No special offers, no flights, just cheap villas

Because holiday lettings isn’t an agent they don’t set the prices of their villas, the owners do. This means they can’t offer special offers and promotions. They also don’t offer villa + flight packages so you’ll need to organise your flights seperately using a comparison site like cheapflights.co.uk or Expedia.

The benefit of this for you is Holiday Lettings don’t take any commissions on your bookings, meaning villa owners can prices their properties competitively, so you may well find some bargain cheap villas on holidaylettings.co.uk.

Buyer caution when booking direct with villa owners

Unlike a villa holiday agent we recommend you conduct some due diligence when booking a villa direct with the owner through sites like Holiday Lettings. Holidaylettings.co.uk, like other direct rental directories offer no security to your booking as they do not manage properties or owners themselves, they’re just an advertiser. For that reason we recommend doing your own research and looking for testimonials and verified reviews of the property and owner before you commit to a rental.
