I am sorry you can call them what you like but pictures speak volumes[msnwink]

The times you see a villa discribed as any of the above and when you look the photos they are nothing like luxurious or any of the other words chosen to discribe the home[msnscared]

Im sorry but floral sofas and basic furniture, and villa back to back with another villa is not my idea of luxury[msnwink]

Ok Mach has basically hit on the head what I was originally trying to say. Like hotels there are levels of accommodation. 2 star, 3 star etc. And virtually every advert is saying prestigious, luxury etc and in fact - all the villas on this site are lovely homes, I think you all have something to be proud of, but the reality is that a lot of them aren't luxury or prestigious, they are basic accommodation. I think a star rating would help with this. Because the prices are so close in a lot of instances, it's very hard for a novice to tell whether they are actually getting luxury, upscale accommodation or your usual villa. And I think to this end it's very important to actually clarify this because if it was a honeymoon or something and I had booked 'luxurious', 'prestigious' accommodation to find my house overlooked a dozen others immediately at the back, and it was really basic furniture package furniture, then I would not be at all happy. The pictures do obviously speak volumes but it's not until you actually get into the property do you often see carpet stains, rips in furniture or how MFI looking the furniture is...not saying that's the case with these villas, but you get my point.

I don't think John would want a star rating here......you would have to find an outside company to do that............like the AAA..or something........
