LOOKING around your house on a dull January day, did you ever wish you were living somewhere else, somewhere beautiful, somewhere hot, somewhere interesting, anywhere else? writes Joan Scales
That's what holidays are for, and when you opt for self-catering abroad, you can have that beautiful, interesting home in the sun. The best thing about self-catering holidays is that you can stay in fabulous places, in homes you could never afford, if only for a couple of weeks.
The quality of self-catering homes around the world has improved in recent years, and with the internet, it's easier than ever to find great accommodation, wherever you want to go. The building boom of the past 10 years across Europe, the US and South Africa means that great properties are available and the market is very competitive - good news for renters.
