5 tips for booking your holiday apartment in Spain

15 March 2026 1 min readUpdated: 16 July 2026

1. Book early for the best selection

The most popular apartments fill up quickly, especially in July and August. By booking in spring you have the widest choice and often the best prices. On Pilarstay you can see availability per apartment directly.

2. Choose direct contact with the owner

By booking directly with the owner you avoid high service fees from large platforms. Plus you get personal attention and local tips you won't find anywhere else.

3. Check the amenities

Swimming pool, air conditioning, wifi and parking — check in advance what is included with your apartment. On Pilarstay all amenities are clearly listed for each apartment.

4. Read reviews from previous guests

Experiences from other travellers give you the best picture of what to expect. Pay attention to comments about cleanliness, communication with the owner and the location.

5. Explore the area in advance
