So you book a summer holiday, ready to sunbathe in a bikini and catch a tan – and then it rains, every single day.
This was not supposed to happen. You checked the weather so you arrived at the perfect time. But apparently, the weather had other plans – and now you’ve spent a load of money on getting your hair soaking wet – and not because of the pool.
But there’s now a place you can go where, if it does rain every day, you can actually get your money back.
Sure, it’s not a holiday you desperately want – you want sun, of course – but still, it’s free time abroard.
Elba is offering a range of hotels, which will give you a refund if it rains for more than two hours a day between the hours of 10am and 8pm.
You’ll get a refund of one night’s stay.
However, if it rains every single day throughout your holiday, you’ll get your entire stay free. Yes, really.
But this offer is only available throughout May – and again from 15 September to the end of October. It will then be rolled out again in May 2020.
It’s not like it’s for an unknown place either – it’s for a top holiday location.
Elba is the third largest island in Italy after Sicily and Sardinia, and has beaches, cute cottages and is just off the coast of Tuscany.
The weather initiative is called ‘Elba No Rain’ – and we’re sure it’ll be popular holiday location this month.
The website states: ‘Even if rain is rare in Elba in May, a little rain can happen. But at Elba even rain is not a problem! In fact, with the initiative ‘Elba No Rain’, during the month of May, in the case of rain, the overnight stay is not paid!’
