A one week stay for four adults will set you back on average €484 if you are booking for the high season. This compares to an average of €969 if you want to stay in Switzerland.

Though we’re currently offering good value for money, it is still twice as profitable to rent out a property here than it is in London. The research also shows rental prices fall about 29% in the low season in resort towns while there is little change in prices in cities in the low season.
