Affordable short-term rental options for families seeking summer getaways in vacation homes
European Holiday Homes: Affordable Options and Family-Friendly Destinations for Summer 2025
A recent survey of holiday home providers across Germany, France, Italy, and Spain has revealed some interesting trends for the summer season of 2025. The survey, conducted between February 11-24, 2025, analysed bookings from June 6, 2025, for June 15-September 15, 2025.
In Spain, Gran Canaria, parts of Valencia, Cádiz, and Girona have a lower average price for holiday homes compared to the national average. On Mallorca, the east coast offers relatively affordable average prices for holiday homes compared to the rest of the island.
Italy also presents some affordable options, with Lecce, Brindisi, and Trapani on Sicily having lower average prices for holiday homes compared to the national average.
France offers a range of accommodations at moderate prices suitable for families and groups, particularly in Brittany which is particularly affordable. The average overnight price for a holiday home in France in July 2025 is 149 euros.
Germany, too, has budget-friendly options, with the Bavarian Forest, Dithmarschen, and the Lüneburg Heath offering affordable holiday home prices. The average overnight price for a holiday home in Germany in July 2025 is 151 euros.
European destinations are also seeing a trend towards short-term bookings for the summer months of 2025, with families and couples being the most important guest groups. In Spain, 54% of holiday home providers consider families with children to be the most important guest group, followed closely by couples at 46%. In Italy, 64% of holiday home providers consider families with children to be the most important guest group, while families rank second behind couples in Germany at 72%.
Holiday home providers are also making increasing numbers of individual adjustments to the needs of families, such as consciously avoiding digital media and sending personal belongings. Hosts are aiming to provide a more personal and family-friendly experience for their guests.
The popularity of destinations was based on search queries on www.holidu.de for the given travel period. Comparatively affordable last-minute holiday homes can still be found in Germany (notably around the Baltic Sea regions like Rügen, Usedom, Fehmarn, and Lübeck Bay) as well as in countries such as Italy and Austria where budget-friendly options exist for travelers.
Statistical outliers were removed, and calculations were based on median and mean values to ensure accurate representation of the data. The survey was based on responses from 1,062 German vacation home providers, with 596 participants from Italy, 561 from Spain, and 382 from France.
As the summer season approaches, travelers looking for affordable and family-friendly holiday homes in Europe have a range of options to choose from. Whether it's the sunny shores of Spain, the picturesque landscapes of France, the historic cities of Italy, or the scenic vistas of Germany, there's something for everyone. So, start planning your summer getaway now and make memories that will last a lifetime!
