We enjoyed an excellent holiday at the end of September in Andalucia at the Antequera Hotel. Situated within 20 minutes walking distance from the centre of this lovely town, it was a pleasure to walk around and admire the wonderful architecture, historic churches, parks and shops on the way.The hotel was lovely, quiet, good food with clean spacious bedrooms and friendly staff.Mistral representative, Ana, was attentive and supportive throughout the whole holiday, gave us lots of information and was fun to be with.Andalucia is a beautiful area, we loved every place we visited!

Just returned from a great holiday in Puglia with Mistral Holidays, first time we?ve used them. It won?t be the last.Given the quality of everything that was included and an excellent tour manager the holiday was good value for moneyWe were with a like minded group of customers and they all intended looking what other destinations were available for 2024Thank you Mistral

I've just returned from a 7 day holiday to the Venetian Riviera (Venice, Verona, Lake Garda and the Dolomites) and what a great trip it was - I can't find enough superlatives to describe it. Our guide, Debbie, was absolutely fantastic. Told us so much about the area, was extremely kind, well organised and had a terrific sense of humour. The hotel was very close to the wonderful beach, there was plenty of well-cooked food, and my room was very spacious and super clean. The included excursions were all amazing. I did the 'optional extra' excursion to Treviso on Sunday - a guided tour by Debbie (a wonderful non-touristy town) and a wine tasting (with lunch) which was the absolute highlight of the whole week. Incredible value for money. And no, I'm not being paid for this review! Great bunch of people, which was lovely for me as I was travelling alone. My second Italian Mistral Holiday, and certainly won't be my last. Loved every second!

We?ve just returned from the Italy?s Mediterranean Riviera holiday. We were so impressed with the organisation and execution of this tour that we have to compliment Mistral Holiday on a job well done and we will certainly be keeping an eye on any forthcoming offerings.

What should have been a lovely trip spoiled by the inadequate tour manager allocated to our group. Still awaiting response from Mistral following my emails.

Wonderful place train journey to the centre and then walk. Not for the faint hearted as several up and downs steep walks and long

Just back from Sunny Austria. What a great holiday, lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Our tour guide Debbie was so knowledgeable and friendly giving us information along the way. Added bonus was free bus and cable car travel within the area. Only slight complaint the food was a bit samey, otherwise excellent value for the money.

Just back from the Italian Riviera tour (September 2023). It was unbelievably bad!1 ? On arrival at the airport, no one identified themselves as being from Mistral. Our group assembled itself and then had to walk around the airport trying to find the coach driver.2 ? Mistral?s website said, and still says, ?For the 2023 season we have again reserved accommodation for this holiday in the family owned 3 star Hotel La Pace in Forte dei Marmi?. We booked the holiday based on that information. Only when we got to the airport did we find out that Mistral changed our hotel to a completely different hotel called Mediterraneo. Only one couple noticed the change beforehand because they found it hidden on page two of a letter (in small print) that Mistral sent just prior to the holiday. No images of the Mediterraneo appear on the website. Probably because:3 ? The substituted hotel, Mediterraneo, was terrible: (A) Most rooms did not have working air con. Ours did for a few days, but most of the time it didn?t work. There was a mini-safe in the room, but it did not work. It was reported but was not fixed, meaning that we had to take our valuables everywhere with us, despite the repeated warnings about pickpockets in the areas that we went to. (C) A wall light by the bed ?crackled? when switched on, it was reported but not fixed, so we had no light for half the room for the duration of the holiday. (D) bed linen was not changed all wee. (E) The towels were only refreshed just before we came home. (F) Breakfast options are limited and mostly full of sugar, so no good if you?re diabetic. (G) Most of the guests had queries on their bar bills payable at the end of the holiday.?guests were not given receipts to sign when placing drinks orders so the accuracy of the final bill was very hit-and-miss. (H) The room and bathroom were tiny.4 ? On the last day, Mistral posted the wrong time for us to be taken to the airport. Our plane was at 1850 but the pickup was scheduled for 1215, meaning that we would be sitting in the airport for about 5 hours. We questioned it and were told that it was correct. When it got to 1245 we called the Mistral office, they called us back later and said it was a mistake and that it would now be 1515. Meaning that we spent most of the last day sitting in the hotel lobby when we could have done something more productive with the last day of our holiday.We will not be using Mistral again!

Our first-ever cruise down the south Croatian coast was a great experience. The crew were excellent - friendly, helpful and competent, and the cabin accommodation was very comfortable and clean. I was asked if I had any food allergies, and when I said I avoided cheese and chocolate because of migraines, the kitchen staff were very thoughtful about supplying alternatives. We would certainly consider further small-boat cruises. The EasyJet flights from Gatwick were very delayed, and I would avoid using them in future.

We have never used Mistral before but we were very impressed with the price, organisation and holiday itself. We stayed at Porec in Croatia. The hotel was excellant as were the included excursions

We have just come back from Italy ,8 fantastic days in the Italian riviera .We never traveled with Mistral holidays before , from start to finish it was superior to any we have done with different company?s .Great flight there and back no problems, our hotel was 3 stars But it was a family run hotel friendly clean and fabulous Italian meals .But for us what made our holiday perfect was the tour guide we had all the time with us a Lady called Lynn her knowledge was so good she spoke perfectly and went out of her way to help anyone she called us her family for the week 44 of us we all had a fab time .The only and yes only think we thought was a let down in Florence Lynn could not be our guide due to Italian laws ? we had an Austrian lady called Helga well she was rubbish we could not understand a word she was saying so we learned nothing about our guided tour for 2 ours shame.But all in all for us Mistral holiday will be used lots more thank you Mistral holiday.Few people did complain ? you get what you pay for !
