Hotels seem to understand that you need a different towel for the pool or beach than the one they have provided for the shower. They also tend to offer towels in a decent 'bath sheet' size. And they usually appear to be new, clean and plush.
Most holiday rentals that I have stayed at have only supplied one towel per guest, along with one hand towel and one bath mat. Often these towels have been on the small side. Sometimes very threadbare. Sometimes so bad that I have had to go out and buy towels to use for the week.
So, that is what is going on our list of bach* essentials this week - towels.
I would say that a villa should provide at least one large nice towel per person and a few extra hand towels for use in the bathroom and toilets. There should be at least one bath mat per shower/bath. And it would be great if they provided towels for the pool or beach as well - towels take up so much room in your luggage it would be nice to not have to bring your own.
If the amount of washing is a concern for a holiday rental owner - they should consider some of the thinner towels for the second towel - such as Turkish hammam towels or the waffle towels as pictured below.
What do you think? Should towels be on our list of holiday rental essentials? Or, do you prefer to take your own towels anyway?
