We would like to share with you a string of important guidelines that are imperative when thinking about going to Cyprus and renting a villa there. If you just follow these few “must have” rules you would have managed to organize a 100% disaster free holiday with the very best villa rental accommodation that Cyprus has to offer.

On top of the list is the letting agency that you use so make sure it comes with a recommendation or that it is of reputable standing. Never pay any money out until their complete contact details have been confirmed and not only a mobile telephone number. Always use a web site that has a list of satisfied customers and try and contact some of them. Also have a look one of the social bookmarking sites such as stumbleupon where people leave genuine comments regarding site content or services offered. Always pay via PayPal for on line payments so if you haven’t signed up yet, head over to their home page.

Another way to check on the letting agency is just putting their name into the Google search box and then check out the links that come up with their name in them. When it comes to paying, in order to get an over all picture of the price range you should compare the quoted prices on internet with others from a traditional high street travel agent. Take care with the amount paid on internet as they may be quoted in Euro, so check out current exchange rates through on line exchange converters such as www.xe.com

Another important point is to have the exact address of where the villa is written down somewhere just so the taxi driver on arrival knows exactly where to go. If you do have the exact address you could try having a look on Google Earth to see whether there is building works in the area or any other inconvenience.

If you have already booked and have read these steps resulting in better offers, well it may not be too late to change your reservation. I can only recommend that you have a look at the “preferred villa rental agencies” found on the blog linked below and whichever one should should choose I just hope you really have a great time in Cyprus.
