room at a discounted rate!
Cosmopolitan travelers will appreciate the many romantic cities in which BIG represents quality short-term 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 the apartments are located in the most popular areas of the city: Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Kensington. In London, the firm 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, Scottish, Irish and Welsh countryside, and can also assist in car rentals to help in their explorations.
In France, we can place travelers in more than 2,500 Parisian apartments, as well as over 100 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 in Italy (including delightful cottage rentals in Tuscany and Umbria), and other countries in Western Europe.
Honeymooners and their travel agents will find that the Barclay International Group is only a fax or toll-free phone call away and almost 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 never again consider the more traditional type of hotel accommodation for their future travels together.
