The owners on these forums are individuals who take great pride in their villas whether they own one two or three. They are prepared to deal ditectly with their guests because they are proud of their homes.
In order to advertise on the three sites we have to have our villas verified. We have to prove that, that is the villa we own.John and Roger have several ways of checking on this.
Nobody will think you are being offensive in asking questions about the villas. In fact owners on this site are all willing to answer as many questions as you like about their homes if you have made an official enquiry
If you have heard about villas which are 'just for renters' and have that feel on the interior this may be because you know someone who has rented through a tour company and not an individual home owner who gives their personal number and name and is not a faceless organisation who allocate on arrival.
Enjoy choosing your villa.
