We have done both, basically worked out which was the cheapest option for us, particularly when there were four of us. Have stayed at Romanza both with TUI and independent as a result of suggestion from the owners to book direct with them. I suppose the owners using operators have the benefit of confirmed stays at the quieter times of the season which guarantees an income and guests using their bar and restaurant. Do the operators pay the owners for the rooms for the year and then it’s down to them to fill it?

Pre-Covid I believe they did yes. They’d pay the price per night for the duration of the season whether the rooms were filled or not. I’d imagine that security is the reason a lot of owners stick with the tour operators.

Looking at it purely financially, we are over in a couple of weeks for 20 nights and are paying €70/night for a family room direct to the owners. If I were to book with TUI, which I could, the owners would see €12/night of that money. Bit of a difference in their pockets.

Yes very lucky, any kind of holiday this year will be a blessing as I know many people won’t be able to get away for one reason or another.

We’ve done 3 weeks a few times now and it still isn’t long enough.

We arrive 3rd August all being well.

On topic. You moaned about off-topic remarks. Can we keep this amicable for everybody's sake? You're not actually required to flame every post I make.
