I was thinking of organising my own trip for four people to Italy for early March, does anyone know what is the cheapest way to find accommodation in some of the more popular resorts? Are there any good websites that do late deals or is it cheaper to wait for a late package deal from a Tour Operator? Would it be possible to get somewhere midweek to midweek rather than weekend to weekend?

hannah29, Thanks for the advice, I have been to Livigno before and stayed in the Europa Hotel, it was very nice but self catering would be fine this time around. If we hire a car do you know are snow chains or roof rack for skis provided or are they extra?

I was thinking of going out and returning midweek now, does anyone know if getting accommodation will be difficult?

Peter Ross, we thought we would have problems last year in Italy but just call closer to the date. You'll find the same problem all over the place that normally just book sat - sat or sun - sun. If you get closer to the date when they know they may not sell both weeks then they will be more willing to sell to an "awkward" customer. Get a list from the local Tourist Office of the place you want to go to then just keep ringing them and e-mailing them, letting them know that you are still looking........do it every week until you get a result.

Dan, did you get a good deal in the end or did you just pay the normal price?

Peter Ross, if you're looking for an apartment, try a PM to chris (about 57 in memeberlist) in Serre Chevalier, he has an apartment which we have stayed in wed-wed before. Also PG and David@traxvax can sometimes help. Failing that pick a resort or two and e-mail tourist office .

Thanks Helen, I might try that, I am still trying to get everyone moving in the same direction regarding dates but wanted to check feasability of midweek to midweek.

Peter Ross, got a good deal, got no idea how good a deal as didn't know the normal prices, but nice, comfortable, well located B&B in Courmayeur. We had a double room, ensuite with cooking facilities if i wanted to use them, B&B. My dad came with us as well and had the same sort of room as us, but had to pay a 10 euro a night (I knocked him down from 30) (i think) single suppliment.
It does take a bit of effort - well copying & pasting the same e-mail (  ), and calling a couple of them. I have also used www.flexiblebreaks.com before but now not sure i'd use again for a fully catered holiday, but if you were just looking for B&B (or just B) then i'd certainly think about it.
