I think the difference between booking direct with the owner and booking through a tour operator is that there is a much more personal service from the owner. We'd feel like we were letting you down if there was even so much as a lightbulb blown, let alone any bigger issues. Tour ops are really only interested in making as much profit as possible, which they do by constantly shaving off costs by cutting corners. Sometimes they cut a little to deep.

Eddie, I really do hope that it hasn't put you off renting a villa again in the future. If there is anything that any of the owners here can do to reassure you I'll guarantee that you won't be short of messages.
