There brochure is really late this year. Last year the first edition came out in April - thats how long ago this years was booked. ;)

Go on then - how much!!

£816.00 total for the 2 weeks. Approximately £100.00 more than this years but cheaper than booking through the normal Thomson brochure which was about £70.00 more than Portland. It seems daft that there is a price difference when they are part of the same company. Having said all that I forgot about looking for any promotion discounts beforehand. I believe you can save about £100.00 with a promo code. Still at least we know we are going again.

That's a fab price Jules.
I've looked again in the last few mins for next June and already price has risen compared to last night. Looking at around £900 for 2 weeks self-catering thru' Portland.
The fact is Tereza's is getting more popular with more people as 'newbies' stay there (like us this year). Supply and demand and all that. I fear we won't be able to go next year in June at this rate. Can't book yet because of my wife's work committments (she's in retail and they're not allowed to book hols until their staffing levels are worked out re. holiday requests).
The real 'scandal' is that it's Portland/Thomsons that set prices - and 'take' most of the money. The smaller hotels/apts owners in the Med get very little from tour operators in terms of money. The hotels only make money from their guests.

Have you tried booking Tereza`s  direct?

Leo and Fanis do not take bookings direct (contract with thomsons does NOT allow them to).

That is correct - not worth their while to break the contract!!

It's a shame they don't go it alone as they would do just as well as with the TO if not even better and make much more than the TO pay them as well.

montagum:
I have tried to book a well known hotel is SS direct and they are actually much dearer if you do.  The problem is the Tour Operators book the rooms in bulk so get a much cheaper deal.  Just my observation!

Jules:
Glad we booked ours last week end. The price has gone up from £816.00 to £968.00 now.
