Villa Hire Companies
All villa hire companies for vacations boast of lush greenery, scenic views, luxury, or comfortable accommodation, clean rooms, nice lunches and artistic décor and efficient service at the minimum. You are bound to be lured in by enchanting photos with a marvelous villa set against a pristine, cozy beach and a breezy skyline as a backdrop. You will see images of highly embellished bedrooms; living, dining rooms with gourmet kitchens; and sunny terraces. Even the bathroom and dressing room will be clean enough for you to sleep. The dream ends though as soon as you step in your luxury-dripped apartments (as the villa hire companies claimed).
To save yourself any trouble and also the annoyance of facing embarrassed or defensive villa hire companies, it’s better to do some personal search rather than waste your hard-earned income. Here are some points to note.
Selective collection
You will be surprised to see that very few villa hire companies have handpicked the luxury villas. Chances are that 80% of them also have seen the villa as much as you have before the arrival- through picas only. For this reason, don’t go for villa hire companies with tall claims of covering all locations one Earth and Mars- go for those with limited collection.
Personal inspection
Villa hire companies with exclusive rental arrangements and guaranteed personal inspection (beforehand) are trustworthy. Competitive companies offer money- back guarantee if you don’t find your accommodation matching its description. This can only be given by villa hire companies who have first-hand experience of the villa.
Hotel-style services
Go for villa hire companies that give in-house concierge along with villa rentals. They are most likely to operate in local branch offices which you can contact in case of emergency or a complaint. Some average villa hire companies outsource these services to local companies that have no empathy with you.
Marketing Reach
You can catch their claim when they are all out. Villa hire companies that market in renowned newspapers, travel magazines, trade shows, and websites are better exposed.
Customer reviews
Related to the above point, you can always go for firsthand experience of new comers from their online reviews that are fair enough if published in a magazine of repute. Client base, repeat clients and referrals all show the credibility of villa hire companies.
Standards
It’s queer to know that villa standards are not judged by luxury and comfort but conformation to UK, EU and other state rules and regulations for villa rental. Legislative requirements for property ownership and rental permission must be fulfilled. Good villa hire companies also have (along with villa owners) a license to prove that they qualify for health and safety standards for children and old age people.
Personal service
Last but not the least customer service customized to take care of you by arranging for your arrival on the villa, stay, tour guide, (or personal rental auto), room service, cleaning and laundry, lighting effects for a romantic dinner, rectifying a service slack are all important part of the deal.
