Holiday Villa Rental
1. What is my budget?
Note that in some cases, villas with the same number of bedrooms may differ in quality, design, amenities and facilities, services offered, and even location. Therefore the pricing will be different. To shorten your search process, simply inform the owner or his representative about your budget if you are booking directly through the villa website. If you are booking through agents or booking engines with hundreds of villas listed on their website, filter the villas by price range to make your search easier and faster.
2. How many people are traveling with me?
All luxury villas for rent have requirements for the maximum number of guests allowed to stay in the villa. Some are willing to extend numbers for an additional fee, but others are not flexible at all. If your group exceeds the maximum number of guests allowed, then you may need to find two or more villas next to each other or on the same property as most of the villas operate independently. It is most convenient to have an agent who can help you sort and search for the right villas for you.
3. Am I traveling with children, the elderly or a disabled person?
If you are traveling with people with special needs or special needs, ask the villa representative if the villa is suitable for you. Some villas are built on a cliff, which is not at all suitable for children. If you are traveling with someone with a disability or a wheelchair, look for villas with a lift or a one-story villa built on flat land.
4. Is the location suitable for my needs?
Know where the villa is based on your travel plans. If you're traveling with your group of friends and planning to party as much as you want, might you need a villa close to the crowds? If you want to relax with your family or friends and enjoy a totally quiet vacation, you'd better be in a peaceful area where you can just hear the sound of the waves and the surrounding nature. There are many luxury villas, mostly built in a private secluded location, specially designed as the perfect retreat.
5. Is the villa equipped with the facilities and amenities I need?
This is important if you plan to spend most of your time in the villa. Most luxury villas are equipped with a private infinity pool, gym, movie theater, games and entertainment room, spa, private beach, tennis court, and more. One may have all the amenities and amenities you want, but not exactly the right location. Always consult a locally based agent who knows the destination very well.
6. Are there staff in the villa?
Regardless of the number of rooms and the size of the villa, there will be no villa staff in our villas. Only you and the people traveling with you can take part in the villa. You can also review the answers to such questions on the frequently asked questions panel of our website. It is generally preferred by our guests that there will be only our guests who make the rental process in the villas and there is no one else.
7. How do I know if the company I booked with is legit and my payment is secure?
First, you should see the profile of a person representing the company on the about us page. After your initial query or if you have corresponded with the company, research the profiles of the people you contacted. If they are professional and legal, they should at least have a linked account/profile with genuine connections and recommendations. Look at the history of the company or villas. Read some real villa reviews on our website.
8. Are meals or food included?
Meals are not normally included in the rental. Although some villas offer free breakfast, the rest of the meals must be at the guests' expense. The staff at the villa will be ready to shop for you and it will be a pleasure for you to cook in the fully equipped kitchen on site. You can also do your shopping as you wish from the markets or similar places near your villa. This makes it much more reliable and makes you feel really at home.
9. Is airport transfer included?
Most villas do not offer free 2-way airport transfers. However, adjustments can be made according to demands. If not included, you can choose to arrange your transfer upon arrival at the airport or ask the manager or villa representative to arrange it for you before your arrival.
