Which accommodation and location suit your stay

For a stay focused on the historic centre, you should consider the exact location of the holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel in relation to your planned visit to the town. Accommodation in the town is not automatically located in the historic centre; the exact position of each property therefore matters when searching.

If you are also planning landscape destinations or excursions in the wider area, compare the exact location of the accommodation with your intended day-trip destinations. This keeps your choice focused on the desired balance between local history and landscape rather than solely on the type of accommodation. You can compare holiday apartments, holiday homes and hotels based on their location and the features that matter for your trip.

The local tourist office compiles information about transport and excursions in Trets and the wider surrounding area. This provides guidance for arrival and day planning without presupposing any particular transport connection or specific mobility requirements.
