These are great responses! I totally agree, i've been given a free 2 week holiday at a private villa in Colmenar if the company likes my article! I will include the aspect of value for family holidays and being able to plug in games consoles to televisions as you can't do this at most hotels! I've also never been able to fire up a BBQ on a hotel balcony before!! From looking at the private villas available to rent it is also very apparent that a 1 week week stay in a private million pound mansion with infinity pool seems achievably priced, so you get to pretend you are a rock star or lottery winner for a week!

I write articles for free village newspapers as a hobby and was recently approached to write an 'interesting' article for a newly launched Spanish rentals website. As above, the article is to be called "Hotels Vs. Villas. Do hotels really have the monopoly?" So, I made a start and included all the obvious stuff about being able to set your own eating itinerary - namely breakfast after midday if you want it, after the heavy night before, private pools with no screaming kids, personal email communication before your holiday to ask questions and get real answers about the local surroundings etc. Wondering if any one can point out some other less obvious benefits that private rental holidays have over hotels?

Hello, my name is Elliott, 29 and living in the UK but go on holiday to Spain each year as love the country and the weather mainly. I am going back again this year and staying in a rented villa in Colmenar near Malaga for 2 weeks in October. I have never been to see a bull fight and would like to. Does any one know if there will be one between 8th - 22nd october 2012 somewhere near Malaga?
