All too often, holidaymakers have experienced leaks, dirt and grime, heating or air-conditioning that does not work and faulty kitchen appliances. So how can you make sure that the self-catering apartment or cottage you are planning to stay at will meet the standards you have come to expect from your holiday accommodation?

Whether you are searching for apartments in Rome or something closer to home, don’t be afraid to contact the owner and ask questions. Alternatively you can visit a website that lists private apartments and houses around the world that are available for holiday rental. For example, Wimdu offers in Amsterdam are reliable and safe, as the company delays payment to the homeowner or host until you have checked in at the accommodation and deemed it satisfactory. To be sure that you don’t have a nasty surprise when you do arrive, the site also insists that previous guests leave reviews, so you can be certain that the place you are thinking about booking is as good as the description claims.

If you are planning a break in the UK and will be booking your stay direct with the owner, ask for references, and if they have some form of accreditation, such as an AA rating, find out when it was awarded. For a stay abroad, look up accommodation ratings in the country you want to travel to so you are aware of the standards each level of rating represents.

By taking the time to search through reviews and to learn what accommodation rating systems mean for guests, it is possible to find great accommodation in amazing settings. The only limit is your budget and your sense of adventure!

I really love every single place: the magnificent Vatican, the adorable and always alive Forum, the glory of the Colosseum, numerous cafes …

Rome Colosseum

Rome is adorable in the literal meaning of this word. It is full of pleasures and temptations. It may seem unbelievable but only in Rome you can drink a cup of hot cappuccino, then buy fruits at a market and afterwards have a meeting with the Pope…. and everything in the same morning. Isn’t is great???

What is more, apart from recommending you to visit Rome, I would like to tell you about Rome luxury hotel, that is definitely worth checking. Actually, there are a lot of them, but I would like to propose you the only one.

Rome, La Posta Vecchia

La Posta Vecchia that is: “Aristocratic Roman palazzo overlooking the Tyrrhenean sea outside Rome”. And this description is completely true. The only one thing, the hotel is not for students and budget-travellers.

Needless to say, that Montenegro belongs to one of the most fascinating spots in the world. It covers a rather small area, approximately 14.000 km2 and its population is not more than 670.000 citizens, Montenegro still can be called the very heart of Europe. It is a land of breathtaking beauty!
