Affordable Villas and Scuba Diving in Greece

Travelers seeking accommodations in northern France are facing difficulties finding suitable villa options, particularly in Brittany and Normandy. While luxury villas dominate online listings, one notable option is Le Sémaphore de Lervily in Finistère, a spacious former lightkeeper’s cottage available for £2,700 for a week in September, catering to families. This highlights a gap in the market for more affordable and family-friendly lodging in the region. In a separate travel issue, a customer traveling from Kigali to Paris encountered significant problems with flight rebooking through GoToGate. Initially quoted a £100 fee, the customer received incorrect payment links, leading to a charge of £361.79 for the wrong flight. A spokesperson from Booking.com acknowledged the mishandling of the situation and confirmed that a refund has been processed, emphasizing the need for improved customer service. Meanwhile, travelers attempting to secure refunds from British Airways for flights to Dhaka are facing challenges. BA insists on a fee due to the airport's operational status, offering only £860 in total. Claims through travel insurance with Staysure are complicated by policy limitations, which only cover cancellations advised by the Foreign Office in cases of natural disasters. Lastly, a couple is searching for a luxury boutique hotel near sandy beaches in Greece, Italy, or Spain for June next year. Despite extensive research, they have found that most beach locations are dominated by large hotels or resorts, indicating a demand for more intimate accommodations in popular coastal areas.
