creating memories and fulfilling dream spaces for family and friends to come together.
Making new contacts and sometimes new friends. Working together host and guest to enjoy great spaces and times.
Villas offer the benefit of private pools and comfortable places to enjoy your own relaxed time. No need to stick to set times for meals, routines or going out. You create your own agenda.
To be a successful property owner we would like to make a few suggestions to optimise your guests experience. What are villa renters looking for?
Good quality villas, well maintained and equipped. Private pools, communal and private areas to come together or have a quiet space.
Offering good private villas properly maintained is essential to creating a successful investment and villa holiday.
Good quality and up to date photos is the main selling point for any villa renting.
People enjoy looking at the photos and this sells the villa to them initially. Therefore thinking about how you also stage your pictures is very important, setting up tables and placing wine/fruit etc wonderful made beds, to entice people to feel most welcome.
Very clear and honest description of your villa. Don´t over elaborate or mislead. People do like to read about what is on offer – an idyllic place for that perfect stay, but don´t embroider too much with endless elaborate descriptions and personal opinions which could put people off.
Prompt and friendly replies to enquiries is a must if you want to secure a booking. Time may often be of the essence as people may be looking at more than one property. It is good to build up rapport with all potential guests as they are more likely to book with friendly, prompt responses.
Outside space is also very important. People look for a villa which offers good outside areas perfect for outside living in a sunny climate so private pool, terrace, chillout and bbq/eating areas help create the atmosphere for renters. After all, this is part of the attraction why owners buy in a sunny climate!
How many bedrooms, bathrooms, ameneties available at the villa?
Over the years things that people look for to make a great holiday have now changed. Before a tv was important now it is good internet – the must for children and if honest, we all spend too much time on our phones and devices.
“if the children are happy the grown ups can relax”
Good information booklet and contact numbers for help while at the villa.
Information on how to use things access codes wifi, local information etc.
Most want a home from home or better experience to escape their normal day lives. These are what create memories and help people want to return.
Some people are working all year to come and enjoy their holiday and this is so very important to give them a wonderful time
Don´t forget the competition, to be ahead of the rest those extra touches never go unnoticed, so that ping pong table, that day bed, that luxury bedding etc. will be appreciated.
Also consider pool heating, it extends the renting potential and is more attractive to people because it is often included in the main searches.
