Were you our Melia competition winner?

Thank you to everyone who entered our competition last week in association with Melia Hotels International.

We had over 1,400 entries which was a fantastic response.

The winner is …..

Nick from Warwick.  Well done.

Nick said in his entry that he wanted to take his wife to the Gran Melia in Rome and he tells me that this is still his top choice.   I didn’t know anything about this hotel to be honest, but having had a look at the website (and the photo above) it looks very impressive – an urban resort with large gardens just five minutes from the Vatican.

A weekend in June would set you back £430 per night with breakfast, so Nick has got an excellent result.
