For a more conventional option, both specialised
property rental agencies and private individuals offer apartments
for long-term rentals. Often the private individual will appoint
an agency to manage their beachside, rural or golf property; the
agency may offer the renting party further services in addition,
such as car hire. If you have a family and need to rent a larger
property, perhaps with your own private garden and swimming pool,
you may prefer to choose more spacious long-term rental accommodation,
such as a villa. These are managed in a similar way to apartments.
Often they are located in 'urbanisations', residential developments
situated in quiet areas either on the outskirts of a town or city
or even a few kilometers away from the nearest urban centre. So
it's important to enquire if you'll need to rent a car for your
long-term accommodation. There are usually bus services to these
residential areas, but they finish as early as 20.00. However this
isn't a problem for shopping or eating out, as most urbanisations
where rental accommodation is located have supermarkets, restaurants
and other useful amenities. So if you want a change from eating
at home in your apartment or villa, there is usually a wide range
of bars and restaurants to choose from nearby.
