We inspect all villas, and we do so regularly!. We also frequently inspect villas that have made it to our collection to make sure they are still well-maintained.
We have a strict checklist of standards to evaluate a villa. We only select those that are ensured to be well-maintained and are located at prime locations (no noisy constructions next door!). You can also check out our cleaning guidelines for the villa here.
Since we work directly with the villa owners, the collaboration allows us to offer competitive, transparent prices. If you happen to find the rates listed for the villas on our website cheaper elsewhere, let us know and we will refund the difference!
Rest assured, what you see on the website is what you pay. There is no hidden cost or service fee for you. Instead, the villa owners pay us for listing their villas on our website.
