Mini-Break Mania

The April and May bank holidays are finally within touching distance so if you haven’t already made plans for the 4 day extravaganza; allow us to lend a hand. Get your mini-break mojo on with the help of Fiorelli.

Feel the Heat in Montpellier


Flight comparison website Skyscanner is an ideal tool for arranging last minute mini breaks. A quick browse for the April bank holiday dates returns flights to Montpellier in France for just £133 per round-trip.

Situated in the South of France, Montpellier is a cosmopolitan city with excellent transport links to the local beach allowing visitors to enjoy the best of both worlds on their holiday. Grab a cocktail in Place Jean Jaurès – a central square packed full of luxurious bars, head to Brasserie Vert Anglais for a lavish lunch and shop to your heart’s content at Odysseum - Montpellier’s best shopping centre.


For all out decadence stay at Pullman Montpellier Antigone, the city’s top rated hotel. Tuck into complimentary croissants at breakfast, take a dip in the pool, relax in ultra-modern rooms and enjoy the benefit of staying a mere hop, skip and jump away from the city centre.
And the best thing about Montpellier? The weather heats up around this time of year with average temperatures falling in the mid 20’s. Bliss!

Get Glam in Edinburgh


Glamorous isn’t the first thought that springs to mind when we think of Scotland, but deal hunter Travelzoo are offering a package to Edinburgh which promises to be just that. Available on the first May bank holiday, the £120 deal offers an upgraded stay for 2 people at 5-star Hotel Missouni and a traditional Scottish breakfast.

The hotel has been named as “the most glamorous place to stay in Edinburgh” by The Guardian and has been designed by Italian fashion label Missouni. The hotel is a fashionistas dream and is decked out with stylish hanging lights, plush polka dot sofas and an amazing cocktail bar where the locals regularly hang out.

Edinburgh itself is a great walking city and home to a number of high-class restaurants such as Castle Terrace Restaurant which has won a Michelin star for its culinary achievements. Choose from artisan mains such as ‘roasted tail of North Sea monkfish wrapped in Ayrshire ham and served on a bed of crisp potatoes’ and wash it all down with more delicious cocktails- the Bamboo Cobbler is amazing!

Indulge in London


Alternatively, if going abroad is off the cards this year then why not take advantage of the capital’s best local deals? One such deal is The Park Terrace Restaurant in Kensington which is offering diners an irresistible bank holiday offer with a 5-star dinner and drinks for 2 totalling just £59.

Diners can feast on a generous 3 course meal from the a la carte menu, sip a complimentary cocktail and finish their meal off with a mouth-watering cheese board…Which way to Kensington?
