For those without an A-list budget who still want to holiday in style, HomeAway Holiday-Rentals  has put together a list of the top 10 best budget properties worldwide. These include a brand new apartment overlooking the Miraflores golf course on the Costa del Sol, a modern apartment on the Magic Dreams resort in Bulgaria, and a chic villa with pool and Jacuzzi in Thailand. At under £10 per person per night these properties provide not only better value, but much more luxury than a ‘budget’ hotel. There is even a spacious house in London from just £29 per person per night. The only other place we’ve seen rates like that is a certain orange-branded hotel, and we know where we’d rather stay!

So to cut costs, not quality this year, try a private holiday rental. Choose from one of the ten properties below,  or browse thousands more on HomeAway.co.uk.
