Tips for Villa Rentals

Know What You Want

Determine what kind of experience you’re after—particularly if you’re vacationing with a group.

Get on the Phone…Pictures on websites certainly help, but it’s always best to speak to an agent by telephone.

Take Advantage of Extras

Rental owners are staying competitive by offering such perks as free housekeeping, the use of a car, or a private chef.

Put it in WritingSigning a contract is standard when renting a villa. Like any agreement, this protects you, the owner, and the agent.

Consider Buying Insurance.

Renting a villa is a large investment. Insurance can cover you in the event of a medical evacuation or an unforeseen conflict; it can also protect you from bad weather delays or errors made by the rental agency.

Try an Emerging Destination

Travelers willing to move beyond blue-chip destinations can find incredible value in lesser-known regions.
