Late deals for July

If you thought you'd cope without a summer escape but are now chomping at the bit to jet away, worry not. There are a ton of late deals online rewarding last minute holiday bookers... see the choice selection below for starters.

Italy's three month Opera Festival 2009 continues in and around Florence over July and August. It's a pricey city to visit, especially with the current exchange rate, but you can find a 7 night stay at a four star hotel (including breakfast) for around £240 with Great Late Deals.

Those feeling a bit flush should try a (bargain) luxury holiday in Mauritius. You can score a mega 14 nights for the price of 7 (with the added bonus of complimentary full board) at Le Telfair Golf Resort & Spa - a luxury, beachside haven. Prices start at £2240 per person with a saving of up to £1150 per couple with ITC Classics.

New York flights are currently selling for a fraction over £500 in July on Virgin Atlantic (a relatively safe bet for cheap New York flights), but anyone looking to match a bargain flight with budget accommodation in the Big Apple will be aware quite how hard this is. BA Holidays are making it a smidge easier with 3 nights for the price of 2 at Thirty Thirty Hotel until the end of August (prices from £56 per person, per night).
