Even cheaper is to arrange for a house swap or find an apartment to rent in an old castle or farm. We rented a three-bedroom apartment with a kitchen in a 16th century castle 20 miles from Venice for $700 a month and since it was also a winery we got all of the wine we could drink for free. It's a wonderful way to meet local people. I've found all of the places we've rented all over the world on the internet. Italy was terribly expensive so we did our shopping in markets and cooked on our little three-burner stove. It's a great adventure and can actually be cheaper than staying home (except for the film!) If you are interested in Honduras, I can tell you about some even cheaper places!
